Additional Feat of Social Influencing (Influenced Tony Stark to become Iron Man)
Enhanced Senses (Able to navigate a dimly lit cave while running, screaming, and shooting with a rifle)
Enhanced Senses (Was able to tell Tony Stark was so drunk that if he was that drunk he'd be wasted)
 

They casually just decided to now finally drop the best NWH poster

Interesting stuff I found about Eternals and the whole "why the Eternals didn't act against Thanos in IW" complain (aside from the fact that their boss is literally God and basically told them" Don't move a finger". Found it on Tv Tropes

"
Why do people think the Eternals helping against Thanos was really an option?
  • Like, non-interference clause aside, the answer to that question is "Dr. Strange & Wong either didn't know who the Eternals were, or if they did, decided not to open portals for them to join in the fight", because outside of Strange doing just that, there really wasn't an opportunity timeline wise for them to join in. Events moved too quickly for anyone but Makkari to react to in Infinity War. Are people actually asking why they didn't roll up to the Avenger's compound in the immediate aftermath of the Snap, explain who they are & say "we're here to help if you need us?" Because I feel that by the time they'd have the opportunity to do that, things would have already settled into "well this is the world now, we can't fix what happened, just manage the damage" mode that set in after killing Thanos in the Garden, and once we get to the Time Heist plot, again, events just move too quickly for the Eternals to get involved.
    • Some points to support the above opinion:
      1) Eternals are powerful, but not omniscient. None lived in either New York (where Ebony Maw abducted Dr. Strange) or Wakanda (scene of the final battle). It's possible none even knew of the Infinity Stones or anything about Thanos. They would have seen the events as an alien invasion of some kind, not a threat to half the population of the galaxy.
      2) Connected with the above; Even if they individually or collectively had decided to try and help the Avengers, the Eternals are scattered around the planet. By the time they tried to get involved in any of the events of the Infinity War, those events were already over with. As for helping with the Time Heist; how would they even know to offer their help?
      3) There's the issue of Thena's Mahd Wy'ry to consider. You wouldn't want to bring in a player who is a wild card at best, and at worst a threat to her own team."
