Fictional character biography
Kingo spent centuries in
Japan learning the ways of theSamurai , and is one of the most skilled swordsmen on the planet. In the present day and age, he has parlayed his skills into becoming a majoraction film star in Japan. ["Eternals" vol. 1 #11 (May 1977)]He recently has reappeared, after Sprite's mindwiping of the Eternals, once again, as a major Japanese film icon, now an actor, director, and producer, who is making a film in San Francisco starring the Blob, finding himself drawn to the
Dreaming Celestial . ["Uncanny X-Men" #500]Powers and abilities
Kingo Sunen presumably has all the typical powers of Eternals --immortality, super-strength, flight, energy projection, and molecular manipulation. However, he eschews the use of these powers in battle, preferring to fight in the traditional manner of the Samurai. Kingo uses a sword forged by the Eternal
Phastos that can cut through nearly any material.References
