Talk:Eternity (Marvel Comics)

message: The IG was said to make its wielder Eternity's equal, not his superior.  It was Thanos' "mortal drive" and Eternity's complacency that allowed Thanos to defeat and usurp Eternity's position, not superior power.  Also, while the combined cosmic cubes were able to render Eternity catatonic for a limited period of time, they did not wield power equal to or superior to Eternity -- I do not see how this information is relevant to the article as stated.  The Magus with the incomplete Infinity Guantlet (fake reality gem) was clearly more powerful than the combined cosmic cubes and he still was soundly defeated by Eternity/Infinity.

thread_title: Eternity and the IG

message: If they can't be considered "mates", then they aren't "siblings", either.  In addition, the Handbook of the Marvel Universe is currently Marvel's reference point for all contemporary titles.  The comics may set continuity, but because different stories are handled by different creative teams, inconsistencies or nonspecifics may persist.  The Handbook is used to state Marvel's present official standing with the character and, thus, take precedent over any prior story.  
As an example, Marvel's multiverse has been given new mumerical designations (ex: Earth-1123) that hold precedent.  This information did not exist previously, but has sense been established.  King Zeal 20:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They are siblings and have referred to each other as such in comic.  They have, to my knowledge, never referred to each other as "mates" in comic.  Therein lies the difference.  Handbooks are second hand accounts of what occurred in comic, that is why in comic information should always take predecedence over the Handbooks.  If writers choose to incorporate Handbook information into a comic then it becomes canon. TheBalance 20:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, you win.  Unless I can find an actual reference whereas they've been referred to as "mates" besides the Handbook, I concede.  It's just not worth going back-and-forth over.  King Zeal 20:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Mates"?

message: Found a clearer image of Eternity, added references and pulled the parts that are unfortunately just unsourced speculation and "tell the story" (eg. Silver Surfer TV series - Eternity is in it. There's no need for a blow by blow account of who does what). The blurb on who's more powerful than who was also unnecessary.

message: I just read that the One-Above-All is even more powerful then the living tribunal so should that be added when it says his power is only surpassed by the living tribunal?--RemusLupo (talk) 22:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Eternity's power is second only to the Living Tribunal. We do not count The One Above All because he is the "God" of the Marvel Universe...therefore he is NOT a cosmic entity. Cosmic entities still maintain some sort of physical presence in the Marvel Universe...The One Above All is above the MU so it is a given that any Marvel Character, from Living Tribunal all the way down to Rhino, is below TOAA in power. This is intuitive knowledge and does not need to be mentioned at all. Mobb One (talk) 06:23, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about the One-Above-All 

message: What confirmation is there that the "female universe" whom Eternity kisses in JLA/Avengers is Kismet?  Looking at Kismet's page, she doesn't look any more like Eternity's lover than She-Hulk, and the description of Kismet doesn't make her sound like the incarnation of the entire DCU.  Unless a reference can be found, I think it's safer to assume that the green female Eternity counterpart was an original entity created by George Perez specifically for this comic.  She's not named in the book, so I wouldn't assume any name for her.

message: Amazing that no one remembers this from Dr. Strange #13, back in the 1970s.  He clearly distinguishes himself and his "brother" Death, from God.MPA 03:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

message: WikiProject Comics guidelines separate a character's real-world publication history, which should include discussion of the character's creation and creators and his use by different professionals throughout the years, and the character's ficitional, in-universe history. As it stands, these separate things are mixed together. -- Tenebrae (talk) 00:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate PH & FCB needed

message: I can't find my Doctor Strange Masterworks offhand, and don't feel like pulling my old Strange Talees out of the longbox in the closet, so I can't get to it right now, but we really should fill in the early part of Eternity's bio, where he first encounters Doctor Strange etc.--Tenebrae (talk) 00:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. I'm going to do that in next day or so. It's just one of those fidgety jobs that are a little time consuming. Asgardian (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

message: IMDb is riddled with errors since it's essentially a wiki, which is why it's allowed as an EL but not as reference. Over at WP:FILMS, use of IMDb is extremely controversial. But since contributors to IMDb are supposed to give public sources, just like us, an actual public source other than IMDb is supposed to exist. If it doesn't, that means whoever added that claim to IMDb is using OR. -- Tenebrae (talk) 04:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Re: IMDb

message: Eternity is featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy film. In Guardians of the Galaxy: The Art of the Movie it is explained that Entropy, Infinity, Eternity, and Death are responsible for the creation of the Infinity Stones in the film. Also, Eternity and the other Cosmic Entities are seen in the Temple Vault on Morag and the Hologram in the Collectors Museum. Here's an image of all the cosmic entities from The Art of the Movie 2601:C:780:234:F452:E816:C14D:4ECA (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you suggesting this be added to the page? If so, I agree. Especially considering Eternity is also featured in the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I think these appearances warrant a mention in the "In other media" section. Pistongrinder (talk) 17:23, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
