Lauren Ridloff portrays a deaf female version of Makkari in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in Eternals (2021).

Hurricane reappears as a member of the Monster Hunters in Marvel Universe #4 (September 1998),[2] in a story set in the 1950s.

[6] Makkari is featured as one of the main characters in the Marvel limited series Eternals (2006–07), written by Neil Gaiman and penciled by artist John Romita Jr. Makkari is the son of Verona and Mara, born in Olympia, the capital city of the Eternals of Earth.

[7] In the 1940s, he worked on Earth, per Zuras' request, under the aliases "Hurricane" and "Mercury" (an example of retcon, these Golden Age characters were not originally supposed to be related),[9] and fought Warlord Kro and Deviant Mutates alongside the Monster Hunters, a team he formed using his identity as National Security Agent Jake Curtiss.

[8][7] Following the disbanding of the Monster Hunters, Makkari was convinced by Pixie to join the First Line as "Major Mercury".

[10] Makkari accompanied Thena to New York City to help rescue Sersi and repulse the Deviant invasion.

He participated in a marathon to the Moon sponsored by the Runner, one of the Elders of the Universe, and nearly won; he bested Quicksilver, Captain Marvel, Whizzer, Speed Demon, Black Racer, and Super Sabre, only to lose the race in the last moments by an amnesiac, dimensions-spanning human being.

[26] He was killed when his heart was stopped by Maelstrom,[27] but returned to life,[28] as part of an agreement struck between Eternity, Death, Infinity and Oblivion.

[volume & issue needed] However, he soon found he had become so fast that he could no longer move in synch with the rest of the universe.

Makkari believes himself to be a medicine student named Mark Curry, and is the first Eternal shown in the series.

[30] Later when the Celestials' Final Host arrived on Earth, Makkari along with all the Eternals killed themselves after realizing the true purpose for which they were created.

Makkari possesses none of the psionic powers of the average Eternal (levitation, ocular force projection, and molecular rearrangement), having purposefully readapted all his specialized cell enclaves to speed and running-related attributes.

At present, he can run at near light speed for extended periods, but his physical strength (while still far greater than human) has been reduced by half, and he seemingly cannot project energy or manipulate matter.

He wears synthetic stretch fabric, specially treated to resist the rigors of high velocity movement.
