About
This unknown child, having grown up in the town of South Park, became sick of seeing crime and evil in his community, and the incompetence of town's police forces. As violence and darkness took over the streets, he works, sometimes alone, to rid the streets of crime. He is the symbol this town needs. A watchful protector. A silent guardian. An agnostic angel.
He was first sighted publicly the same week the Coon made his debut, and sparred with him and Professor Chaos before being arrested as a vigilante. He later joined Coon and Friends and helped with the Gulf Oil Spill crisis with Captain Hindsight and Mint-Berry Crunch, revealing his super-power though struggling to come to terms with it. In some times of distress, he also comforts his sister under the guise of his alter-ego.
Although his identity remained a mystery for a long time, he was finally revealed to be... Kenny.
