According to Stan Lee and Nick Carter:
My buddy Nick draws ancient and arcane Ninja powers from his amulet, which transforms him into an unparalleled martial artist. This guy makes Jackie Chan look like he's stuck in glue. He's got a magnificent sword that's sharp enough to shave the chin whiskers off a housefly. With blinding speed, incredible stealth and tireless stamina, Nick can defeat the fiercest of foes.
