15 Strongest Eternals (Ranked)

The Eternals have a long history in Marvel stories, with powers granted by Celestial engineering and centuries of combat experience. Their abilities often overlap, but each Eternal specializes in different disciplines like energy projection, transmutation, telepathy, and speed. Some have led their people, others shaped human myths, and a few changed the course of the cosmos. This list looks at their demonstrated powers, battlefield results, and influence across major arcs in the comics, including appearances in teams and events like ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Judgment Day’.

15. Kingo

Kingo channels cosmic energy into his blades and blasts and is known for exceptional skill with weapons. He has trained for ages in samurai arts and performs with precise control in close quarters. His durability and regeneration let him hold the line against powerful foes. He lacks the heavy reality shaping or leadership amplifiers of others, which is why he sits lower on the list.

14. Ajak

Ajak serves as a communicator with the Celestials and carries deep knowledge of their technology. He flies, heals, and projects energy with the standard Eternal toolkit. His value grows when diplomacy or ritual interface with Celestial artifacts is required. In direct combat he is capable but not as overwhelming as the top tier Eternals.

13. Sprite

Sprite manipulates reality on a smaller scale using illusions that can fool gods and heroes. The trickster reputation hides a dangerous skill set that can reshape perceptions and battlefields. Sprite also wields the usual Eternal resilience and energy projection. Raw force output is lower than the bruisers, but control of senses makes Sprite a serious tactical threat.

12. Phastos

Phastos is the master engineer who builds weapons and infrastructure that let Eternals punch above their weight. He crafts devices that channel cosmic energy and can neutralize or contain high powered targets. In the field he uses matter manipulation and advanced tools to change a fight quickly. His focus on creation over brawling places him mid tier for direct power.

11. Gilgamesh

Known as the Forgotten One, Gilgamesh is a frontline powerhouse with immense strength and stamina. He has gone toe to toe with heavy hitters and kept fighting through punishment that would level cities. His hand to hand prowess is backed by Eternal durability and energy strikes. Limited range of exotic abilities keeps him just outside the top ten.

10. Druig

Druig is a specialist in mind control and psychic domination with a long record of political schemes. He can subdue crowds, interrogate enemies, and bend wills during critical conflicts. His energy projection and flight support his mental attacks when force is needed. When opponents resist telepathy his effectiveness drops, but his influence over battles is undeniable.

9. Makkari

Makkari converts cosmic energy into speed and reflexes that rival the fastest beings on Earth. He delivers countless strikes in moments and can evacuate civilians or outflank armies. His endurance and healing allow repeated high velocity engagements. Without wide spectrum powers he is less versatile, yet his speed changes any fight.

8. Starfox

Also called Eros, Starfox manipulates pleasure centers in the brain to calm foes or tilt negotiations. He combines that with flight, energy blasts, and Eternal durability for balanced field work. His power can disrupt aggression and create openings for allies in team settings like ‘The Avengers’. Against mind shielded adversaries he relies more on standard abilities.

7. Thena

Thena summons and shapes weapons of pure energy and commands advanced combat knowledge from centuries of warfare. She reads opponents quickly and adapts forms and ranges to exploit weaknesses. Her leadership in Eternal conflicts shows strategic depth alongside raw power. While not the strongest in a straight beam duel, her skill set wins decisive encounters.

6. Ikaris

Ikaris projects devastating optic energy, flies at extreme speeds, and withstands sustained punishment. He often acts as field commander and enforcer when the Eternals confront world level threats. His senses and stamina support prolonged aerial combat and heavy lifting. He lacks the deep reality rewriting of the very top names but remains a premier combat Eternal.

5. Zuras

Zuras led the Eternals for ages and channels extraordinary reserves of cosmic energy. He can form the Uni Mind with other Eternals to multiply capabilities and make civilization level decisions. His personal might has matched legendary beings during crises that threatened Earth. Authority and experience add weight to already formidable power.

4. Sersi

Sersi is the most accomplished matter transmuter among the Eternals and can alter objects and beings at will. She has changed molecular structures in battle to end threats without collateral damage. Her social ties to groups like ‘The Avengers’ show how often her talents decide high stakes missions. With flight, energy projection, and near immortality, she brings unmatched versatility to combat.

3. Uranos

Uranos is an ancient warlord whose obsession with conquest produced weapons that erase populations in minutes. His personal energy output and tactical knowledge let him devastate advanced civilizations when unleashed. Containment protocols are often required when he is active because standard teams cannot hold him. He stands as one of the most dangerous Eternal antagonists ever recorded.

2. Thanos

Born of the Titan branch with a Deviant trait, Thanos combines Eternal physiology with relentless augmentation and genius level strategy. Without artifacts he has defeated top heroes through strength, energy mastery, and planning. With access to cosmic technology he wages campaigns that topple empires and shatter defenses. His impact across events like ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ demonstrates power that dwarfs most Eternals.

1. Kronos

Kronos transcended the Eternal baseline after a catastrophic experiment turned him into a cosmic entity. He gained control over time and vast energy manipulation that operates on a universal scale. Gods and Eternals alike regard him as a being who acts through avatars and metaphysical means rather than fists. In terms of scope and influence, no Eternal surpasses Kronos.
