The team's purpose was to protect people from a different pack of aliens called the Deviants while staying out of human affairs entirely. In Eternals, the main characters are a team of ten immortal aliens who were dispatched to Earth by the mighty Celestials at the dawn of humanity. This heightened infighting among superheroes becomes a central point in Eternals but does so in a way that's far more weighty and grandiose than Civil War, and is ultimately more compelling because of it. The conflict escalated until the Avengers broke in half, with heroes like Falcon, Scarlet Witch and even Captain America himself becoming fugitives from the law. Tony Stark argued that the Avengers needed to be held accountable to world governments to protect the team from its own mistakes, while Steve Rogers countered that Earth's Mightiest Heroes need to operate independently and not be bogged down by bureaucracy.
