Spore was made dormant. It was revived again in modern times, and attempted to absorb the body of the mutant
Wolverine, but another mutant, Sister Salvation, destroyed the Spore with her healing touch. Wolverine
postulated that the Celestials had forseen the Spore's eventual return, and were responsible for her mutation.

Seeing that the Deviants meant to destroy the Mothership, Sprite broke Zuras' commands and informed the Forgotten One. Sprite
gave him a silver spacesuit and made his hut into a spacecraft. With it, the Forgotten One was able to defeat the Deviants.
When Zuras ultimately learnt what had happened, he made Sprite serve as the Forgotten One's aide, and the two of them became
great friends. While trying to improve Olympia's systems, Sprite accidentally sent Olympia into the Negative Zone once, but
they were able to restore it to its proper place. Sprite advocated the appointment of the Black Knight as Sersi's Gann Josin
as a settlement to Ikaris, who wanted her killed.

Sersi
Daughter of Helios and Perse. Sersi is fond of dancing, and is the only Eternal who is a fifth-level adept at matter manipulation.
As a child, Sersi accompanied Utnapishtim, hoping to learn if he was an Eternal. She had a brief encounter with a time-travelling
Captain America and the Forgotten One at that time. Sersi became famous in Greek Mythology through her
encounter with Odysseus, when he landed upon her island, Aeaea, and she turned his men into pigs. Sersi fell in love with Odysseus,
and he spent several years with her. Years later, Telemachus came to Aeaea, on the trail of his father. Sersi fell in love with him
as well, and centuries later, still hadn't forgotten him. During the reign of Nero, Sersi visited Rome, and was caught in the fire
that ravaged the city, but Makkari rescued her. She visited Camelot at least twice, while she was practicing stage
magic. She taught a few tricks to Merlin there, and also uncovered Maha Yogi when he impersonated Merlin. She also visited France during the French Revolution,
and witnessed the use of the guilotinne. She met the poet Thomas Chatterton at some point, and gave him some pointers in forging his supposed
antiquitarian poems. She considered his suicide a tragic waste.
In recent years, Sersi's participation in the affairs of the Eternals have been limited. She had to be forced to attend a Ritual of the
Uni-Mind, and initially refused taking part in Ikaris' battle with the Deviants. Of the remaining Eternals, Pyskos, Ikaris and
Thena have all experienced some friction working with Sersi, though she herself has few prejudices. After Captain America requested Sersi's aid in going
undercover as a teenager, she became involved the Avengers' affairs, and ended up joining the team, mainly to be around the Captain. But after somehow forming a
Uni-Mind with the Brethren, Sersi began to slowly go mad, thanks to the manipulations of Proctor, who in an alternate reality, was married
to Sersi. Sersi temporarily put herself into exile, but has since returned to her home dimension.
For a complete chronological list of Sersi's appearances, plus additional facts & details about Sersi,
please visit the rest of this site.

by the Celestials. 10 years ago, Sledge destroyed a Gatherer that had been recovered by the Damocles
Foundation. This altercation was witnessed by Samuel Guthrie, later to become the hero Cannonball, but Sledge removed the memory
from his mind. In recent years, Sledge has benevolently aided criminals such as Risque, Blob, and Mimic, as well as the team X-Force.
Arcadia Deville and Ulysses Dragonblood have made use of him for sanctuary, and he helped them prevent the Damocles Foundation from
re-activating another Gatherer. -X-Force#66, 68-69, 81, 96, 99
Stellaris
Alien woman of unknown origin who cannot recall her own past. Her world was judged unworthy by the Celestials,
and destroyed. With her advanced suit of armor, she has attempted to slay Celestials, although she has ever managed to accomplish this. She pursued the
Celestials' Replicoid to earth and slew it, then later attempted to prevent the Celestials from creating a new Celestial from the Black Galaxy,
but all her attack accomplished was to provide them with the final dose of energy they needed. After that, Stellaris dwelt on Earth
for a while, and befriended Eric Masterson, the hero Thunderstrike. She assumed the alias of "Leah Princess" as his room-mate. When
last seen, Stellaris had decided to return to outer space. -Thor#419-424, 438-439, Thunderstrike#1, 3-7, 12-13, 15-19, 21
