Furious with Thena, Ikaris successfully challenged her to a fight and usurped her to become the new leader of the Olympian Eternals. Eternals as a species possess a wide range of superhuman powers in the comics, which encompasses super strength, flight, the ability to shoot cosmic blasts out of his hands and eyes, telepathy, and transmutation. Some Eternals, however, stand out from the rest on account of having additional powers or a better version of a specific ability.
Sersi, for instance, outclasses them all when it comes to manipulating matter, and Makkari has super speed, which is something that no other Eternal has in the Marvel Universe. He's also arguably the second strongest Eternal behind Gilgamesh. But even though he had those powers in the comics, Ikaris was never considered to be a Man of Steel clone. In classic comics, characters like Gilgamesh and Sersi would also fly around in battle, shooting cosmic eye rays at their opponents.
Every Eternal was capable of these feats before the MCU made significant changes to the Eternals' powers in an effort to establish that each character is inherently different. Plus, most of the comparisons to the DC Comics character were attributed to Hyperion, who was a much more obvious Superman caricature in the s and s.
By limiting its Superman-esque abilities to Ikaris, Eternals is drawing more attention to the similarities between them than the comics ever did. He may not be faster than a speeding bullet, but his other powers will go a long way toward giving the audiences the feel that going forward, the MCU has its own Big Blue Boy Scout out there keeping the Earth safe. Sersi wishes to defy the Eternals' creators, the Celestials, in order to save Earth from complete destruction as a result of the Celestials' plans.
Though not everyone is enthusiastic about the idea, it's her former lover Ikaris Richard Madden who takes a stand by opposing Sersi and the rest of the Eternals so that the Celestials' goals can come to fruition. A devastating flashback reveals Ikaris killed Ajak out of unwavering loyalty to the Celestials, as she too wanted to disrupt their plans. It was quite a twist for audiences to process, and according to co-writers Ryan and Kaz Firpo, it was always a part of Eternals ' story.
Despite being such a shocking development, it turns out the twist was always included in the story. They said:. Ryan Firpo: We had that idea early on. That was an idea that came early on that was in tandem with the love relationship between Sersi and Ikaris and the other elements of that triangle. And then all leading up to the very end. All of those things were part of the early, early pitch stages. Kaz Firpo: The big opportunity to have those twists and turns is something from the beginning we were interested in just as storytellers.
Ikaris and Margo Damian had by now fallen in love. When the Eternal race decided to leave Earth after the departure of the Celestials' Fourth Host, the Eternals' collective consciousness in the form of the Uni-Mind decreed that certain Eternals who were particularly involved with Earthly matters, including Ikaris, remain behind. Ikaris became the Prime Eternal, after successfully challenging Thena. Ikaris alongside the Eternals were attacked by the High Evolutionary when he came to study the DNA of the powerful offshoots of humanity.
When Sersi became ill with Mahd Wy'ry , an incurable degenerative "disease" of the Eternals, they attempted to bring her back to Olympia to perform the " Rite of Cleansing ", but she refused as it was a process in which the inflicted is killed. She instead asked him to perform the " Gann Josin " between her and her lover the Black Knight. Ikaris was not best pleased but agreed and the two was soul bonded in matrimony.
Ikaris and the Eternals joined the battle against Thanos when he tried to become one with the Universe. Ikaris and his fellow Eternals were victims of memory wipe caused by Sprite. She caused them all to forget their true identities. Believing himself to be "Ike Harris" he was captured Deviants; Morjak and Gelt who vaporized his body but he survived and appeared beneath Olympia. This caused him to regain his memory and powers and began his mission to recover all the Eternals.
He teamed up with Makkari in hope of reawakening the lost the ninety others. Facing the Red Hulk. Ikaris was observing the Red Hulk taking out a Hydra-like sea creature on the island of Kavai. Sersi relayed the battle to Ikaris who presented this information to Olympia. They began to debate on how to handle humanity, they wondered if they should leave them be, defend them, or rule over them. While some think they should form the Uni-Mind, Thena points out that it only leads to the Eternals leaving for the stars.
The conversation was interrupted by Sersi's scream and Ikaris travelled to the island to help. It was revealed that Red Hulk was about to attack Sersi but she explained she was only there to prove to the Eternals humanity can be heroic. He stood down but it was too late and Ikaris attacked and knocked into the nearby volcano. Machine Man tried to help but he was no match for the Eternal.
Red Hulk recovered and threw a massive rock at Ikaris. During the fight the Red Hulk was forced to stop to divert the magma flow from the volcano to save the people of the island.
Sersi convinced him that it was all a big misunderstanding. They travelled back to Olympia and Zuras was unimpressed with the humans champions and time would still tell on how they will deal with the humans. Ikaris was kidnapped by Tanalth and used him as a weapon against the Invaders who came to Hala in order to rescue Namor and stop the Kree from using the Gods' Whisperer. When the countless bodies of Celestials rained down on the Earth to herald the arrival of the Dark Celestials , the Eternals learned a dark truth that drove them mad: that the true purpose of their kind was to cultivate humankind, since the First Host of Celestials allowed humanity to thrive because they saw in their genetic makeup the potential to act as antibodies against the Horde.
In their madness, the Eternals either turned against each other or committed suicide, including Ikaris. Ikaris told the pair how he and fellow Eternals lost their minds because their true purpose was hidden. After the mass suicidal event causing all the Eternals die after learning the truth of their being, they were all rebirthed at once due to their eternal both species and longevity-wise nature.
Ikaris being the last Eternal to die during the Dark Celestials rein, he was the last to be resurrected. Tasked by Zuras with freeing Sprite now reborn as a young woman , he followed her to New York City traveling around Times Square , and subduing Deviants. When they both came back from their trip to New York City, they were both suspected in the freshly murdered Zuras. Ikaris and Sprite tracked the murderer's trail to the ruined city of Titanos where they encountered Zuras' apparent murderer, the Mad Titan Thanos.
Ikaris eagerly battled Thanos, but Thanos proved too much. So, Sprite created an illusion of Ikaris to distract Thanos while she and Ikaris escaped.
The pair returned to Olympia and told their fellow Eternals of Thanos' return.
