Among the most frequent allies of Kid Eternity was the classic age swimme supreme Leander. On at least three occasions, he aided Kid in various adventures.
Known as a young lad in love with a young woman named Hero, who lived on the opposite side of the Hellespont straight from him. Although initially they were prohibited from seeing each other, Leander utilized his prolific swimming abilities to traverse the massive body of water that separated them.
Although their relationship ended with them apart. Leander still displayed his noble side each time he was called upon to assist the innocent.
On Earth-One, there was Garth aka Aqualad, who as an orphan was adopted by a fellow water breather like himself named Aquaman. After several adventures, Garth eventually joined other kid heroes to form the Teen Titans, and developed a romantic attachment with fellow Atlantean named Tula... the Aquagirl. Like his counterpart on Earth-S, Leander, he ultimately lost his true love in death.
Another version of Leander on Earth-Two known as Neptune Perkins was a mutant who was similarly an Olympic level swimmer but neither he nor Leander could live indefinitely underwater, although Perkins' girlfriend Tsunami had this ability. Those two likewise had a short lived romance.
