The darkest secret of theEternalswill presently be unwrap to the world - and when it is , human beings will hate them even more than theX - Menand the intact mutant population of Earth . TheEternals are presently engaged in a warwith Professor Xavier ’s group of mutant superheroes , thanks to the belief that the mutants represent Deviants in action if not in name ; their power to uprise from death is against the natural order ( or so say the Eternals ) . ButX - military man # 13hints that the Eternals will soon become exactly whom they fight : a shunned and scorned group of non - humans .
TheA.X.E : Judgment Dayevent rage across Earthin the Marvel Universe ; the X - Men and the Eternals fight a winner - issue - all battle while the Avengers desperately seek to keep the peace between the groups .

This status quo vary inX - serviceman # 13 , written by Gerry Duggan with art by C.F. Villa , in which the X - Men prepare to round an Eternals stronghold . Jean Grey reaches out to Ikaris ( a powerful Eternal and a rebel against his own sort ) via telepathy , and the two vow to puzzle out together in ordering to end the war . But after the legal brief before the fight , Ikaris warns Jean that"There is one more thing … bolt down no Eternals . “Jean say they ’ll try their best - after all , thedeaths do n’t weigh if both sides can resurrect , but Ikaris presses the issue . “If you vote out Eternals , I will not help you . “Jean agrees and flies off to finish her mission .
Ikaris is one of the few Eternals who understands that the Machine borrows the living personnel of a random human whenever an Eternal must resurrect . Despite sour together , Ikaris does not tell Jean this secret ; human - mutant animosity is still solid , and if Jean ever told her fellow X - world , some unscrupulous member of the group would leak the workings of the Machine to the press . Humanity would turn against Eternals practically overnight , and evenCaptain America and the Avengers might choose a side(many members of the group are mankind , and destroying the Machine would be the first step to preventing human deaths ) .
Perhaps that is the endgame for theJudgment Dayevent : the Eternals will win theirbattle with the ecstasy - Men but misplace the warfor humanity ’s trust . While the Eternals are powerful , other superheroes on Earth can struggle them and even kill them . The Avengers have yet to officially choose a side in the war between theX - Menand theEternals , but the Apocalypse of their sinister secret may force their hand .
