Makkari (character)

Makkari, formerly known as Hurricane and Mercury, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jack Kirby, the character first appeared as Makkari in The Eternals #5 (November 1976), but through retroactive continuity was later established as also having been Mercury in Red Raven Comics #1 (August 1940), created by Kirby and Martin Bursten. Makkari is a member of the Eternals, a race of superhumans in the Marvel Universe. He was also a member of the First Line and Monster Hunters. Lauren Ridloff portrays a deaf female version of Makkari in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in Eternals (2021). Elements of this version of Makkari were incorporated into the comics beginning in the 2021 comic series Eternals, which preceded the release of the film. In this series, Makkari is resurrected as a woman following his death in the series Avengers and is later rendered deaf after a failed attempt to contact Tiamut.
