Battle of Heian-Kyo[]
Kappa terrorizes Humans
Kappa terrorized the Japanese city of Heian-Kyo. Makkari and Druig stepped in to resolve the situation. Makkari fought Kappa well until he was hit with an arrow. Makkari was then able to punch Kappa far away. Later, Kappa prepared to attack a man named Yoshiie Minamoto, making Minamoto and Druig believe that another Deviant was him. Druig jumped in front of Minamoto making it so Kappa bit him instead. Druig then took control of Minamoto's body to attack the creature. However, the Deviant survived and absorbed Druig's ability to control minds.[1]
Enthralling Others[]
It began leading attacks against the Eternals individually while controlling the other Deviants. The Eternals tracked the Kappa down to a cave in China, leading to a battle. Thena then killed the Kappa, resulting in the death of its Deviant soldiers.[1]
Legacy[]
After being defeated, the Kappa was known to be a demon from the Shinto mythology of Japan.[1]
