The Kid was working on his grandfather’s merchant marine ship. However, it was sunk by a German U-boat’s torpedo. The Kid has a near death experience at the Pearly Gates and meets the angel Mr. Keeper, who realizes he made a mistake by summoning him to heaven. Mr. Keeper tells the Kid he should have another 75 years of life and will be sent back to Earth. Mr. Keeper accompanies Kid back to Earth, and made up for his untimely death by granting Kid the ability to summon anyone from “mythology or history” with the word “Eternity.” The Kid also was able to call upon comic book characters with his powers, including his fellow Quality comics’ characters. For example, in Hit Comics #26, Blackhawk was summoned by Kid Eternity from Military Comics, to combat Dr. Pain. In addition, by uttering the same word, he could channel Mr. Keeper’s power to become invisible, and become visible again with another utterance of the same magic word. Finally, the Kid had the power of a limited gliding-style, ghost-like flight. Now known as Kid Eternity, he used his newfound powers to fight both the Nazis and criminals. His enemies include Master Man, Dr. Pain, Her Highness, Lightning Man, Mavara, Mr. Midas, Mr. Puny, Silk, and the Brute.
