Fictional character biography

Druig is the son of Valkin and cousin to Ikaris.[1] In modern times, Druig serves as an agent of the KGB in Russia and finds that he enjoys torturing people. Druig plans to kill Ziran the Tester, but Ikaris disintegrates Druig before he can attack.[2]

Eternals (2006)

Druig is resurrected in the form of a human and becomes deputy Prime Minister of Vorozheika (a former territory of the USSR) under the alias Ivan Druig. Druig hires Sersi to organize a party at the Vorozheikan embassy, then stages an attack on the party. However, Druig's troops betray him, causing him to lose control of the situation.[3] Around the same time, Druig's proximity to Makkari and Thena causes his powers to reactivate.

Druig retakes control of Vorozheika and captures everyone involved in the riot.[4] He then leaves to find the other Eternals and help them prevent the Dreaming Celestial from destroying Earth.[5]

Powers and abilities

Druig possesses the conventional abilities of an Eternal. He can manipulate all forms of matter and energy, including the atoms of his own body, teleport, control the minds of others, project energy from his body (usually from the hands or eyes), and manipulate gravity to fly.
