The sources present Sulevipoeg not via a distinct birth myth but as a son‑figure within the Kalev family cycles. In runic songs he appears as an unnamed son of Kalev who is in some variants called Sulevipoeg or Sulevi‑Kalevipoeg; the name‑form marks filial relation (‑poeg = "son"). There is no attested supernatural birth narrative or cosmic origin in the cited materials—he is a member of a narrative kin group rather than a figure introduced by an origin legend in the provided sources.
The cited materials do not supply a direct physical description of Sulevipoeg. He is presented as a male son of Kalev appearing in runic‑song episodes (for example the forest encounter in 'Suisa suud') and elsewhere is listed among siblings in Kalevipoeg cycles. Beyond identification as a son in those narratives, no details of stature, dress, or distinctive supernatural features are recorded in the provided sources.
No supernatural abilities are attributed to Sulevipoeg in the provided runic‑song and literary excerpts. The character's behavior as attested is human and violent: in the runic song 'Suisa suud' a son‑figure variously named Kalevipoeg, Sulevipoeg and Sulevi‑Kalevipoeg acts as a violent harasser of women and demands a kiss from a maiden in a forest, an advance to which the maiden responds by stabbing him with a hidden knife. Other cited fragments list him among Kalev's sons who figure in stories of travel and violent encounters in the broader Kalevipoeg narrative cycle, but no magical powers or cosmological functions are documented in the provided sources.
