The Eternity 8

 

This team is a place to give second chances to some heroes that I thought were taken before their prime.  These being comic characters, a couple of them have actually made a return to the land of the living.  I still wince at the memory of reading Katma Tui's death at the hands of Star Sapphire - that one hurt!

Eternity and Kid Eternity

 

The final Eternals trailer was released this week, and we got a couple more glimpses of The Celestials.  They look pretty impressive, we will see how much they actually do in the movie, or if they are just featured in flashback and expository scenes. If this movie deals with Celestials and Eternals, is there a chance that Eternity will be introduced?  They have a bunch of other characters to debut, so that's probably a long shot - even if it would be a good place to do so.

Spider-Man and Kid Eternity

 With major The returns of both Gwen Stacy and Jor-El in recent years (or at least alternate versions of them), Ben Parker seems like one of the last comic characters that has been allowed to remain deceased.  It makes sense, as the inspiration his death provided to Spider-Man is the central cornerstone for that hero.  Of course, that mentorship role was taken over by Tony Stark in the Marvel movies, with barely a mention of Uncle Ben.  The poor guy just can't get a break.

Hela Vs. Kid Eternity

Hela, as portrayed by Cate Blanchett, is easily one of my favorites of the villains that the MCU has given us.  After seeing antagonists that had shades of grey to their personalities or understandable motivations, it was fun to see one that was just unapologetically evil.  She looked great too, in her various outfits.  I especially loved when she sported the full helmet, Jack Kirby's design looked amazing on the big screen.  Let's hope that The Enchantress is as well realized.

Kid Eternity and Captain Marvel

Kid Eternity is a character that I have been meaning to feature on the blog for ages now.  I used to read reprints of his adventures in Detective Comics and elsewhere, and liked his schtick of calling forth famous historical figures to assist him. We don't see much of him these days, I guess  with the impermanence of death in the comics, his abilities are less in demand.
