Phastos is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. He first appeared in Eternals vol. 2 #1, October (1985), and was created by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Phastos's history is very murky. He is a third of 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.
