So in the movies, in Eternals, it turns out that the Earth is a giant egg for a cosmic race called the Celestials.
The Eternals are there to protect the egg until it hatches (killing everyone on Earth) and the Deviants are their enemies trying to… ? Unclear.
At the end of the film, the Eternals realize that the hatching Celestial will kill everyone and they use their powers to turn it into this giant mineral statue emerging in the Indian ocean.
Roll forward to Captain America: Brand New Day, it’s revealed that this statue can be mined for a new mineral called “Adamantium” and the US is racing with China to lay claims for the mineral wealth.
Wakanda has total control over Vibranium, so whoever controlls Adamantium will gain an edge.
In the COMICS, Adamantium first appeared in Avengers #66 as the metal making up the body of Ultron. It was created in an attempt to duplicate the special properties of Captain America’s shield.
Cap’s shield is an alloy of Vibranium and an unnamed experimental steel.
I don’t remember that in Eternals.
It was the big plot point in Captain America: New World Order.
Can you tell me about it? Don’t really feel like paying for one comic to find out.
Well, it’s in the movies, not the comics. 😉
