The Kid.

Kid Eternity can say Eternity and summon anyone in history, so long as they are dead in the present, to fight at his side for 1 minute and 6 seconds (roughly). At least, this is what Kit claims his abilities were prior to the Spectres destruction of various leylines across the world. Now, his powers have become unpredictable, and this young agent of the Lords of Order must relearn his magical talent. Kid Eternity is a being in flux - his faith has been shaken both in his original motivations as a hero and in his own abilities, but Kit owes a life debt to those Checkmate agents who rescued him from the evil Thomas Alva Edison underneath Time in a Bottle, and he has thrown in wholeheartedly with the resistance efforts in the war against Darkseid.

I want to share my original write-up for the Kid for Maniac and Cody, when he ranked on his draft class' list. I think it does the best to sum up what the Kid is for this campaign:

The Kid sat down at his terminal, interlacing his fingers and cracking his knuckles. The time for a reckoning had come. He'd slaved away, expending his power, allowing the cold hollowness that filled his soul with each shouting "Eternity" to rattle him, beat against the cage of his heart, permeate every orifice and corner of his body. All of it was for this. The opportunity to claim victory, and not just a pyrrhic victory, but a dominating one, a clear sign of superiority that for once, the Kid wasn't the also-ran. The Kid was going to win and win big here. All needed to do was open Discord and...

...

The Kid's lips parted like a guppy, his glasses naturally sliding down the bridge of his nose like the beltline on a plumber's jeans. This couldn't be. This was bullshit. The Kid had come back from the dead for this. He'd toiled in the bowels of Hell for this, burned in agony, his flesh melting, stripped from bone, charred bones devoured by the demonic flames which licked at the end of every devil's whip as they had flayed the Kid's back. The Kid hadn't just died, he'd died in the worst way, and all of his actions, all of his work... The Kid pushed his glasses back up. It was the fact that no one cared about Geomancer, wasn't it? Geomancer had done him in. Screwed him over, big time. He should have aimed for someone with some clout, like Firestorm, like... who was this woman no one would shut up about? Sue Dirvny. That's right. He should have summoned up this Sue Divrny. But here he was. The damage done, the chance at redemption too late. He hadn't even cracked the top five.

"Whatever," says the Kid, turning off his monitor.

And then there were fifteen.
