Sprite is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in The Eternals #9, and was created by Jack Kirby. Although physically a child, Sprite is an Eternal, a member of an ancient and extremely powerful immortal race, who is commonly depicted as a mischievous trickster figure. Since 2019, Sprite has been depicted as alternatively male and female in comics due to their (then-unreleased) depiction as the latter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
