Powers and Abilities
Sprite, like all Eternals, has total control over his body's life force and molecular structure, making him virtually immortal. He does not age and is immune to all known diseases and toxins, radiation, and extremes of temperature. His old Eternal body had the appearance of a pre-adolescent child (and against his will, according to him), but he is in fact hundreds of thousands of years old.
Sprite is able to channel cosmic radiation into blasts of heat or force, levitate himself or others, and create illusions that fool the senses. He has superhuman strength, though because of his small size and childlike anatomy it is less than that of most Eternals. He can rearrange atoms and molecules in such a way as to radically restructure objects (he once created a working ground-to-orbit spacecraft in seconds), and in fact is second only to Sersi in the art of molecular reconstruction.
If Sprite's story is to be believed, he has successfully used the reality-warping powers of the Dreaming Celestial to give himself a human body that will age to adulthood normally (or would have, if not for his demise).
