Eternals are ageless and virtually immortal, and possess numerous superhuman physical and mental abilities, including the powers of flight and energy projection and manipulation.

While in the popular mind, eternal often simply means existing for an infinite, i.e., limitless, amount of time, many have used it to refer to a timeless existence altogether outside of time.
But for the infinite definition, there are parallels that give some notion of an infinity--of at least a potential infinity, or a series that begins and has not ended.
Related to the notion of eternal existence is the concept of God as Creator, as a being completely independent of "everything else" that exists because he created everything else.
