Prime Eternal is the title given to the leader of the Eternals, a fictional race of godlike immortals in the Marvel Comics Universe. The Prime Eternal is official political leader of the Eternal city-state of Olympia, but their power is also more than political, enabling them to initiate a Uni-Mind, the fusion of many Eternals into a massively powerful collective organism. Although this ability is apparently inherent in Thena, so the matter is somewhat unclear. Past Prime Eternals have included Kronos, Zuras and Thena. The most recent Prime Eternal is Ikaris. After Zuras' death the following position-holders would be enhanced to equal his level of power in all areas where he exceeded him/her. For example, Ikaris was previously somewhat stronger and swifter and would not be lessened in these areas, but turns into a more adept energy- and matter-manipulator.
Famous quotes containing the words prime and/or eternal:
“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
“What seems to be, is, to those to whom
It seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful
Consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of
Torments, despair, eternal death.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
