Who's Who: Energy Boy

Planet of Origin: Ventura

Relationship to Legion: Rejected Legion applicant

Legion Log
Energy Boy came to Earth from his native planet, Ventura, in order to answer the Legion's Open Call for new members.

Energy Boy passed the initial interviews and was one of the final eight applicants. However, when he was asked to demonstrate his Nuclo-Globe in front of the Legion, he was distracted by Polar Boy. Due to his inability to respond well to this surprise, Energy Boy was rejected.

Sometime between the time he got in line for the initial interviews and the time he demonstrated his powers, Energy Boy decided he looked more professional wearing pants.

Energy Boy never reappeared, in any continuity. After Infinite Crisis, his original history has presumably been more or less restored.
