Who is Makkari?

Makkari is one of the Eternals, a near-immortal offshoot of humanity created by the cosmic Celestials through genetic experimentation millions of years ago. Among his fellow Eternals of Olympia, he channeled virtually all of his cosmic energy into raw speed, making him the fastest of his kind.

Born from the singular imagination of Jack Kirby in 1977's The Eternals #17, Makkari is a Bronze Age Marvel creation who has quietly proven one of the most enduring figures to emerge from Kirby's cosmic mythology. Over nearly five decades of publication — spanning Eternals, Quasar, and the landmark A.X.E.: Judgment Day — this character has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Sersi, Ikaris, and Quasar across 62 catalog appearances. With a key issue to their name and a publishing history stretching from 1977 all the way to 2026, Makkari is a testament to the staying power of Kirby's grand vision — a character who began at the outer edges of Marvel's cosmos and never really left.
