Brother. Okay, where to start? The worried, ineffectual, ectoplasmic monk? I’ll bet he’s Kid Eternity’s ghostly-guardian or something . . . sigh. Googling:

The Kid was originally a nameless boy (who only ever remembered being called 'Kid' by his 'Gran'pa') who was killed when a U-Boat sank his grandfather's fishing boat during World War II. Due to a supernatural mix-up, however, he was killed seventy-five years too soon at the time.

To rectify the error, the Kid was brought back to life for another seventy-five years with the mission of upholding good in the world. He was given the power to summon any good historical or mythological figure by saying the word "Eternity" as well as to use the same word to make himself material or immaterial. Kid Eternity was further assisted on his duties by the clerk who'd made the error, Mr. Keeper.

Ah. So that's Mr. Keeper. Wikipedia also lists of his superpowers as “intangibility,” which doesn’t seem working so well here. Good thing Lash LeWhip came along, thought about using his whip to put out one of the Brute's eyes - that would surely disable him - but decided it would be better to grab his gun first. No way anyone named Brute could hold on to it, after all.

Then there's the lighting: so strong it casts an inky shadow from behind Lash LeWhip, or whoever he is - but there's another source behind Brute, and it's so strong it casts shadows of his individual arm hairs.

Okay, okay. It's Zorro. The kid is being beaten senseless, so he calls for Zorro.

Whram! That's the sound mythical or historical characters make when they are summoned from the afterlife by some kid.

By the way:

In the 1990s, a different and darker version of the character was introduced. The boat captain the Kid referred to as his grandfather is actually a sexual predator who had picked up the young orphaned boy for his own purposes.

Oooh! Dark!
