Fictional character biography
Phastos's history is very murky. He is a third or fourth generation Eternal who chose to remain on Earth because of his obsessive search for an unidentified item or person. He continues to serve as the master technologist for the Eternal race, and it was his genius which allowed Virako to return from apparent death. Although he despises war, Phastos chose to follow Ikaris into battle against the minions of Apocalypse.[2]
