Fictional History
Many centuries ago, a civil war among Earth's Eternals ended with the losing side, led by Uranos, being banished from Earth. At this point the Eternals had not yet gained their longevity and near-invulnerability (from the release of radiation which transformed Kronos), and so Uranos and his followers never possessed these qualities. Uranos and his Eternals arrived on the planet which has become known as Uranus, where they discovered a Kree base, established there during the Kree-Skrull War. Using Kree technology, the warlike Uranos and most of his followers built a spaceship and intended to return and conquer Earth to destroy the other Eternals. Astron and three other, more peaceful Eternals chose to remain behind. Uranos and his faction encountered a Kree armada which destroyed their spaceship. The surviving members of the faction settled on Titan, a moon of Saturn. Their civilization there eventually destroyed itself through civil war, but the sole survivor, Sui-San, together with A'lars, an Eternal from Earth, became the parents of the Eternals of Titan.
The peaceful Eternals back on Uranus were the ancestors of the Uranians, who flourished on Uranus until the mid-20th Century when they were wiped out by natural disasters. They have also been portrayed as having been killed, at their own request, by Deathurge.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or history:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
