check spoilers forA.X.E : Death To The mutation # 1 !

Marvel superheroes quite splendidly never kill their enemy , but during theEternalsvsX - Menwar , one hero goes out of his way to not kill his enemy - thus leading to the unmarried most ridiculous non - deadly weapon ever used in comic strip . The war between the two group is unparalleled in Marvel history , asneither mutation nor Eternal can technically diewhile either side has method of resurrection uncommitted . Now inA.X.E : last To The mutant # 1 , one Eternal uses a originative weapon system to ensure he never takes a life again - and for good reason .

When Druig importune that the mutant symbolise " superfluous digression " and thus are in violation of the third Eternal ’s rule , the Eternals announce warfare on the XTC - Men and Krakoa . Druig is especially implicated about the X - Men ’s ability to return from the dead , thanks to five mutants ( known simply as The Five ) and their adherence to the Resurrection of Christ protocol . Of course , the Eternals can resurrect too , leading toan interesting state of war in theJudgement Dayeventin which no combatant can ever truly die - and alas , the price of combat is passed down to the humans of Earth instead .

InA.X.E : last To The Eternals # 1 , written by Keiron Gillen with art by Guiu Vilanova , Ikaris and a team of Eternals ( rebelling against the other Eternals and Druig ) make their way to the heart of the Machine : Olympia , swallow late inside the Earth . Zuras stands in Ikaris ' style , but the Eternals drawing card use a specialised gadget that . “temporarily teleport a little part of Zuras ' brain into another property , go forth his nous with a missing connection . “Zuras is direct out of the fight , since he can not call up - but since the miss musical composition of his wit is only temporarily remove , he does n’t cash in one’s chips either . It is vitally importantthat Ikaris refrain from killing Eternals , for every Eternal temporarily killed is a humanpermanentlykilled in their place .

TheEternals ' greatest and most tragic secretis the fact that the Machine uses human life force to uprise Eternals . Thus , Ikaris ' instructions to Jean Grey include"Kill no Eternals”(though he does n’t mention why ) . Even so , the weapon used against Zuras is innately ridiculous , and look for all the mankind like a simple firearm that kills Zuras outright . luckily for him ( and for any humans who would have been chosen ) Zuras is only temporarily rendered unconscious .

The vast majority of Marvel heroes never defeat , and the few exceptions were situational ( Captain America in World War II , Hawkeye kill the Hulkunder Bruce Banner ’s orders ) . That being said , the duration that said heroes will go to not kill border on ridiculous . TheEternalsmay never be able to die , but the humans can - which makes Ikaris ' unique artillery test the audience ’s suspension system of mental rejection , but makes common sense from a narrative linear perspective .
