List of Marvel Comics Characters: K - Johny Kitano

Johny Kitano is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by Brian K. Vaughan and Jorge Lucas, and first appeared in Mystique #2

Not much is known about Johny Kitano, except that he was part of the United States Department of Homeland Security and was at some point appointed as Special Magistrate for Homo Superior crimes against humanity. He also had a great hatred for mutant terrorists such as Mystique and Magneto

When Mystique was captured by Homeland Security, she was labeled an enemy combatant, thus her legal rights were unrecognized by her captors. Due to her status as a wanted terrorist, Kitano was given authority regarding the execution of Mystique. However, he was stopped by Charles Xavier, who had his own plans for Mystique and rescued her by posing as Magneto.

Following Mystique's escape, Kitano led Homeland Security forces in order to hunt down Mystique, though he failed due to the intervention of Shepard.

It is unknown whether he survived Shepard's strike. If he did then it is possible he was one of the million of mutants depowered at M-Day, as his name was not listed among The 198 Files.

Kitano had the power of generating high-levels of bioelectricity and channelling it as high-voltage electric shocks or casting bolts of lightning.
