THE ETERNALS
Welcome to the Great Hall of Olympia. Here you will find detailed records of our fair city's most prominent citizens.
Cybele Ikaris Makkari Sersi Thena Zuras (more to come).



CYBELE
REAL NAME: Cybele
OTHER ALIASES: (current) None, (former) The Great Mother, Dyndymene, Rhea, Agdistis
IDENTITY: Cybele's existence is not known to the general public of Earth
OCCUPATION: None
LEGAL STATUS: Citizen of Olympia
PLACE OF BIRTH: Unknown
MARITAL STATUS: Widowed
KNOWN RELATIVES: Zuras (husband, deceased), Thena (daughter), Mentor (Alars, brother-in-law), Eros (Starfox, nephew), Thanos (nephew), Chronos, Daina (father-in-law and mother-in-law, deceased), Uranos (uncle-in-law, deceased)
BASE OF OPERATIONS: A forest somewhere in Colorado
GROUP AFFILIATION: Eternals of Earth
HEIGHT: 5' 11''
WEIGHT: 125 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Reddish-blonde
STRENGTH LEVEL: Cybele has the average amount of strength for a female Eternal of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. She can lift (press) about 15 tons without negating the force of gravity on what she is lifting.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Cybele possesses the conventional attributes of the Eternal race as well as certain special abilities developed through rigorous discipline. However, Cybele has not chosen to develop any of her known special superhuman abilities to the same degree that Thena and others of the most powerful Eternals have. Like that of all Eternals, Cybele's life force is augmented by cosmic energy, making her virtually immortal, immune to disease and ageing, and able to regenerate any injured or missing organic tissue. Like the other Eternals of Earth, Cybele maintains a virtually unbreakable mental control over the processes and structure of her body, even when she is asleep or unconscious. Only an injury that disperses a significant portion of her bodily molecules, or a force that overwhelms and breaks her mental hold over her body, could cause Cybele to die. Cybele's control over her body, in conjunction with her matter-rearranging ability, enable her to maintain whatever physical age she wishes. As a result, Cybele appears to be no older than her daughter Thena. Cosmic energy bolsters Cybele's metabolism so that she does not tire from any physical exertion. She can resist temperature extremes through mental concentration. Cybele can project cosmic energy in the form of beams from her eyes or beams and flashes from her hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in her body, can be used as force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. Cybele can project a maximum concussive force of at least 200 pounds per square inch. The maximum effective range for her energy beams seems to be about 175 feet. Cybele is only a second-level adept on a five-level scale (with the fifth being the highest) at this discipline, due to her lack of interest in honing her ability further. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours will temporarily deplete Cybele's physical strength, but not her resistance to injury, although it will temporarily increase her sensitivity to pain. She will rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy exertion is over. Cybele can psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape, but she is again no more than a second-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth being the highest) at this discipline. Like all Eternals, Cybele can levitate herself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying the force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around her. She can also levitate other persons and objects even while simultaneously levitating herself. By manipulating gravitons, she can lift even greater weights than her own physical strength would allow her to. Cybele can fly at approximately 600 miles per hour, but her speed is considerably lessened if she is simultaneously levitating more than 200 pounds. One ability that Cybele has greatly developed is her psionic ability to influence the minds of others. Using her psionic hypnotic power, she can prevent herself from being seen or heard. It is not known whether she can psionically influence the minds of others in other ways. Cybele can teleport herself or other individuals psionically, but, like all Eternals, finds the Eternal method of teleportation physically unpleasant. The limit of her teleportational range is unknown.

IKARIS
REAL NAME: Ikaris (original name unrevealed)
OTHER ALIASES: (former) ''Iceberg'' Ike Harris. Recenlty Ikaris has adopted the name "Soverign" as a member of the New Breed
IDENTITY: The fact that Ikaris is an Eternal has been publicly revealed but is generally disbelieved by the Earth's populace
OCCUPATION: (current) Prime Eternal (leader of Earth's Eternals), (former) Warrior, archaeologist's guide, professional wrestler
LEGAL STATUS: Citizen of Olympia
PLACE OF BIRTH: City of Polaria, Siberia, former U.S.S.R.
MARITAL STATUS: Widower many times over
KNOWN RELATIVES: Ikarus (son, deceased), Virako (father, deceased), Tulayn (mother, deceased), Valkin (uncle), Druig (cousin)
BASE OF OPERATIONS: (current) Olympia, Greece, (former) City of Polaria, Siberia; ancient Greece
GROUP AFFILIATION: (current) Eternals of Earth, (former) Polar Eternals
HEIGHT: 6' 2''
WEIGHT: 230 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Blond
STRENGTH LEVEL: Ikaris possesses superhuman strength, enabling him to lift (press) over 40 tons without also employing his mental power to levitate the object he is lifting. He is the strongest of the Eternals of Earth.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Ikaris possesses the conventional attributes of the Eternal race as well as certain special abilities developed through rigorous discipline. Lime that of all Eternals, his life force is augmented by cosmic energy and he has total mental control over his physical form and bodily processes even when he is asleep or unconscious. As a result he is virtually immortal, immune to disease and aging, and invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. Should Ikaris be injured somehow, he could regenrate any injured or missing tissue. An Eternal can only die through an injury that disperses a significant portion of his bodily molecules, or if he is injured after his mental control over hs body is somehow broken. Cosmic energy bolsters Ikaris's metabolism so that he does not tire from any physical exertion. He can resist temperature extremes through mental concentration Like all Eternals, Ikaris can levitate himself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying he force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around himself. He can also levitate other persons and objects, even while simultaneously levitating himself. Ikaris is able to fly via self-levitation at approximately 850 miles per hour (1.1 times the speed of sound), a rate of speed most other Eternals cannot match.Ikaris has psionic abilities, enabling him to scan the thoughts of any mind less adept than his own. He can mentally create illusions so as to disguise himself. Ikaris can also psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. However, Ikaris is only a second-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth level being the highest) in this discipline. He can rearrange molecules in the air so as to create a virtually impenetrable shield about himself. Ikaris can project cosmic energy in the form of beams from his eyes or beams and flashes from his hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in his body can be used as concussive force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. Ikaris can project a maximum concussive force of at least 250 pounds per square inch. Because Ikaris's heat beams can vaporize solid objects, they are often called disintegrator beams. The maximum range for his energy beams is about 200 feet. Ikaris is a fourth level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth level being the highest) in this discipline. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours will temporarily deplete Ikaris's physical strength, but not his resistance to injury, although it will temporarily increase his sensitivity to pain. He will rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy expenditure is over. Ikaris can teleport himself psionically, but prefers not to do so, since, like other Eternals, he finds the self-teleportation process physically unpleasant He can also teleport other people along with himself. Through a thousand years of training, Ikaris has vastly sharpened his senses to an extent that is unknown.

MAKKARI

REAL NAME: Makkari
OTHER ALIASES: (current) Mike Khary, (former) Mac Carry, Jake Curtis, Hurricane, Hermes, Major Mercury, Mercury
IDENTITY: Secret; The fact that Makkari is an Eternal has been publicly revealed but is generally disbelieved by Earth's populace
OCCUPATION: (current) Adventurer, (former) Amateur technologist
LEGAL STATUS: Citizen of Olympia, capital city of the Eternals of Earth
PLACE OF BIRTH: Olympia
MARITAL STATUS: Single
KNOWN RELATIVES: Verona and Mara (parents)
BASE OF OPERATIONS: (current) New York City, (former) Olympia, various
GROUP AFFILIATION: (current) None, (former) The Eternals of Olympia, The Monster Hunters, The First Line
HEIGHT: 6'
WEIGHT: 245 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Strawberry blond
OTHER DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: None
STRENGTH LEVEL: Makkari possesses superhuman strength, and can lift (press) around 10 tons. Formerly he could lift 50 tons without also employing his mental power to levitate the object he was lifting.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Makkari possesses the ability to move at superhuman speeds far faster than any other known Eternal. He possesses superhuman reflexes, and can use his speed to create cyclones by running in circles, or to run up walls and across water.
FORMER SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Makkari possessed the conventional attributes of the Eternal race as well as certain special abilities developed through rigorous discipline. Like that of all Eternals, his life force was augmented by cosmic energy and he had total mental control over his physical form and bodily processes even when he was asleep or unconscious. As a result he was virtually immortal, immune to disease and aging, and invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. Should Makkari have been injured somehow, he could regenerate any injured or missing tissue. An Eternal could only die through an injury that disperses a significant portion of his bodily molecules, or if he is injured after his mental control over his body is somehow broken. Cosmic energy bolstered Makkari's metabolism so that he did not tire from any physical exertion. He could resist temperature extremes through mental concentration. Like all Eternals, Makkari could levitate himself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying he force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around himself. He could also levitate other persons and objects, even while simultaneously levitating himself. Makkari was able to fly via self-levitation at Mach 3 (roughly 1550 miles per hour). three times the speed of sound. Few if any Eternals could surpass Makkari's maximum rate of speed. Makkari had psionic abilities, enabling him to scan the thoughts of any mind less adept than his own. He could mentally create illusions so as to disguise himself. Makkari could also psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. However, Makkari was only a first-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth level being the highest) in this discipline. Makkari could project cosmic energy in the form of beams from his eyes or beams and flashes from his hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in his body can be used as concussive force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. Makkari could project a maximum concussive force of at least 200 pounds per square inch. Because Makkari's heat beams could vaporize solid objects, they are often called disintegrator beams. The maximum range for his energy beams is about 175 feet. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours would temporarily deplete Makkari's physical strength, but not his resistance to injury, although it would temporarily increase his sensitivity to pain. He would rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy expenditure was over. Makkari could teleport himself psionically, but preferred not to do so, since, like other Eternals, he found the self-teleportation process physically unpleasant. He could also teleport other people along with himself.
ABILITIES: Makkari is brilliant at driving or piloting any vehicle designed by human or Eternal technology. He is highly talented at designing vehicles for air, sea, or land transportation himself. He is a moderate hand-to-hand combatant utilizing a fighting style which incorporates his superhuman speed.
LIMITATIONS: Makkari's body eventually accumulates fatigue poisons and is susceptible to injury; Makkari no longer possesses any of the psionic powers or energy-manipulation powers of the average Eternal (levitation, optic force projection, molecular rearrangement, etc.), having purposefully readapted all specialized cell enclaves to speed and running-related attributes.



SERSI

REAL NAME: Sersi
OTHER ALIASES: (current) Mesmer, (former) Circe, Sylvia Sersi, Sorceress
IDENTITY: The fact that Sersi is an Eternal has been publicly revealed but is generally disbelieved by the Earth's general populace
OCCUPATION: (current) Adventurer, (former) Dancer, actress, stage musician, hedonist
LEGAL STATUS: Citizen of Olympia, naturalized citizen of the United States with no criminal record
PLACE OF BIRTH: Olympia, Greece
MARITAL STATUS: Single
KNOWN RELATIVES: Helios (father), Perse (mother), Dane Whitman (Black Knight III, former "Gann-Josin")
BASE OF OPERATIONS: (current) Olympia, (former) New York City, (in ancient times) The Greek island of Aegea
GROUP AFFILIATION: Avengers (reservist), Eternals of Earth, Heroes for Hire (ally)
HEIGHT: 5' 9''
WEIGHT: 140 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Black
STRENGTH LEVEL: Sersi possesses the normal amount of strength for a female Eternal of her age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. (However, her exercise is to train herself as a dancer, not as a weightlifter). Sersi can lift (press) about 20 tons without also employing her psionic power to levitate the object she is lifting.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Sersi possesses the conventional attributes of the Eternal race as well as certain special abilities developed through rigorous discipline. Like that of all Eternals, her life force is augmented by cosmic energy and she has total mental control of her physical form and bodily processes even when she is asleep or unconscious. As a result she is virtually immortal, immune to disease and ageing, and invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. Should Sersi be injured somehow, she can regenerate any injured or missing tissue. An Eternal can only die through an injury that disperses a significant portion of her bodily molecules, or if she is fatally injured after her mental control is somehow broken. Cosmic energy bolsters Sersi's metabolism so that she does not tire from any physical exertion. She can resist temperature extremes through mental concentration Although all Eternals can psionically manipulate atoms and molecules, Sersi's ability to do so, developed through centuries of rigorous training and maintained at top level through continual practice, is far greater than than that of any other Eternal. Sersi can not only psionically rearrange atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape, but she can also transmute substances by rearranging subatomic particles as well. She can rearrange the atoms and molecules of another living being without ill effects to her subject's health, as when she transforms a person into a pig and back. In a manner not yet understood, Sersi's psionic powers prevent energy from escaping when she transmutes or rearranges matter. The transformations that Sersi induces are permanent unless she herself, another person, or a device that can rearrange or transmute matter undoes them. The limit to the amount of matter she can transform at one time is unknown (she has, for example, transformed the clothing of dozens of people at one of her parties simultaneously), as is the length of time she can use this power continually. Apparently Sersi can create non-sentient living beings from inanimate matter, as when she seemingly created a scorpion (possibly she only teleported it from a known location). However, Sersi cannot use her powers to create a sentient living being capable of independent thought. Humanoid beings which she has seemingly created out of air are actually automatons created from nearby materials and given a semblance of life through her powers, and controlled by Sersi psionically. Sersi is the only fifth-level adept among the Eternals in the five-level discipline of matter rearrangement, the fifth level being the highest. Sersi is also a mistress of mentally creating illusions. She can disguise her own appearance by mentally projecting an illusion into the minds of those about her. She can also disguise her own appearance and that of others by rearranging their own atoms and molecules, so as to transform her own shape and those of the others, or by rearranging the atoms and molecules in the air about them so that they reflected light differently, distorting the way the individuals look of others. By projecting illusions into another person's mind telepathically, she can make her subject think his entire surroundings have changed, as when she once caused a person at a Manhattan party with her to believe they were alone together in an ancient Greek temple. It should be pointed out that in many cases a witness to one of Sersi's feats cannot be certain if she has merely created an illusion that she has transformed an object, or of she has actually used her matter-rearranging powers to transform it. Sersi's illusions can affect all five senses, so that the illusion, for example, can feel real as well as look real. Sersi has telepathic abilities which enable her to engage in simple telepathic communication with other persons and higher animals, and to scan the thoughts of the mind of any Eternal or ''ordinary'' human being who is less telepathically adept than she. She cannot read the minds of Deviants, but she can psionically control the minds of Deviants whose wills are inferior in strength to her own.
Sersi can teleport herself or other individuals psionically, but, like all Eternals, finds the Eternal method of teleportation physically unpleasant. The limit of her teleportational range is unknown: she has teleported herself from Manhattan to Olympia in Greece without any apparent ill effects. Like all Eternals Sersi can levitate herself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying the force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around herself. She can also levitate other persons and objects, even while simultaneously levitating herself. She can use her levitational ability to suspend a falling body in mid-air. Her skill at levitation is so great that she can even use it to knot a man's tie. Sersi can fly via self-levitation at approximately 800 miles per hour.
Sersi can project cosmic energy in the form of beams from her eyes or beams and flashes from her hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in her body, can be used as force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. Sersi can project a maximum concussive force of at least 225 pounds per square inch. Because Sersi's heat beams can vaporize solid objects, they are sometimes called disintegrator beams. The maximum range for her energy beams is at least 200 feet. Sersi is a third-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth being the highest) at the discipline of projecting cosmic energy. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours will temporarily deplete Sersi's physical strength, but not her resistance to injury, although it will temporarily increase her sensitivity to pain. She will rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy expenditure is over.
ABILITIES: As a trained dancer who has perfected her art over centuries of practice, and who is aided by her superhuman physique, Sersi has extraordinary athletic ability and agility.



THENA

REAL NAME: Thena (changed by royal decree from her original name, Azura)
OTHER ALIASES: None known, but Thena has often been mistaken for the Olympian goddess Athena. Thena has recently adopted the name of "Corona" as a member of the New Breed.
IDENTITY: The fact that Thena is an Eternal has been publicly revealed but is generally disbelieved by the general populace of Earth
OCCUPATION: Former leader of the Eternals of Earth
LEGAL STATUS: Citizen of Olympia
PLACE OF BIRTH: Olympia, Greece
MARITAL STATUS: Single
KNOWN RELATIVES: Zuras (father, deceased), Cybele (mother), Alars (Mentor, uncle), Thanos, Eros (Starfox) (cousins), Kronos (grandfather, discorporated), Daina (grandmother, deceased), Uranos (granduncle, deceased), Deborah Ritter (daughter), Donald Ritter (son)
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Olympia, Greece
GROUP AFFILIATION: Eternals of Earth, Heroes for Hire
HEIGHT: 5' 10''
WEIGHT: 160 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Blonde
STRENGTH LEVEL: Thena possesses superhuman strength, enabling her to lift (press) about 25 tons without also employing her psionic power to levitate the object she is lifting.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Thena possesses the conventional attributes of the Eternal race as well as certain special abilities developed through rigorous discipline. Like that of all Eternals, her life force is augmented by cosmic energy and she has total mental control of her physical form and bodily processes even when she is asleep or unconscious. As a result she is virtually immortal, immune to disease and ageing, and invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. Should Thena be injured somehow, she can regenerate any injured or missing tissue. As an Eternal Thena can only die through an injury that disperses a significant portion of her bodily molecules or if she is fatally injured after her mental control over her body is somehow broken. Cosmic energy bolsters Thena's metabolism so that she does not tire from any physical exertion. She can resist temperature extremes through mental concentration. Thena's special abilities make her one of the most powerful of the Eternals. Thena can project cosmic energy in the form of beams from her eyes or beams and flashes from her hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in her body, can be used as force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. Thena can project a maximum concussive force of at least 300 pounds per square inch. Because Thena's heat beams can vaporize solid objects, they are sometimes called disintegrator beams. The maximum effective range for her energy beams is at least 250 feet. Thena is a fifth-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth being the highest) at the discipline of projecting cosmic energy. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours will temporarily deplete Thena's physical strength, but not her resistance to injury, although it will temporarily increase her sensitivity to pain. She will rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy expenditure is over. Like all Eternals Thena can levitate herself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying the force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around herself. She can also levitate other persons and objects even while simultaneously levitating herself. Thena can fly via self-levitation at approximately 850 miles per hour (1.1 times the speed of sound), a rate of speed most other Eternals cannot match. Thena can psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. She is a third-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth being the highest) at this discipline. Thena has psionic abilities which enable her to engage in simple telepathic communication with other persons and to scan the thoughts of any human or Eternal mind less adept than her own. She can mentally create illusions so as to disguise herself and her companions. Thena can teleport herself or other individuals psionically, but, like all Eternals, finds the Eternal method of teleportation physically unpleasant. The limit of her teleportational range is unknown. Thena's great powers are to a large degree the result of the unusual potential for such abilities which she inherited from Zuras and which she has developed through training and continual practice. She has inherited from Zuras the ability to initiate on her own the creation of the Uni-Mind, the collective life form resulting from the physical and mental merging of a significant number of Eternals.
PARAPERNALIA: Thena often uses a small crossbow as her weapon of choice.


ZURAS
REAL NAME: Zuras
OTHER ALIASES AT TIME OF DEATH: Father Zuras. Zuras had often been mistaken for the Olympian god Zeus.
IDENTITY: Zuras' identity as an Eternal was publicly known to the people of Earth but was generally disbelieved
OCCUPATION AT TIME OF DEATH: Leader of the Eternals of Earth
LEGAL STATUS: First citizen of Olympia, second city of the Eternals of Earth with no criminal record anywhere on Earth
PLACE OF BIRTH: Titanos, the first city of the Eternals, Northern Asia
PLACE OF DEATH: A valley in Peru
CAUSE OF DEATH: Attacking the Fourth Celestial Host while fusing with the Eternals in the Uni-Mind formation, Zuras was rendered brain-dead by a cosmic blast issued by Celestials Gammenon and Jemiah
MARITAL STATUS: Married
KNOWN RELATIVES: Chronos (father, discorporated), Uranos (uncle, deceased), Alars (Mentor, brother), Cybele (wife), Thena (daughter), Eros (Starfox, nephew), Thanos (nephew), Nebula (great-grandniece), Deborah and Donald Ritter (grandchildren)
BASE OF OPERATIONS AT TIME OF DEATH: Olympia, Greece; formerly Titanos, Northern Asia
GROUP AFFILIATION: The Eternals of Earth
HEIGHT: 6' 2''
WEIGHT: 300 lbs.
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Red
OTHER DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: A full beard
STRENGTH LEVEL: Zuras's physical strength was greater than that of any other known Eternal except for Thanos, Gilgamesh, and Ikaris. Zuras could lift (press) about 30 tons without also employing his psionic power to levitate the object he was lifting.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Zuras possessed the conventional attributes of his race race as well as many special abilities developed through millennia of rigorous discipline. Like that of all Eternals, Zuras's life force was augmented by cosmic energy and like all Eternals, he had total mental control of his physical form and bodily processes even when he was asleep or unconscious. As a result he was virtually immortal, immune to disease and aging (Zuras stopped noticeably ageing when he reached adulthood), and invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. If Zuras was injured somehow (apart from the injury that finally killed him), he could regenerate any damaged or missing tissue. As an Eternal Zuras would only die through an injury that dispersed a significant portion of his bodily molecules or if he was fatally injured after his mental control over his body was somehow broken. Cosmic energy bolstered Zuras's metabolism so that he did not tire from any physical exertion. He could resist temperature extremes through mental concentration. Zuras was more powerful and accomplished in the Eternal discipline of projecting cosmic energy from his body than any other Eternal during his lifetime. He could project cosmic energy in the form of beams from his eyes or beams and flashes from his hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves of cells in his body, could be used as force, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic energy. The bolts of electricity that Zuras fired resemble lightning. Zuras could project a maximum concussive force of at least 350 pounds per square inch. Because Zuras's heat beams could vaporize solid objects, they were sometimes called disintegrator beams. The maximum effective range for his energy beams was at least 300 feet. Zuras could also project cosmic energy around his body so as to form a protective force shield. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours would temporarily deplete Zuras's physical strength, but not his resistance to injury, although it would temporarily increase his sensitivity to pain. He would rapidly return to normal after such lengthy energy expenditure was over. Like all Eternals Zuras could levitate himself by mentally manipulating gravitons (subatomic particles carrying the force of gravitational attraction between atoms) around himself. He could also levitate other persons and objects even while simultaneously levitating himself. Zuras could fly via self-levitation at approximately 850 miles per hour (1.1 times the speed of sound), a rate of speed most other Eternals cannot match. Zuras could psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. He was a fourth-level adept on a five-level scale (the fifth being the highest) at this discipline. Zuras had psionic abilities which enabled him to engage in telepathic communication with other persons and to scan the thoughts of any human or Eternal mind less adept than his own. He could mentally create illusions as well. Zuras could teleport himself or other individuals psionically, but, like other Eternals, found the Eternal method of teleportation physically unpleasant. The limit of his teleportational range is unknown. During his lifetime Zuras was the only Eternal known to be capable of initiating the creation of the Uni-Mind, the collective life form resulting from the physical and mental merging of a significant number of Eternals, by himself. He would do so by causing cosmic energy that took visible form as blue flame to erupt from his head. The ''flame'' would then envelop his entire body as the body turned to pure psionic energy. The other Eternals would then merge with the ''flame'', transforming into psionic energy as they did so, their consciousness all merging into one. Thus the Uni-Mind was formed. Zuras may have had other superhuman abilities as well which have not yet been revealed.
ABILITIES: Zuras possessed extensive knowledge of ancient and arcane wisdom.
