comics Respect Makkari (Marvel)
Makkari is a member of the Eternals, an immortal offshoot of humanity created by the Celestials nearly a million years ago. Learning to run before he could walk Makkari always had a natural affinity for speed, soon becoming the fastest of all Eternals.
Makkari has always been involved in human affairs. He taught writing to the Egyptians, was present for the Alamo and, most importantly, became a superhero during World War II. Since then Makkari and the Eternals have become, willingly or not, heavily involved in human history. Their activities with the Deviants and Avengers eventually culminating in the awakening of Tiamut the Celestial and Makkari becoming Tiamut's emissary on Earth.
Respect Makkari the Eternal
Makkari's speed has varied considerably throughout the years. During his stint as Mercury/Hurricane he seems to be lightspeed, yet he slows down considerably in the modern era. This is likely because Mercury/Hurricane and Makkari weren't even the same person until a retcon much later on.
Some point before he meats Quasar Makkari trained with Master Elo, sacrificing most of his powers as an Eternal to refocus them into speed alone. After this point Makkari trains his speed further with the Grosgumbeekians, becoming faster than even the Runner. Makkari does not keep this speed for long though, as Sprite warps reality a few appearances later to make the Eternals mortal again. And soon after that Makkari becomes servant of Tiamut, who restores his Eternal powers and seems to put his speed around square one again. Because of this this RT will be divided up into several sections, those being:
Mercury/Hurricane

Looks pretty thorough, man. Mad respect.
