Audiences will have to wait a few more years before the MCU greets the Eternals, but that doesn't mean introductions should be delayed until then. Makkari, one of the principle members of the group created by Jack Kirby, is their fastest member, and a being who could provide any speedster with a worthy challenge.
The main difference between this particular character and other heroes with superspeed however, is that the speed actually takes its toll on Makkari over time. Fatigue is a major concern, so while he can speed around without problem most of the time, prolonged use of the power can lead to problems.
That said, when the character gets going, he really gets going. He can fly at more than three times the speed of sound, eclipsing all other Eternals in terms of speed while falling short of Marvel's other cosmic beings.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
