Thena
Thena (born Azura) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Martin A. Bursten and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared as Minerva in Red Raven Comics #1 (August 1940), but was later reintroduced as Thena in The Eternals #5 (November 1976). She is a member of the Eternals, a race of superhumans in the Marvel Universe. She was also a member of Heroes for Hire.
Angelina Jolie portrays Thena in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Eternals.
Thena first appeared in Jack Kirby's The Eternals #5 (November 1976). Marvel Comics continuity was later retconned so that the character presented as the mythological god Minerva, introduced in Red Raven Comics #1 ("Mercury in the 20th Century" by artist Kirby and writer Martin A. Bursten; August 1940), was actually Thena.
The character appeared in the ongoing series The Eternals, written by Jack Kirby and later in a Thor storyline that ran from Thor #291–301.
She become one of the main characters of the Eternals (vol. 2) in 1985 written by Peter B. Gillis and penciler Sal Buscema, and in the one-shot comic called The Eternals: The Herod Factor #1 in 1991.
Thena was born in the city of Olympia in ancient Greece, and is thus one of the Eternals of Olympia. Originally named Azura, but her father Zuras had her name changed by royal decree to be similar to that of Athena and seal the treaty between the Olympian gods and the Eternals. The Eternals would act as the gods' representatives on Earth, with Thena serving as Athena's personal representative. Due to this, she has often been mistaken for Athena and Minerva.
Thena became a scholar and a warrior as she grew. She encountered Kro in Babylon 2,500 years ago. He had a chance to kill her, but did not; as the years passed, the two of them grew closer together. During the Vietnam War, Thena becomes pregnant with twin children from Kro. She implants the children inside Ms. Ritter, an infertile woman, who raises them as her own children, Donald and Deborah.
In modern times, the Eternals and Deviants reveal themselves to the human world. When Kro leads his armies in an attack on New York City, Thena opposes him to help rescue Sersi. After Kro calls a truce, he brings Thena to the Deviant city of Lemuria to try to resume his relationship with her. However, Thena is horrified by the Deviants' customs, including the mass killing of "undesirables". She leaves Lemuria with the Deviant gladiators Ransak and Karkas.
