Background

Xi Nian is a reincarnator who spent sixteen years living in Washington in a world of advanced technology, magic, mutants, aliens, and superheroes. Before awakening his ability, he considered himself an ordinary person and had little practical knowledge of the comic-inspired world around him. 1

On his sixteenth birthday, he awakened Lord of Kin, an ability he initially considered nearly useless in combat due to its contact-based activation conditions. His life changes after he borrows Diana’s divine abilities, develops multiple temporary forms, and becomes entangled in conflicts involving symbiotes, alien invasions, Kryptonians, Mother Boxes, and multiversal threats. 1 4 28 112

Xi Nian later forms and leads the Destiny Alliance. Its members use the Energy Absorption Space as a hidden base while he scouts new universes and chooses appropriate ability combinations for each threat. 504 526 566

Appearance

Xi Nian is a tall youth who exceeded 1.7 meters at sixteen. His ordinary appearance includes black hair and brown eyes, though his forms dramatically alter his hair, eyes, clothing, and aura. 1 72

  • Normal appearance — black hair, brown eyes, and an androgynous-leaning wardrobe influenced by the household owner’s aesthetic. 1 72
  • Demigod appearance — long silver-white hair and ice-silver eyes, with divine power visibly radiating from his body. 4 72
  • Black Superman appearance — a black Superman suit, stronger physique, and a bracelet that resonates with Kara’s Guardian Silver Bracelets. 110
  • Deified appearance — silver-white hair, golden eyes, white divine power over a black Superman suit, white lightning, and the Lasso of Truth forming a halo. 112
  • Five-in-One appearance — Vibranium battle suit, flaming S-shaped chest emblem, green spider insignia, scarlet cape, and a five-colored energy crown. 570 587
  • White Lantern appearance — purple hair, golden eyes, Kryptonian totem, Amazon crown, magical Lasso imprint, and Black, Violet, and White Lantern powers. 485 493

Personality

Xi Nian is initially pragmatic and reluctant to label himself either villain or superhero. He recognizes the troubling nature of Lord of Kin but refuses to use it for wrongdoing. 1

He is compassionate toward vulnerable people and animals, feeding a stray cat, treating Kara’s confession respectfully, encouraging Kara to become a “Superwoman,” and acting to protect hostages during a robbery. 21 70 172

As his power grows, Xi Nian becomes more strategic in selecting abilities and deciding when intervention is necessary. He can appear detached or indifferent, particularly when facing the Soul Stone’s demand for sacrifice, but repeatedly acts to stop catastrophic threats to Earth and other worlds. 318 472 532 587
