Thena

One of the Eternals — a race of god-like immortal beings created by the Celestials from early humanity — Thena is a warrior of immense power who modeled the myth of the Greek goddess Athena. She debuted in Jack Kirby's landmark 1976 series.

Born from the Bronze Age imagination of Roy Thomas, Walt Simonson, and Ernie Chan, Thena made her Marvel debut in Thor Annual #7 (1978) as one of the immortal Eternals — a breathtaking, ancient being whose very name echoes mythological grandeur. Over nearly five decades, she has kept extraordinary company alongside fellow Eternals like Ikaris, Sersi, and Makkari, her stories unfolding across landmark series including Eternals and the universe-shaking A.X.E.: Judgment Day. A card-carrying member of both the Eternals and the Avengers, she sits at a remarkable crossroads of cosmic and heroic Marvel history. Forty-four appearances spanning 1978 to 2026 tell the story of a character with genuine staying power — one of the great immortals of the Marvel cosmos, absolutely worth seeking out.
