Legion World Forums LEGION WORLD Encyclopedia Galactica 1961/1964/1968 - Origins and Powers of the Legion of Super-Heroes

DREAM GIRL (Nura Nal) comes from NALTOR, a planet where everyone has the power to see into the future - to a limited extent. She has finally developed the power to the degree that she can sometimes see as much as a year into the future.

PRINCESS PROJECTRA of the Royal Family of the planet ORANDO, was endowed by a witch with the power of creating realistic illusions, soon after her birth.

FERRO LAD (Andrew Nolan) was an EARTH boy - but a mutant, with a non-human face which he kept masked and the ability to change his body to nearly invulnerable iron.

LANA LANG could not join the LEGION as a regular member because her INSECT QUEEN power comes from a device - a biogenetic ring given her by an alien from space whom she helped out of a tight spot. But she was made a member of the LEGION RESERVE. When she wears the ring, LANA can take on the attributes of any insect she wishes, and fly like a bee, jump like a grasshopper, etc.

KID PSYCHO (Gnill Opral) was born on the planet HAJOR. His parents were astronauts whose exposure to radiation in space affected their genes. So their son was born with an oversized brain and the power of mind over matter. He developed the ability to project impenetrable force-fields from his eyes. After his world was destroyed in a collision with a wandering planet, he came to EARTH and applied for LEGION membership. But doctors discovered that every time he used his power, he shortened his life by a year. After initially being rejected for membership, he became a RESERVIST - and the LEGION'S SECRET WEAPON.

THE LEGION OF SUBSTITUTE HEROES



POLAR BOY (Brekk Bannin) came from the planet THARR, where the people developed the power of projecting intense cold to combat the heat storms caused when THARR nears its sun in irregular orbit. POLAR BOY is the founder and leader of the LEGION OF SUBSTITUTE HEROES, made up of Legion rejects.

FIRE LAD (Stag Mavlen) of the planet SHWAR, was endowed with flame breath when he inhaled weird vapors from a crashing meteor.

NIGHT GIRL (Lydda Jath) was born on the dark planet KATHOON. Her father created a vitalizing ray which gave her super-strength - but only in deep shadow or at night. Direct sunlight robs her of her power.

STONE BOY (Dag Wentim) comes from the planet ZWEN, which rotates so slowly that the nights are half a year long. The people developed the power to turn to stone so they could spend this time in suspended animation. STONE BOY can remain awake when he is in stone form, but he cannot move.

CHLOROPHYLL KID (Ral Benem) of the planet MARDRU, fell into a tank of super-powerful plant-growing solution as an infant. As a result, he gained the power to make plants grow super-fast - and super-big.

COLOR KID (Ulu Vakk) of the planet LUPRA, was assisting a scientist in an experiment when a ray of multicolored light from another dimension struck the lad. It gave him the ability to change the color of anything at will.
