Mark Milton (Earth-712)

## Mark Milton

**Hyperion** (*Mark Milton*) is an Eternal who is the last surviving member of a race of Eternals from Earth-712. Although the circumstances are unknown, he was adopted by the Milton family who raised him as their son.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Eternal Physiology:** Hyperion's unique physiology is common among the Eternals. His body collects cosmic radiation and operates in a process similar to nuclear fusion. As a result, he possesses various superhuman attributes.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Hyperion possesses great physical strength. At his peak, he possesses superhuman strength listed at class 100. Hyperion has been shown to almost match the strength of beings such as Gladiator.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Hyperion can run, move, and react at supersonic speeds. The exact limit of his speed is about 3,000 miles per hour.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Hyperion's highly advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a human being. He can exert himself physically at peak capacity for several day sbefore the build-up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. Hyperion is also able to withstand the rigors of space without special clothing or protection. It is unknown if he does not have to breathe or if he can merely hold his breath for greatly extended periods of time.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Hyperion's entire body is far more durable than a normal human's and is virtually impervious to all physical damage. He can withstand high caliber naval gun fire, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, powerful energy beams, and even great impact forces. During an adventure into Earth-1610, Hyperion was able to withstand being slashed by adamantium claws of that universe's Wolverine without being injured.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Hyperion's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Hyperion's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are far superior to those of the finest human athlete.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Hyperion is capable of willfully manipulating great amounts of cosmic energy for a few physical purposes, including:
	+ **Heat Generation:** Hyperion is capable of firing beams of highly intense heat from his eyes that is often referred to as 'atomic vision'. The full limit of this ability is not known, but it is known that Hyperion can generate temperatures far above 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit, as his atomic vision was able to equal Gladiator's eye beams, creating a huge explosion that temporarily incapacitated both opponents.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** If injured, Hyperion can purposely channel cosmic energy to repair the cells, tissues, organs, and bones of his body that have been damaged or regrow them if they have been destroyed. Hyperion's healing factor also decreases the rate of his aging by a very high degree. However, it is not known if he ages at an exceptionally slow rate or if his healing factor has stopped him from aging altogether. His healing factor also keeps him in optimal health and makes him immune to all diseases, infections, contaminations, corrosives, and radiations (with the exception of argonite radiation, which drains his powers and vitality).
		- **Disease Immunity**
* **Flight:** Hyperion has the ability to levitate himself and fly through the air at tremendous speeds by harnessing and manipulating anti-gravitons. At his peak, he is capable of achieving escape velocity (25,100 miles per hour). Once in space, he is capable of reaching light speed.

### Weaknesses

**Argonite:** Hyperion's powers and physical vitality are severely diminished if he is exposed to argonite radiation. Whether this radiation actually interferes with his body's ability to metabolize cosmic energy or if it simply is a psychosomatic reaction has not been fully revealed.
