Makkari

As an Eternal he possessed a long lifetime and had adventures throughout the centuries becoming part of human history. Under the name Thoth, he taught the Egyptians how to write. He was often confused for the Olympian god Hermes. He was present during the Trojan War (13th century BC), where he was confused for Hermes. but his affiliations and actions then are unknown. He later studied under Plato. In the Roman Empire, he was often confused with the god Mercury. In 64 A.D., Nero set fire to Rome and blamed the Christians for it, causing the Great Fire of Rome. Sersi was present and was saved by Makkari. He later served as charioteer for Persian king Darius in the 6th century AD. He was present during the reign of Vlad the Impaler. Makkari witnessed the Battle of the Alamo in 1836.

Around 1940, Makkari was assigned by Prime Eternal Zuras from the Deviant Warlord Warlord Kro's schemes. With the outbreak of World War II, Makkari once more became involved in the affairs of mortal men. During this period, Kro posed as the Greek god of death Pluto and caused chaos across the Earth. At first, Makkari posed as Mercury, possibly due to his past association with the Greek god. As Mercury, he clashed with Kro who posed as the dictator of Prussland and instigated war in Europe. Using his super speed, Mercury prevented weapons and plans from being distributed to the Prussland front, leaving soldiers to remain idle long enough to stop fighting and begin talking to each other instead of fighting. Clashing with Pluto, Mercury sent him fleeing into the night.

Makkari shortly abandoned his Mercury guise settling on being called Hurricane, and leaving mortals to believe that he was the son of the thunder god Thor while continuing to seek out "cousin Pluto", referring to Kro as a relative likely to protect the guarded secret behind the existence of the Eternals and Deviants. He operated in human society under the guise of Harry Kane.

Relocating to Coast City, Hurricane investigated a series of murders perpetuated by mobster Piggy Perroni, finding that he was employed by a "Paul Sayden", one of Kro's many disguises. Shortly after, after the outbreak of a "Green Plague" in the Matto Grasso region of Brazil, Hurricane -suspecting Kro's involvement- accompanied scientists Ruth Holden and Ralph Rand to try and cure the disease. There, Hurricane learned the disease was provided to the Jivaro headhunters by Pluto. Hurricane rescued the scientists from the headhunters who then discovered a cure for the disease. Tracking "Pluto" to Gratton Series, Hurricane foiled his plot of providing mobster Scarface Rispoli with "death boxes" that caused fatal subway crashes so they could steal the possessions of the dead. Defeating Kro in a one-on-one fight, Hurricane sent the Deviant into hiding once again. However, Makkari decided to continue operating as Hurricane for a time still.

As Hurricane he stopped the descendants of natives trained by pirate John Crutherss, foiled a counterfeiting plot by businessmen plotting to force a second stock market crash in order to purchase property cheaply, and exposed the Menace murder of boarding house members to try to find a lost family fortune. In the summer of 1941, Hurricane lent his speed to help those affected by a massive tidal wave created by the Sub-Mariner that struck New York.

The biggest change to Makkari's life during this period came when he saved unassuming cigar store salesman Solidus Scriggles from a protection racket. Solidus (nicknamed "Speedy" by Makkari) joined Makkari as his sidekick. During his time with Speedy, there was no evidence that he revealed his true nature to Speedy, likely leaving him to believe that Hurricane was the son of Thor.

Operating independently as Hurricane for the last time, Makkari exposed Midvale newspaper owner John Smithers as the mob leader. With Speedy at his side, he exposed millionaire Lionel van Devanter for attempting to force Star Construction out of business so his own construction company could flourish. In his last recorded adventure Makkari and Speedy protected heiress Florence Grey from mobsters sent to assassinate her by her uncle Lew Grey.

In 1943, Makkari was among a number of heroes who were slain by the Cosmic Cube wielding Red Skull and impaled on a massive wall. However, the Cube was recovered by Private Paul Anselm who resurrected all the slain heroes who aided the combined efforts of the Invaders and the time displaced New Avengers and Mighty Avengers. When the Skull was defeated the heroes used the Cube to wipe out Makkari's memories of the event to preserve history.

In 1956, he joined the Explorer's Club and formed a team with Ulysses Bloodstone and Doctor Druid called the Monster Hunters. One of their first adventures as a team was to take down Gorgilla who was sent to New York City by the Deviant Kro. They tracked the creature throughout the city and tried to capture him at Yankee Stadium. They failed and the trial lead them to the Statue of Liberty and Doctor Druid used his powers to calm the best so they could return it to the wild. They traveled to Midnight Mountain to return the creature but they was attacked by the Lizard Men. But with the help of Gorgilla they were able to fight them off. Makkari was kidnapped in the fight. They traveled deep beneath the Earth to find the layer of Kro. They freed their friend but Kro escaped when they was set upon by Kro's mutates allowing him time to escape.

In 1958, Makkari and the Monster Hunters traveled to a Long Island research center, where they meet the newly formed team called the First Line. They was then attacked by a series of mutated humans who had been turned into monster by a Skrull device. Makkari on the insistence of his old friend Pixie joined the First Line under the new name "Major Mercury."

In the 1960's he went by the alias "Frank Harper". He was on vacation on the island of Napuka when a volcano erupted and a creature arose from within it, the "Molten Man-Thing" as it was later named by the press. It was covered in lava so it's true form was never revealed. He lured it into a wind tunnel at a local airbase. The noise and wind scared the beast to return back to it's subterranean home.

When the Fourth Host of Celestials arrived on Earth, Sersi alerted Makkari to the Deviants' attack on New York City shortly before being captured herself. With Zuras' blessing, Makkari and Thena helped defend the city against the attackers. He was amongst the group who revealed the races' existence to Professor Samuel Holden.

As the Fourth Host's verdict drew near, Makkari and the Eternals joined forces with the Mighty Thor in planning to oppose Arishem's judgment. They were opposed by the Forgotten One and the united Asgardian and Olympian Gods, due to an oath sworn back during the Third Host. Makkari battled his counterpart Mercury during the melee.

Makkari and the Eternals using their combined powers create a foundation for Black Bolt to hide the city of Attilan in a hidden trench located in the Himalayas, but they were kidnapped by Kro and the Deviants and held in suspended animation until they were saved by Iron Man who stumbled on to the city in the Himalayas.

When the Eternals of Earth chose to leave the planet and explore space, Makkari was one of a small band who remained behind. He became chief administrator of Olympia in the absence of Domo. Makkari joined Ikaris and his allies in trying to stop Warlord Kro from raiding the Pyramid of the Winds. They were unsuccessful in trying to stop the Priest-Lord Ghaur from acquiring the essence of the Dreaming Celestial, and thus assuming the power of a Celestial himself. Makkari and the Eternals joined forces with the West Coast Avengers to stop Ghaur from freeing the true Dreaming Celestial.

Makkari spent some time in deep meditation training to transfer more of his cosmic power into pure speed, making him the fastest Eternal alive. He became best friends with the Cosmic Avenger Quasar after helping rescued his Eternal teacher, Master Elo from the Deviant city of Lemuria. Makkari was chosen among the fastest superhumans on Earth to participate in a race held by the Elder of the Universe known as the Runner. He came in a close second, after the last minute arrival of a strange visitor whose name was "Buried Alien", or something like that.

After Operation: Galactic Storm, Quasar was getting ready to leave the Earth so he could survey and possibly aid the remaining survivors of the Kree homeworld of Hala and Makkari asked if he could come along, craving for adventure. While out in space, Makkari met the order of Mourners and came across a planet where the inhabitants were dedicated to ultimate speed. He remained behind to learn their secrets of speed to improve his abilities further. He later re-qualified to with the Runner again on another alien world, and actually beat the Elder this time.

Makkari along with the other Eternals was made to believe he was human for a short time, during which he was living in New York City as a medical student before rediscovered his powers and identity. Sprite, who had been behind the Eternals amnesia due to his wish to live a human live and grow up, caused his body to shut down by tricking him into attempting to harm the Dreaming Celestial, something that no Eternal can do. While he was in this state the Dreaming Celestial contacted him and Deviants used him to wake the Celestial who proclaimed Makkari as its prophet, bringing him out of his coma to tell the other Eternals, as well as the Humans and Deviants, that it was awake and monitoring them in preparation for its judgement. Soon after this he was able to use his position as 'Skadrach' to get an army of Deviants to stand down before joining Ikaris in finding and reawakening the other ninety Eternals.

When Hercules arrived to investigate the being he was mistaken for Gilgamesh due to a mistranslation made by Makkari who arrived just in time to stop the fight.

Later, When the countless bodies of Celestials rained down on the Earth to herald the arrival of the Dark Celestials, the Eternals learned a dark truth that drove them mad: that the true purpose of their kind was to cultivate humankind, since the First Host of Celestials allowed humanity to thrive because they saw in their genetic makeup the potential to act as antibodies against the Horde. In their madness, the Eternals either turned against each other or committed suicide, including Makkari.

He was later resurrected along with his fellows Eternals.
