History: (X-Force I#97 (fb))- Astarte is an Eternal who has served the Damocles Foundation since its inception. She and her partner, Electryon, were assigned the mission to take the quantum energy that Moonstar was able to project.

(X-Force I#93 (fb))- Astarte and Electryon approached X-Force as they were playing Frisbee. They asked Moonstar to help battle a threat that would destroy the planet and X-Force decided to come along too. They then gave each member of X-Force a communication transceiver so they could communicate. Astarte and Electryon then told to find the disturbance an island in the Pacific.

(X-Force I#93)- On the island X-Force was attacked by many strange creatures, so Astarte and Electryon helped them out. Upon reaching the disturbance Astarte and Electryon showed their true nature and took Dani’s power and left her and X-Force to die. Moonstar was able to recall her powers with the help of Ry’lor. She rescued X-Force and they attacked Astarte and Electryon. Astarte took control of the males but Meltdown broke her hold on them and Moonstar knocked her out. In the end X-Force left both Astarte and Electryon on the island.

Comments: Created by John Francis Moore, Anthony Williams, and Chris Renaud.

I hope these two will appear if we ever see more of the Eternals.
