Biography[]
Marriage to Phastos[]
Ben met and married the Eternal Phastos and raised a son named Jack with him. Ben was aware of the true nature of his husband, but despite this unusual circumstance lived a happy life in their house in Chicago. Both Ben and Jack were of great support to Phastos as they partly renewed his faith in humanity.
Ben talks to Phastos about leaving
When Phastos was visited by Sersi and Ikaris, Ben quickly identified them as Eternals as well. Upon learning that they wanted Phastos to join them in an attempt to stop the Emergence of Tiamut the Communicator, something which Phastos was reluctant to take part in, Ben pushed his husband into accepting, stating that he should do everything to try and save the world their son was to grow up in. Ben then kissed his husband goodbye once he accepted to go.
Ben reacting to the Emergence
In the aftermath of the Battle at the Emergence Point, Ben watched the reports on TV regarding the manifestation of Tiamut's body, asking Phastos and the other Eternals whether they were responsible for it.[1]
