Description
Oh good Grief, I'm a Nerd. But, It's Nerd Pride day, so maybe I can get away with it. This is Kid Eternity, a comic book character who was first created during the 40's, remade in the 90's, and used by DC comics as a Teen Titan. The story goes that a little boy was out on a boat with his Gran'pa, when a Nazi U-boat blew them to smithereens. When he got to Heaven's gates, he was told that due to a mix-up in heaven, he'd died 75 years too early. To make up for this, they brought him back to life and gave him the power to summon the dead, all he had to do was shout 'Eternity'. The character's gone through one or two remakes over the years, and is now part of the newest Teen Titans. Rather, he was, but something bad happened and- I could go on, but this rant's long enough. Kid's one of my favorites and this was a tough project. Never mind his hair, getting the glasses just right nearly did me in! I hope all you KE fans enjoy it. All nine of you.
By the by, does anyone know where Kid is now?

Very nice! This kind of inspired me to draw Chibi Kid Eternity, which I still must upload!

Spoiler alert.
He was killed by the Calculator. :/

In Batgirl, right? Yeah, I saw what happened and boy, was I ever miffed. I kept hoping someone would rescue him, though.

No, the Titans were much too busy being cool and stuff to notice that one of their teammates had vanished.
But no hard feelings or anything.

I have hard feelings. They barely paid any attention to him when he was on the team, and after NOT bothering to inform there was a fight, they wonder why he didn't show up for a funeral he didn't even know about?! *sulks* Yeah, that might make for an awkward reunion.
"Omg Kid, where've you been for the last 10 issues?"
"Oh, I was kidnapped by a maniac who tortured me until I collasped then bludgeoned me to death in his basement."
"Really? Sorry, we were too busy rescuing Raven for the billionth time to notice. So, you didn't just quit for no reason?"
"What? Why would I? And how could you not notice I was gone, we carpooled!"
"....We did?"
"I think I was safer with the Lords of Chaos."

XD Thank you for having the exact same thoughts on it! Also, kingsmythe
s imagined conversation on this thread [link] embodies pretty much all my views as well.
And yeah, how sad was that? They make him summon all their dead friends, and then banish him to the backseat.
As I said on that thread, he'll be back as soon as they need him and it'll be a horribly awkward reuinion.
I swear I sent this in an outraged text to my friend, which is why it was all the more awesome when you were on that exact same page:
"Man, we sure could use Kid Eternity right no--woah! Kit! I thought you were dead!"
"Oh, you mean because of that time last year when I was kidnapped? And you didn't bother to look for or even worry about me? Or, you know, the fact that your teammate was gone? And then I was beaten to death? Yeah, I can see why you'd think that."
"...So yeah, we need your help."

XD Mine was a message to my friend reading "WHAT THE F*** THEY KILLED OFF KID ETERNITY FOR LIKE THE EIGHTH TIME" and then mumbling curses aimed towards DC. Blame Didio, that's my policy.Who is already on my black list for what he's done to The Outsiders. But anyway.
Kit just can't catch a break. I mean, he even has this cool costume now, and still, nobody likes him. Btw, do you know if is his name currently Kit, or is he back to being nameless?
Heck yeah! 8D B-listers are always the best.

I'm not entirely fond of Dan Didio either. May that bullmalarky Dead-means-dead Policy be overthrown. I can't believe Red Devil's dead too.
I know, the only one who was really nice to Kid was Cassie, and she just wrote him off as a no-show. How can you not like him, for crying out loud, he bought President Lincoln a milkshake!
I dunno, Cassie called him Kit once or twice, and I just assumed it was his nickname. I looked it up, and his current civilian name is Christopher Freeman.
B-list rules!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right? I mean, is it just a rule to kill off the only good best characters? I mean, lord help us if anything ever happens to the boring cliche that is Wondergirl, but Eddie? Funny, impulsive, lovable, surprisingly deep Eddie? What is the logic there?
XD Yeah, rereading she was so friendly. And then just...never mentioned him again. And okay maybe Eternity can be a little weird in social situations BUT STILL that's no excuse.
Aha, wikipedia says Christopher "Kit" Freeman. Now it makes sense.
Yes! B-listers might have the smaller fandoms, but we're devoted! I'd take, say, Creeper, Kid Eternity, or Warlock over Spiderman any day.

Lordy, Red Devil's death is my second biggest rant. I feel sorry for Blue Beetle. His best friend got blown up and now he's on the other side of the planet chasing after stupid Max Lord, with nary a friend to pat him on the back. If they resurected Superboy, WHY CAN'T THEY BRING EDDIE BACK?! Ahem...
You know, you'd think she'd have a little more faith in Kid Eternity's commitment to the team. Or at least try to call him to see what was wrong, but noooo, she HAS to be the Wangsting, weepy girl of the Team. Darn it, Cassie, why must the writers brainwash you so?! So what if Kid's not good at making friends, he was trapped in Hell for 30 years! I'd be his friend, though.
W00t! B-list fangirls (and guys) UNITE!

Well, since he's not a main character that is on the front page of everything (coughsuperboycough) it means nobody likes him and ever wants him back. Y'know.
>:[
Blue Beetle will be okay, at least. He's gonna be in a movie, so he's safe.
I mean, I'm not against killing characters. Usually it doesn't stick (do you really think Nightcrawler will stay dead for long?), so in a few years everyone's happy again. But it's just pointless drama at the time, so they kill off somebody with a smaller fanbase (Kid Eternity, Red Devil). It's just stupid. And it gives Cassie an excuse to be angsty.
Right? I mean, is she so petty that she wouldn't just try his cell? It takes two seconds. Then if he really was a jerk and just left, you get the added bonus of yelling at him. I just can't believe that he wasn't even mentioned, not even in narrative. I'm thinking the writers just forgot.
And as for Cassie, just...ugh. Cassie and Ravager are two characters I would be happy to see killed. Angst and 'hot' girls is apparently all the character depth needed at DC. The other girls are okay. I even like Miss Martian. Aquagirl and Bombshell aren't bad.
Yes, so would I! And he'd summon Red Devil and we'd all hang out and braid each other's hair and be happy together. And when we got to be good enough friends he'd even let me try on his sunglasses.

I know. :Mad: It's nothing against Conner, I just can't help but be bitter that HE gets a second chance, but THEY don't. Life's unfair that way.
NOOOO! No more needless death! No more pointless angst! I can't take it anymore! If they kill of Static, I swear to all things holy, I will march down to DC and give them a piece of my mind. FEAR MY POWERS OF ANGRY RANTING!
I like Miss Martian too, and you're right, there's a stunning lack of depth with these people.
That...sounds like so much fun. Can I hang out with you guys too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HOLY CRAP I NEVER ANSWERED THIS D8
As for Connor, he's...eh. Never cared one way or the other. I never really feel for the 'main' characters. It's the little gems you find in the background (like Kid Devil) that I end up loving. Since they don't have to angst all the time like Cassie or friggin' Ravager, they actually get to develop character. <3
Urgh, I dropped Teen Titans during the Great Raven Search (Part 728) as I call it. I dropped it in favor of Sweet Tooth, which was a fantastic idea and suggest you check out. Issue 13 is coming out this month, so you can catch up. You read anything besides TT?
8D Of course! I hope you have short hair too, because then the boys can feel awkward when they realize that they have the longest hair.

"I never really feel for the 'main' characters. It's the little gems you find in the background (like Kid Devil) that I end up loving." *dies* Oh...SO MUCH YES! It's actually due to his bit part in TT I started reading Kid's miniseries.
-Flashback-
*After reading issue 74* WHAT THE F#$#, THAT JERK KIDNAPPED THE SUNGLASSES GUY! No fair, I wanna know more about him...That's it, I'm going on Google!
-end flashback- And thus, another fan was born.
"the great Raven serch, part 728" I love it! They should just give her a tracking bracelet and be done with it.

LOL THAT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME, AND IS EXACTLY HOW I MET KID ETERNITY. XD I mean, I knew his name and such, but I couldn't tell you anything about him...then it was love at first sight and he could do no wrong. <3 (Except for that sequined jacket thing he was wearing in the city. That was just ugly.)
Personally, I had rather high hopes for ponytails. I mean, hair that long has to get in the way during fights, right? It had to happen at some point.
Except now they're both dea---WOAH
I GET IT

I know, right? I couldn't help but wuv him. I rechecked the comics, though, and that's a decidedly unsequined jacket, but Kid, you need some going out clothes. That jacket just proves he doesn't have a life. :rimshot:
Ponytails would be good for fighting crime, but they might not be "manly" enough.
Kid Eternity: I said no, dammit.
Me: Please? I want to see what kind of conditioner you use in the afterlife.
Kid:...You know, I think somebody in the afterlife warned me about you two.
Me: Well, they lied! I'm completly sane, I swear! Besides, who'd you rather be with, us, or the people that left you with Mr. Numberscomplex?
Kid: Fine, I'll go get Eddie.
OMAGAWSH, they really do! It must be a conspiracy! Dan Didio hates longhaired B-listers!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Well, hey, if you can rock a sequined jacket more power to you, but I'm rather relieved to know I was wrong about that.
That jacket also proves that he apparently only owns one article of clothing besides his costume. XD And I mean, he's had that since the 16-issue series, which was very trippy btw. But yeah, Kid. Go shopping. Get actual clothes.
XD YES.
ALSO OMG
Did you see the ads for the DC contest, to get drawn into a comic? 8DDDDDD
"Dear Mr. Didio, I think I'd like to be drawn in with Kid Eterntiy and Kid Devil. On Earth. So. You know. They're alive. And acknowledged."

Yeeeaaah, I've wondered about Kid's wardrobe. He mentioned somewhere that he doesn't own anything, so what does he do, exactly? Does he wash it everyday and put it on again? Maybe it's time to invest in some spare costumes.
I'm on issue 11 of that series, and I love it! Yeah, it is kind of trippy, but still fun. My favorite issue was the one with Jung and Frued arguing.
Yeah, I saw them. There's probably no way the person that wins will request that, but hey, we can dream.
Oh, Mr. Didio, WHY do you hate the cool characters so much?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Well, he doesn't sleep, right? I guess he just does his laundry at night while everyone's asleep. And. Um. Wears a towel or something. Yes, that non-sequined jacket and a towel.
He and Miss Martian ought to go shopping together.
"A delicious-looking mushroom" XD
Yeah, I agree, I doubt you can make requests, but STILL. SO AWESOME. Nonetheless, I did draw a page of shenanigans that I would request if I won. I'll see if I can scan it for you. XD
Who knows.

Oh, I can just picture her picking out white turtlenecks, while he stands there, indifferent, yet amused, muttering it isn't nessary. I always wondered how they'd interact.
You could try Amazon, it's where I found mine. Which conventions were you going to?
(Yes, those mushrooms.)
Ooh! Scan please, scan please!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It'd be a white towel, of course. I imagine he'd be pretty okay if anyone else came in. I mean, he's what, 90? (If he died in '42, and looks to be at least 18...) I mean, at that age, you'd probably be pretty proud to still have such a rockin' bod. XD
Yes, I wonder too. But, you know, since they're side characters it'd never happen. :/
Yeah, I've checked out ebay; if I can't find the issues Kid Etenity and Creeper I want at the con, I'll buy them online. I'm going to Megacon, which is awesomely huge and literally every other stand is for comics.
I'll try and reobtain it, I believe it's on my friend's wall. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definiatly, even considering the fact that he was 5-10 when he died the first time, he's got great abs.
Ah yes, the drawbacks of being subtly awesome background characters. Still, that's what fanworks are for.
"Ooh! This shirt's a nice shade of white! Try it on!"
"M'gann, I apreciate this, but I don't really need new clothes."
"Dude,when you have to do your laundry half naked, you need new clothes."
"Eddie, why did you come along?"
"M'gann puppy pouted at me. You try saying no to that face."
That's the best I can do for now.
Megacon...I have no idea where that is but it sounds so cool.
Yes please! I can't wait to see it!

XD Right? That must have been a bizarre change of body.
AND EDDIE TALKS ABOUT BEING HALF NAKED. XD He's the one who could have used a shirt with his own costume!
(all that's missing is Beetle. Then the shopping experience would be complete.)
Down in Florida. It's pretty huge, hence the name. It is expensive, but the dealer's room is soooo worth it. Panels are good too, but I go for the comics. Great selection and good prices.

Oh yeah. Puberty must not have been fun. Imagine Mr. Keeper trying to explain the birds and the bees.
How did I forget Beetle!

Eddie: What's wrong with my costume?
Jaime: Maybe SOME of us don't want to have to sit next to a topless guy all day long.
Eddie: You know you like it.
Jaime:S-shut up I do not!
(Scarab: Sensing increased blood circulation in host's cheeks.)
Kid Eternity: Is this what normal people do nowadays?
M'gann: Oh yeah, I saw it on the internet! And why would the internet lie?
Eddie: You know M'gann, we should really have a talk about that...
Much better.
Aw rats, Florida's so far away. *Sigh*

Actually, that's under the list of things I try not to imagine. It's just...uncomfortable. For all involved.
XD Now THERE's the perfect scenario! Sigh, I do miss the Eddie/Jaime bromance. One of the few things DC was getting right....

Nono, I have, I love that series. It's so trippy and intricate and beautifully painted! The last page gets me every time; it's just so well-written.

*glomps you* Omigod, I love you right now! I love that series too! It's got art, and plot, and philsophy and Kid Eternity, and Grant Morrison, what's not to like?

I actually winced at that. Poor Kit. He's had a rough life.
XD Jack the Ripper...That, and the scene where he pukes out the window and onto some random couple. Jerry's flippant attitude about having a dead guy in his house...I just love Morrison to pieces over that series.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The art, the ART! It's so chaotic and beautiful. The writing is so impressive; I loved rereading it and having all the "oh!" moments. The whole thing is so complicated, but so simple once you get to the end.
Grant Morrison is fantastic. Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth is better than a lot of novels that I've read. XD Plus, Seaguy and what I've read of Sebastian O are good, and despite how much I dislike the character, I've heard nothing but positive things about All-Star Superman.
Sadly, that part had been previously ruined for me, but still, reading it...
XD Yes, it's just so unexpected! I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cringe, so I did both. And poor Jerry, constantly being yelled at...
My absolute favorite bit is the last line. "Or maybe it was Heaven. How am I supposed to know?"

I know, right? They had one of the epic-est friend(maybe more)ships in TT! Then Eddie died.
Eh, up here we get politicians, Rednecks, and unpredictable weather. Golf courses, huh?

Personally, I don't think it's possible to save them from their wangst, but we can hope.
I'm just not sure what to expect from the "Dead is dead" policy. I mean, in theory, I like it--no more pointless deaths that lack emotional impact. It'll be more real. But...on the other, who actually wants to see their favorite die? Plus, how long d'you think DC can hold out on it?
Unpredictable weather, right there with you. Hurricanes and thunderstorms all aroung.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but if anyone can save them, it's Eddie. His life sucked way more then anybody else's (Aside from Kid Eternity's maybe) but it never bothered him. He always found another reason to smile.
"Dead is Dead" Pshh...I heard they're bringing the Sandman's Death to the comics, maybe she can set Didio strait. "Look here mister, you're taking all the fun out of my job."
Honestly, why can't they just NOT KILL PEOPLE OFF just because of a tiff with the writers?! No more pointless death, no more killing just for OMGconflict! Personally, I hope they revoke it at least long enough for some good folks to come back.
Yikes, Hurricanes.
Don't answer that...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right?
Yes, I got the issue! It was actually pretty good, but I was nervous about them breaking the "don't screw with Sandman" rule. (Have you read Sandman?)
Yeah, did they do that with Blackest Night? Bring people back, I mean. I wasn't paying attention. XD
Ugh, I wish I had to deal with your snow problems! That'd be nice. You get snowmen, right? Therefore it's all worth it. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe they'll realize thier mistake one day. No good can come of loosing one of the few people capable of dealing with thier problems in a mature and rational manner!
They have a "don't screw with Sandman" rule? 8D Does that mean there's a continuity they aren't allowed to screw with? They need more rules like that.
I think they killed at least one person and brought back some folks, including Martian Manhunter. So there's some good in that storyline.
Well, yeah, the snowmen were fun. Getting snowed in was not.

You're a Kid Eternity AND a Static Shock fan? I may just have to cling to you and not let go.
....Holy cow, that sounded less creepy in my mind. Anyway, it sucks big time that no one knows exactly what happened to Kid and the folks up at DC aren't giving us any definite answers. With any luck, "Burnt out" means KE's just needs a good long nap and some chicken noodle soup. I hope he doesn't die. Again. But yeah, it really stinks that he's still in Calculator's possesion.

Chicken noodle soup? I thought only Chinese people like it and Americans hate it. lol
You like Static too? That's great.
By the way, I have Static and Raven dolls in my gallery, so you can check it out if you're interested. I had plan to have other titans dolls made, but later I became too busy and that plan is put on hold, maybe for an eternity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, the puns! >.< I've seen your dolls, and they're awesome. I'm jealous of your ability to sculpt hair. If you ever feel like sculpting more Titans, how about the cartoon Titans? They need more clay love.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't this Raven the cartoon one? xD
Actually I didn't finish the teen titans cartoon, and I've been too busy to watch more episodes. Besides, I think I have more love for the comic. I like the cartoon too but I don't have enough passion since Static isn't in.
