Sersi is the daughter of Helios and Perse, and was probably born in Olympia, Greece, some time after the Great Cataclysm that destroyed the continents of Atlantis and Lemuria.

At a young age, Sersi differed from her fellow Eternals in her desire to live amongst humans. It was during her time in ancient Mesopotamia that Sersi first met Captain America, who had traveled back in time. While Sersi still had the appearance of a child at this time, she was already thousands of years old. It was Sersi, under the name of Circe, who imprisoned the imps in Pandora’s Box in ancient times. Sersi revels in her humanity, and has lived amongst humans more than any other Eternal, save the Forgotten One. Sersi has lived in various places of historical importance, from Nero’s Rome, to Camelot, the Court of the legendary King Arthur, where she helped Merlin the magician to defeat an impostor who had usurped his position.

Sersi fought alongside Thor in the Viking Siege of Paris. She has been a dancer, actress, stage magician, hedonist, and adventurer. Sersi has the standard abilities of Earth’s Eternals, though she has focused the majority of her power into transmutational abilities and passed it off as illusion or magic over the centuries. Sersi’s psionic ability to rearrange the molecular structure of objects is far greater than that of any other Eternal; the limits on Sersi’s molecular rearrangement powers are as yet unrevealed. Sersi has a gifted intellect, and superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes.

Sersi possesses the ability to manipulate cosmic energy to augment her life force, granting her virtual invulnerability and immortality, the ability to project cosmic energy from her eyes or hands in the form of heat, light, or concussive force, and possibly other powers.
