History
Edit
Freelance starship pilot Captain Jim Kidd was contracted by two men named Rogers and Chan to fly Sam C Slade to the planet Verdus, to discover what had become of the missing Earth colonists there. Unfortunately, they had skimped on the shielding on his ship, and when it broke the light barrier, both Kidd and his passenger were affected by temporal flux, effectively being de-aged by thirty years; the elderly Slade was left back in his prime, but Kidd was transformed into a one year old baby, albeit a mouthy one with a taste for cigars. Kidd assisted Slade in freeing Verdus from robotic domination, though the two disliked each other intensely. The embittered Kidd, a deeply unpleasant personality, later tried to cash in on his new status by becoming a celebrity but ended up with a contract out on him after making enemies of virtually everyone involved with him, including his own mother (whose head Kidd had transplanted onto the body of an ape in order to save her from a terminal illness (he was too cheap to shell out for a new human body). Later, Kidd became a professional Robo-Hunter, and still later got mixed up with the anti-robot terrorists the Human League during Brit Cit's National Song Year.
According to one account, decades later Kidd (who had not aged, for reasons he declined to go into) was eventually killed after trying to betray Slade on their return to Verdus. However, this story (in which Kidd was erroneously referred to as 'William' rather than Jim) may be apocryphal, or have been an alternate universe version of Kidd.
NotesEdit
Kidd's last appearance was in Mark Millar's short lived reinvention of the Robo-Hunter strip in the 1990's. It's relationship to the ongoing continuity of the character and the series is uncertain.
