Kid Eternity is the name of several superheroes published by originally Quality Comics and then DC Comics. The character debuted in Quality Comic's Hit Comics #25 (December, 1942), written by Otto Binder and drawn by Sheldon Moldoff. In the 1980s, Kid Eternity was folded into the Shazam! series. Kid Eternity was rebooted in 1991 by Grant Morrison with a new focus and backstory, appearing sporadically since then and became associated with the Teen Titans. A new, female version debuted in JSA (vol. 2) #3, written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Diego Olortegui.

The first version of Kid Eternity is Christopher "Kit" Freeman, a teenager whose death in the 1940s was considered too soon due a to a supernatural mishap. The supernatural entity Mr. Keeper rectified this by returning Kit to life as a superhero upholding good in the world while bestowing the power to summoning mythological or historical figures by saying "Eternity" and granting him ghost-like powers. Subjected to various revisions, the character, is retroactively connected as an agent of the Lords of Chaos. Following the New 52 reboot, he is instead a young coroner able to resurrect the dead. The second Kid Eternity is an unrevealed, teenage ghost girl whom happens upon Hawkman while the JSA battles the Injustice Society and helps the hero while learning of her origins. This version is alternatively an agent for the Lords of Order.
