The Deviants:
Despite being inferior to Eternals physically,
Deviants are masters of manipulating the sciences to give them what they
need to stand against them, including genetically-engineered mutates who
can turn their powers against them, Brain Mines that shut down their minds,
and Z-Rays that can cause them intense pain. The Deviant population is
now horribly mutated, and running rampant. How this is to be resolved is
as yet unrevealed.
The Hulk
Robot: This simple construct, built
by two college students, proved to be a dangerous adversary when empowered
by a portion of the Uni-Mind's energies! Its battle with Sersi, Ikaris
and Makkari raged across New York City before Zuras siphoned its energies
off! But with its last act, the robot released an even greater menace...
Dromedan:
Shackled by Zuras for centuries, this
undying Deviant Mutate has been freed on two occasions- when Druig sought
to rule the Incas using Dromedan as a slave (and was instead made a slave
of Dromedan)- and when the Hulk Robot broke into his crypt below New York
City. The infamous "Brain-Snatcher" can make even an Eternal fall under
his control, or go mad with hallucinations! Only the helmet designed by
Zuras could contain his might!
Druig:
Though the son of Valkin, leader of the
Polar Eternals, and cousin of Ikaris, Druig is not a loyal Eternal.
For centuries, Druig was led by his lust for power to various sinister
schemes, including an attempt to rule the Incas using Dromedan, and stealing
the Celestial Weapon his uncle hid within the Pyramid of the Winds. Ultimately,
his lust for power was his ruin, when Ikaris disintigrated him to prevent
him from firing the Weapon.
Maelstrom:
The hybrid offspring of Phaedar, the greatest
Inhuman geneticist, and a Deviant woman, Maelstrom has spent most of the
past century providing other scientists with samples of his knowledge,
and attempting to fulfill his nihilistic desires! Despite having been killed
many times over, Maelstrom may yet return again...and his hatred of the
Eternals will be as strong as ever!
Ghaur:
The sinister Deviant Priestlord tried
to gain the power of the Dreaming
Celestial in order to challenge to the Celestials themselves, but a
combined assault from the Eternals and Avengers laid his spirit low. Since
then, Ghaur
has resurrected himself on several occasions, and currently resides within
a statue of his body. This statue has since been appropriated by the US
Military-- but how long can they hold him?
The Dreaming
Celestial: Tiamut, the famous "Black
Celestial", turned against the 2nd Host, and was placed beneath the mountains
of Colorado, separated from his essence. Even in this state, the Dreaming
Celestial's vast powers can still influence others- as when he tried
to force Ghaur to free him! The renegade Celestial may never be truly defeated.
Blastaar:
The despot ruler of Baluur in the Negative
Zone, Blastaar attempted to annex Olympia by slaughtering its occupants
when it entered his space! But not even the Living Bomburst could keep
the Eternals dead, nor could he stand against the assembled might of the
Avengers!
Apocalypse:
This undying Mutant has fought the Eternals
at some time in the past, but has had his most profound effect upon the
present, when he destroyed the city of Lemuria, allowed dead Eternals to
return to life, and mutated the Deviants into a more monstrous state. Ikaris
barely held his own in a fight against him...and he remains very much at
large.
Warlord
Kro: For centuries, Kro
has been the chief adversary of the Eternals, and secret lover of Thena,
often balancing those two precariously. Kro has had to disguise his identity
among his own people to save himself from "Purity Time", though his long-lifespan
is now well-known. For a time, he ruled the Deviants, but he was never
certain that was what he truly wanted. However, with Ghaur's recent return
to command the Deviants, Kro formed a rebellion against him- a rebellion
all but wiped out with the recent destruction of Lemuria. Whether or not
Kro survived has not been revealed.
