I've always thought The Eternals were potentially one of Kirby's most interesting creations but they've never really gotten their due in the comics.
However, I can see a real future for them on the big screen.
What makes them unique is that they are not only a race of awesomely powerful superbeings but also immortals who have lived hidden among humans for thousands of years quietly intervening in human affairs to protect the world from their enemies, the Deviants.
I can see the potential for a huge centuries-spanning sci-fi action franchise here, sort of like Highlander meets Assassin's Creed meets the X-men.
What do you guys think?
