Editing Kid Eternity (section)

===Character origin and powers===
The Kid was originally a nameless boy (who remembered being called only 'Kid' by his 'Gran'pa') who was killed when a [[U-boat]] sank his grandfather's fishing boat during [[World War II]]. Due to a supernatural mix-up, however, he was killed 75 years too soon.

To rectify the error, the Kid is brought back to life for another 75 years with the mission of upholding good in the world.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mitchell |first1=Kurt |title=American Comic Book Chronicles: 1940-1944 |last2=Thomas |first2=Roy |author-link2=Roy Thomas |date=2019 |publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]] |isbn=978-1605490892 |page=138}}</ref> He is given the power to summon any good historical or mythological figure or animal by saying the word "[[Eternity]]" as well as to use the same word to make himself intangible and invisible. Kid Eternity is assisted on his duties by the clerk who had made the error, Mr. Keeper. He is sometimes shown summoning fictional figures, like [[Jean Valjean]] or the [[Three Witches]].

According to ''Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes'', "with the help of people like [[Sir Launcelot]], [[Merlin]] and [[Hercules]], [Kid Eternity] fights against crime, evil, the Germans, the super-strong Mr. Puny, Master Man (Satan's personal servant, who can summon history's greatest villains), and Dr. Pain, the master of agony".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Nevins |first1=Jess |title=Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes |date=2013 |publisher=High Rock Press |isbn=978-1-61318-023-5 |pages=149–150}}</ref>
