Build Comments: One of Darkseid’s Elite who doesn’t get a whole lot of in the comics outside of
Mister Miracle’s series, Kanto. He’s Darkseid’s elite assassin but doesn’t seem to be sent to kill
anyone of note that I’ve ever seen in my 40+ years of reading comics.

AND I unless I missed something on the old ATT, I think I am the first person to stat him. I think he
was too DC jobbery for even Jab to stat him.

Secret Origins/ The Story so Far: Once a student of Granny Goodness named Iluthin, Kanto was
accused of stealing weaponry from Darkseid's then-master assassin Kanto-13. Against the request of
Kanto-13, young Iluthin was exiled from Apokolips to Earth during the Renaissance period. There, he
trained under Italian teachers, and fell in love with a woman named Claudia. But Kanto 13 tracked
him to Earth, and at the wedding altar, Kanto-13 attacked them, and killed his bride Claudia. Iluthin
and Kanto 13 battled, and in the end Darkseid's assassin was defeated. Darkseid himself came to
Earth and destroyed Kanto-13 for failure, and Iluthin returned to Apokolips as Darkseid's new
assassin.

When Mister Miracle came back to Apokolips, Kanto was one of the obstacles that he faced.
Characterization: Kanto dresses in a quasi-Renaissance fashion, possibly to imply both royal court
intrigue, and the artistic pride that he had in his assassin's work.

Friends and Foes: He has a long running rivalry with Mister Miracle.
