History
Makkari is a member of Olympia's Technologists' Guild. Despite being taught his philosophy by Plato, Makkari is not a great genius, and lacks patience. His love of speed and motion, though having led to some of the swiftest vehicles the Eternals have, has also made Makkari overly impulsive, and many Eternals do not take him seriously. He sometimes wears a protective crash helmet, though he does not truly need it.
Makkari has involved himself in Earth's affairs more often than most Eternals. When Sersi was present in Rome during "Nero's big bonfire", he went there to rescue her. He once spent some time as the charioteer of Darius, the governor of Persia from 548-485 A.D. He has also claimed to have witnessed some of earth's greatest horrors- including the Trojan War, the reign of the Romanian Vlad the Impaler, and the Alamo. In the 1940s, Zuras assigned Makkari to earth, and under the alias "Hurricane", as well as many others, he fought Kro, and later, Mutates, often alongside the Monster Hunters. Later on, he met the young rocker Elvis Presley, and taught him a few tricks with the guitar.
Makkari was among the Eternals who introduced themselves to the students at City College during the 4th Host. Makkari also fought Hermes during this time, a god he has often been mistaken for. Following the departure of most of the Eternals, Makkari assumed Domo's role as chief technologist, but was not entirely successful in this pursuit. He accompanied Ikaris in his battles against the Deviants at this time, and participated in the defeat of Ghaur. Still wishing to gain more speed, Makkari spent 2 years meditating with Master Elo, who taught him how to open up his ability to run, while decreasing many of his other abilities. After Master Elo was captured by the Deviants, Makkari got the aid of Quasar in rescuing him, and the two became friends for a long time. During this period, Makkari worked in Quasar's office under the alias "Mike Khary" and shared an apartment with Quasar. After being separated from Quasar during a mission in space, Makkari learnt of an animal-like race on the planet Grosgumbeek, and gained more insight into speed. With this insight, he participated in a race against the Runner, one of the Elders of the Universe, and won. However, he found that the new technique was flawed- he had become so fast that he could no longer move in synch with the rest of the universe for hours at a time. He ultimately gave up racing, and spent a time journeying through space with another runner, Fastforward. When Maelstrom briefly returned to life, he attempted to seize more power by draining the kinetic energy from Makkari, even though he was light-years away, but the Eternals on earth defeated him.
