7 Things About Kingo Only Comic Fans Know

Kingo has a far stronger relationship with humanity than the rest of the team. Still, the team is about to have a massive impact on Earth in the MCU, potentially involving themselves with the Avengers. After years of observing society, Kingo and the Eternals will conflict with the Deviants throughout Phase 4. The appearance of these Deities will also herald the return of Celestials and other cosmic beings far more dangerous than Kingo.

Origins

The character in the MCU does not appear to have been born on Earth at all. Importantly, he still understands, sympathizes with, and wishes to emulate human society's traditions, as will be discussed further. This connection to Terra fuels Kingo's ambitions and should influence the character's actions on screen.

Live-Action Changes

Kumail Nanjiani plays the character, who seeks fame in Bollywood and becomes a well-liked movie star. However, comic book fans know that this origin has strange ties to the source material and Kingo's role in the modern world.

Samurai Background

Throughout the 16th century, Kingo continued to study Japanese tradition and Samurai techniques. It's an important part of his identity, but the MCU won't be reflecting it because of his alternate origins. However, Samurai's life is reflected in every aspect of the character.

Power Set

Flight, invulnerability, strength, immortality, energy projection, and particle manipulation are all shared by the characters in the comic book Eternals. These abilities manifest themselves on-screen, and Kingo's own abilities have been given an intriguing visual representation.

Film Star

The modern era did not value Samurai culture in the same way it did in the 16th century, but Kingo found a new way to express his feelings. As time passed, Kingo evolved into a stunt performer in the comics, frequently starring as Samurai warriors in film adaptations.

Facing the Mongols

The MCU and comic book versions of the Eternals are both forbidden from interfering with human conflicts. Kingo came dangerously close to breaking this code when Ghenghis Khan's son, Gedei, took the Mongol Army and prepared to invade Europe, possibly with the help of the Eternal Druig.

Staying on Earth

While many of the Eternals chose to leave Earth behind and travel into space, Kingo couldn't bear the thought of being away from his home. He stayed on Earth with the rest of the group, including Ikarus. This could be a decision made by the Bollywood star in the film, as the rest of the Eternals search for the other cosmic Gods that the MCU is still introducing.
