List of Marvel Comics Characters: S - Kingo Sunen

Kingo Sunen is a member of the Eternals, a fictional race in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by Jack Kirby, Kingo Sunen first appeared in The Eternals vol. 1 #11 (May 1977).

The character subsequently appears in Eternals vol. 2 #1 (October 1985), 3-12 (December 1985-September 1986), Avengers vol. 1 #308-310 (October–November 1989), 370 (January 1994), Eternals: Apocalypse Now (February 2000), and Uncanny X-Men #500 (July 2008).

Kingo spent centuries in Japan learning the ways of the Samurai, 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 major action film star in Japan.

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.

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.
