Amazing Mythical Inspiration Behind Every Member Of "The Eternals"

In 1976, a comic creator – Jack Kirby, released the first issue of The Eternals. Eternal is an inhuman race that was created by powerful beings called the Celestials. Each and every Eternal possesses a different kind of superpower but they share some similar traits such as immortality, invulnerability and wisdom. These traits sound familiar right? Like you have heard them many times somewhere. Read their names out loud, rings any bell? That’s right! The Eternals themselves were created based on many gods and mythologies of earth’s ancient civilizations.

   
⁠

Initially, there are 100 Eternals in the comics. But in 2021 Eternal movies, we see only 10. Every character is portrayed by actors from a different ethnicity. This further emphasizes the diversity of our heroes’ inspirations. So which god and mythical heroes do the 10 Eternals represent?
