The Forgotten One traveled into space, and the Fourth Host's leader, the One Above All, teleported him into the Deviants' spacecraft. Sprite sought out the Forgotten One and equipped him with an armored costume and a spaceship. Sprite, an Eternal left behind to monitor Earth, learned of the Deviants' plan and feared that the Celestials would retaliate by wreaking havoc on Earth. While virtually all of the Eternals were meeting in the form of the Uni-Mind, the Deviants (natural enemies of the Eternals) launched a spacecraft containing a powerful energy bomb, in the hope of destroying the mother ship of the Fourth Host of the Celestials. The Forgotten One remained banished to this sector, which the other Eternals shunned, for centuries. As yet, no details of these charges have been revealed. It is said that Zuras' reason for this action was the Forgotten One's pride, and his insistence on intervening in human affairs. He also befriended King David.Įventually, he learned of his true heritage, and Zuras, leader of the Eternals, confined the Forgotten One to a sector of the Eternal city of Olympia. He befriended Aeneas and helped him conquer the Latium, laying the foundations of the Roman Empire. In 1271 BC, he cleaned the Augean Stables for Hercules on his behalf (but unknown to Hercules) by diverting two rivers through the Stables.Īpparently, like Hercules, he took Atlas's burden on his own shoulders.Īt undisclosed times, he and Hercules fought side by side on the walls at Ertatha, and bested the Demon-Dragon Zu.Īt some point, he befriended Achilles.
He was often mistaken with (and consequently known as) Samson and Hercules. Somehow unaware of his membership to the Eternals, he quested for eternal life. In ancient times, the mighty Eternal roamed the Earth aiding ordinary human beings by overthrowing tyrants and slaying dangerous beasts. Around 3000 BC, he became Gilgamesh, king of Uruk in Sumeria (modern-day Iraq).
