Ajak

As presented in Marvel Comics, Ajak is one of the Eternals — a human offshoot race created by cosmic processes in Marvel's fictional cosmology. Created by Jack Kirby and introduced in The Eternals #2 (August 1976), Ajak has intervened in human history under various identities, often acting as intermediary between humanity (and the Eternals) and the Celestials. Within some storylines the Eternals discover the purpose for which they were created, an event that precipitated self-destructive acts by some Eternals (including Ajak) followed by later resurrections in subsequent narratives.

Descriptions in the supplied sources identify Ajak as an Eternal with the general physiological traits of that race (near-immortality and superhuman body), and note that depictions vary across media: comic continuity has included a later revived Ajak in a female form, and the MCU film portrays Ajak as played by Salma Hayek. The provided materials do not give exhaustive, consistent visual detail such as exact costume or measurements.

Across sources Ajak possesses standard Eternal powers: cosmic energy manipulation, complete control of cellular makeup (granting indefinite lifespan, cellular regeneration, superhuman strength and durability), flight, teleportation and energy projection. Ajak uniquely serves as a direct communicator with nearby Celestials. A fan/reference source further ascribes quantified molecular-manipulation ability: rated a third-level adept on a five-level scale able to mentally rearrange the molecules of a mass up to 990 pounds. Narrative behaviors include acting as mediator to the Celestials, assuming cultural identities across eras, participating in Eternal group actions (e.g., God Squad), being manipulated and transformed in plotlines (including being transformed into a monster by an archaeologist and later disintegrating himself), being killed in conflicts (including by a Skrull god in one storyline), and later being revived.
