You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ereshkigal''' is the name of two fictional characters appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]].

==Goddess==
'''Ereshkigel''', a Babylonian goddess, first appeared in ''[[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]]'' Annual #10, in 1981. She was part of a group of Death gods trying to increase their power, but she was absorbed along with the others by [[Atum (comics)|Demogorge]], the God-Eater. Ereshkigal and the other gods were freed by Thor, and have not made any similar attempts. She was portrayed as a pale-skinned woman with batlike wings. She is the fictional counterpart to the Mesopotamian goddess [[Ereshkigal]].

==Deviant==
===Publication history===
The second Ereshkigal is a member of the [[Marvel Universe]]'s [[Deviant (comics)|Deviant]] race, first appearing in ''Thor'' #284 (June 1979), and was created by [[Roy Thomas]] and [[John Buscema]]. The character subsequently appears in ''Quasar'' #30 (Jan. 1992), and #35-50 (June 1992-Sept. 1993).

Ereshkigal received an entry in ''All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z'' #4 (2006).

===Fictional character biography===
She is a shapeshifter, able to take human form, or a winged form that resembles Marvel's version of the goddess whose name she assumed. She claims to be millennia old and like many Deviants has greater strength, stamina and durability than a human. She seems to have impersonated the goddess Ereshkigel throughout history. Her sister Dragona is a member of the [[Delta Network]] of [[Warlord Kro]].

Ereshkigel was assigned to investigate the City of the Space Gods, home of the [[Celestials (comics)|Celestials]], by Brother Tode, leader of the Deviants. She assumed a human appearance and boarded an airplane headed for the [[Andes mountains]]. The plane was captured by the Celestials and brought into their hidden city for examination. However, another passenger on that plane was Don Blake, the secret identity of Thor, and another was [[Ajak]] of the [[Eternals (comics)|Eternals]]. Thor was able to easily overcome Ereshkigal and turned her over to Ajak.

Later, she again took a human identity as H.D. Steckley (an alias formerly used by [[Moondragon]]), and schemed to get Quasar's power-bands.<ref>''[[Quasar (comics)|Quasar]]'' #30</ref> When she discovered the existence of an even more powerful artifact, the [[Star Brand]], she attempted to acquire it. She befriended Quasar's secretary, Kayla Ballantine, who possessed the Brand, even becoming her roommate. When Kayla was recruited by an alien world to defend them from the [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/starblst.htm Starblasters], "H.D." went with her and watched Kayla easily destroy a fleet of warships. They then returned to Earth.

The power of the Star Brand attracted the attention of [[Kismet (Marvel Comics)|Kismet]], whom Kayla fought and seriously injured. Kayla, distraught, wished she didn't have the power any more, and "H.D." offered to take it. After the power was transferred, she then revealed her true self to a dismayed Kayla.

Ereshkigel flew to the pandimensional portal called the Nexus of Realities, easily defeating its guardian, the [[Man-Thing]]. She summoned the pantheon of powerful beings known as the Congress of Realities, and offered to overthrow the current guardians of the [[Multiverse]] and give free rein to the Congress. A few chose to follow her, and she destroyed the rest with her near-infinite power.

The cosmic guardian known as the [[Living Tribunal]] challenged Ereshkigel to a contest of champions, winner take all. Quasar and the [[Silver Surfer]] were chosen as champions; both were told the stakes involved, but not which side they represented. However, by observing the effects of their fight on the cosmic beings known as [[Master Order]] and [[Lord Chaos (Marvel Comics)|Lord Chaos]], Quasar was able to determine that he represented the side of Chaos and allowed himself to lose. Defeated, Ereshkigal committed suicide, and the Living Tribunal took possession of the Star Brand.<ref>''Quasar'' #50 (1993). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Much later, Ereshkigal was resurrected and captured an Asgardian doomsday  artifact: the Unbiding stone. Meanwhile, the Deviants' males were rendered sterile by a plague and Ereshkigal took advantage of the chaos to have a power contest with Priestlord [[Ghaur]], offering the Deviants the great power of the Unbiding stone. Ghaur won the contest when he promised the deviants the return of their fertility with the help of the kidnapped eternal [[Phastos]]. The Asgardian god Thor rescued Phastos and battled Ghaur and Ereshkigal. When the Unbiding stone was destroyed, Ghaur and Erishkigal disappeared and [[Kro (comics)|Kro]]  was left leading the Deviants.<ref>''Thor: The Deviants Saga'' #1-4 (2012). Marvel Comics.</ref>
