History
The boat captain the Kid referred to as his grandfather is actually a sexual predator who had picked up the young orphaned boy for his own purposes. The fishing ship they are on is destroyed by a U-boat and the Kid is killed. The Kid arrives at an artificial heaven created by the supernatural Lords of Chaos, who make the Kid their unwitting servant by convincing him he had been killed too early and that they would return him to life for the error.
The Kid is given the power to summon people by saying "Eternity", but the people he summons are actually demons who assume the form of the figures he desires. He can choose any person or fictional character, without regard to "good" or "evil" to bring back. The Lords of Chaos give the Kid a guide, a minor Lord of Chaos called "Mr. Keeper". Mr. Keeper, who assumes the form of a pudgy, overweight human, acts as a guide the kid in setting up and turning on a series of "Chaos Engines", which is part of a plot by the Lords of Chaos to earn their way back into heaven by forcing the evolution of mankind, a deed for which they feel God will forgive their past transgressions.
Death and Rebirth
Kid Eternity is killed by the sorcerer Mordru, who seeks to wipe out all agents of Order or Chaos. He later appearsas either a spirit within Doctor Fate's amulet or a hallucination. He returns having been used by the newest Brother Blood to wedge open the doorway between life and death, to which he was chained. This doorway appears as an actual doorway, with 'life and death' written on it, as it is seen from Beast Boy's perspective, and that was all that Beast Boy's mind is able to comprehend. He returns and finally defeats Blood, who has been plaguing the Titans for some time using the souls of all the previous Brother Bloods, and is active once again.
52
Osiris mentions that he helped the Kid fight against the Keeper who was trying to control the dead.
