Earth Son

Mustapha Oni is the modern name of the Nigerian superhero Earth Son. First introduced as a child during the Global Superhuman Summit arc of Man & Myth, Earth Son has been reincarnated an unknown number of times and grows at an accelerated rate depending on how much power he must expend. Within the universe's chronology, we have seen two rebirths of Earth Son, the first at the beginning of Continent of Gods, a series in which he is a primary character, and the second at the series end.

Abilities
Earth Son, being one of the strongest heroes in the universe, possesses a number of superhuman abilities, though the most notable is his "Rebirth" ability, allowing him to be reborn as a child after death. It is unknown whether this ability is infallible, essentially rendering Earth Son immortal, and if he has always been reincarnated into the same body, as he has so far within the canon.

Beyond that, Earth Son can fly, has immense strength (in his adult form, he is able to go toe to toe with Omega), can communicate with animals, and seems to have an effect on plants when he is nearby and radiating energy (in the Earth Son series, he revives a crop field destroyed by locusts).

Affiliations
Earth Son is associated with several superhero groups. He appeared as a delegate at the first Global Superhuman Summit, and later becomes an official member during the events of Continent of Gods. He, along with Omega, Solaris, and several other heroes are part of the so-called "Big Guns", the most powerful heroes among the group whose services are reserved for the most pressing, dangerous crises.

He later forms and leads the Golden Guardians, an African superhero squad named for his fictional West African homeland, the Gold Coast Federation, though he is later succeeded.

Appearances
While Earth Son is a major character in Man & Myth, Continent of Gods, and his eponymous series Earth Son, he also makes appearances in several other stories, sometimes playing an important role, other times in fleeting cameos.

Because of his friendship and rivalry with Omega, he appears often in the Omega series.

He appears in the Youngbloods series as a child during his third reincarnation, fighting alongside the titular team of young superheroes.
