I wonder if Eternity could work as a concave statue.•• I've wondered about that, too. Also, I've tried to picture him as some kind of shadow box unit, with the figure a literal cut out. I think the only thing that would even come close -- and would still be wrong -- would be if the figure was transparent with the stars and planets embedded. It would need to be some kind of "black glass" effect, tho, and that would probably make the inclusions hard to see! I remember realizing years ago that Eternity would work best (outside of a comic page) in a movie or TV show, where advantage could be taken of something that always bugs me when I see it otherwise -- that being the way backgrounds that are matted in outside windows and other such openings often shift (or don't) in unnatural ways when the camera moves. This is something motion tracking and CGI has virtually eliminated, but it would work well for Eternity if the actor playing him wore a blue or green body stocking with a similarly colored cape and collar. This could then be color-keyed out, and Hubble-style images superimposed. The trick would be that when the figure moved, the "universe" would stay still, so the effect would be as if the "camera" was panning side to side when Eternity moved. Not sure I explained that clearly!!
