Master Man was a foe of Kid Eternity who was given powers that rival the Kid’s own by a shadowy figure resembling the Devil. When Master Man shouted “Stygia,” he could summon any evil person from fiction or history, who appear and disappear in a burst of flames. He tried to use his powers to start a prison break, but failed thanks to Kid Eternity’s interference. After his master reprimanded him, Master Man grabbed Kid Eternity while Mr. Keeper was distracted, and attempted to torture him. Kid Eternity tricked the villain and used his magic word “Eternity” to summon help. Master Man failed to destroy the Kid and was punished by the Devil for his failure. Master Man was swallowed up by the ground and engulfed in a pit of flames.
