Deviants - Definition and Overview

For the musical group, see: The Deviants (band).

The Deviants is a fictional race of superhumans in the Marvel Comics' universe. They are an offshot of humanity created on Earth by the alien Celestials, and wage war against their counterparts, the Eternals. While the Eternals possess godlike power and are generally physcally beautiful, the Deviants are hideous (by human standards), with each member of their race possessing some random mutation. The Deviants were created by Jack Kirby in The Eternals #1 (1976).

Notable Deviants include Kro, Ghaur, Karkas and The Reject.
