Ken Keen was a captain of the Planet Patrol around the year 2065. Ken rescued Nirma, daughter of the president of Mars and self-described “Amazon” from the Tree-Men of Uranus. After that, Ken took the girl as his partner on all of his peacekeeping missions throughout the solar system. It is unclear if they had more than a professional relationship, though she never wore a uniform. Ken was a competent space pilot, as good with his fists as a blaster. In his first appearance, Ken’s last name was Kurage.
