The Eternity Knights are major characters in the 2024 hero shooter game Marvel Rivals.
They are a group of vigilantes founded by Moon Knight and Iron Man who enact lethal force against the vampires swarming New York City. They serve as opposition to the Fantastic Four and their allies.
History[]
After Dracula's vampires took over New York City, Iron Man, Moon Knight, Mister Fantastic, and Doctor Strange sought to find a way to free the city. Iron Man and Moon Knight suggested using the Montesi Formula, a spell in the Darkhold that would erase all vampires. However, Mister Fantastic and Doctor Strange knew it would kill all of the innocent people who were turned into vampires. Iron Man and Moon Knight left the brain trust and formed the Eternity Knights, and recruited several other heroes to the cause.
On the map "Eternal Knight Falls: Midtown," they attempt to stop H.E.R.B.I.E. from getting to Avengers tower and scanning the Darkhold. If the defensive team wins, H.E.R.B.I.E. will run away from Moon Knight. If the offensive team wins, he will break into the tower and access the Darkhold.

Lore[]
Don't know if you can hear me right now, Khonshu. It's never been like you to actually listen to anyone's prayers. But if, by some strange chance, this is one of the rare moments where you've decided to give a damn, you might as well know what your Moon Knight has been doing in your name.You sent me here to New York City to continue your sworn mission, keeping travelers in the night safe from peril. And that's been no easy task now that the entire city has been overrun by vampires. But luckily, I'm not the only one who's been looking to bust up Dracula's bloodsucking brood. Your knight has formed his own round table. We've been calling ourselves the "Eternity Knights." Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
It all started out when Iron Man and I came to the mutual realization that some of the other heroes we'd aligned ourselves with wouldn't be willing to get their hands — or their costumes — dirty. They're all so hung up on the idea that some of these vamps used to be innocent civilians. They aren't willing to accept the notion that every war has casualties. It's like you always taught me, vengeance comes at a steep cost. So does victory.
Stark came around to my way of thinking pretty quickly, but not everyone followed suit. The Fantastic Four and that annoying girl with all the squirrels were too squeaky clean to do what needed to be done. So, while they're up in their ivory tower trying to figure out ways to save everyone, we're down here on the streets doing the real work, saving as many lives as we can... and ending the ones that can't be saved...
Some of my crew are proud to be doing what we do so well. Wolverine and the Winter Soldier wear the ichor like it's a badge of honor. So does the new girl with the giant sword that speaks Japanese. She may be a better hunter than I am. But others don't want their reputations to be tarnished by the blood we're spilling. Good thing Stark has an endless flow of cash and a knack for design. After some recent experiments, he incorporated Chronovium into his armor specs, tapping into its ability to rewind time. The results were some epic new suits with a gothic aesthetic that hits all the right notes... and faces.
We may not be the only ones sporting new threads, though. We recently ran across a group of vamps near my hideout in Greenwich Village that were being led by a man in fancy white armor — and I could've sworn I recognized him from somewhere. Whoever he was, he looked like he was ready to give ol' Dracula a run for his money when it comes to leadership over the vampire army. And when he does, I wanna be there to watch!
In the meantime, I'll be here, keeping the streets safe and doing your dirty work for you, just like a good Fist of Khonshu does. As long as the moon stays out, your knight will be at your service... whether you're listening or not...—Midnight Missions
