Who is Sprite?

Sprite is an Eternal — one of Marvel's immortal, god-like beings engineered by the Celestials — who has claimed membership in both the Eternals and the Avengers, keeping company with cosmic figures such as Ikaris and Thena.

Few characters carry the weight of two legendary Marvel teams on their shoulders, but Sprite — who first stepped onto the page in What If? #29 in 1981, courtesy of Steven Grant and Rick Buckler — does exactly that, claiming membership in both the Avengers and the Eternals. A Bronze Age creation with a remarkably long publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2023, Sprite has kept extraordinary company across the decades, sharing adventures with cosmic heavyweights like Thena, Ikaris, and the swift Makkari. With key appearances spread across Eternals, The Avengers, and the venerable What If? anthology, this is a character whose place in Marvel's mythic tapestry is well worth exploring.
