History
Makkari was a member of the Technologist Guild. Makkari was more involved with humanity than other Eternals. He assisted Sersi in ancient Rome and Ikaris against Ghaur, performed missions for Zuras, and also befriended Quasar. He studied under Plato and watched a young Elvis Presley play guitar. In the Old West, he was active as the hero Hurricane. Due to his speed, Makkari was often confused for the Olympian god Hermes, aka Mercury.
Along with Pixie, Makkari became a member of the First Line.
Makkari along with the other Eternals rediscovered his powers and identity; however, Sprite caused him to be injured. While in this state the Dreaming Celestial contacted him.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Makkari is a member of the race of superhumans known as Eternals. He possesses superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. He can create cyclones by running in circles, and can run up walls and across water. Makkari's body eventually accumulates fatigue poisons and is susceptible to injury.
Although in most of his appearances Makkari has the typical powers of an Eternal, his obsession with speed, starting in the Quasar series, causes him to focus most of his body's Cosmic Energy into enhancing his running speed. As a result, he lost his ability to fly and many of his other powers have been weakened in the process. Makkari possesses none of the psionic powers of the average Eternal (levitation, ocular force projection, and molecular rearrangement), having purposefully readapted all his specialized cell enclaves to speed and running-related attributes. At present he can run at near light speed for extended periods, but his physical strength (while still far greater than human) has been reduced by half, and he seemingly cannot project energy or manipulate matter.
Makkari sometimes wears a protective crash helmet, though he does not truly need it. He wears synthetic stretch fabric, specially treated to resist the rigors of high velocity movement.
Makkari has great mechanical aptitude, and the ability to pilot most land and air vehicles. He has moderate experience at hand-to-hand combat; his fighting style incorporates his superhuman speed. He has finished the standard Eternal higher education, and underwent special tutoring in the applications of speed.Abilities
Makkari is a genius in creating, designing, and operating vehicles and other modes of transport.Strength level
Makkari is able to lift roughly 30 tons without using levitation.
