Magno
by Siskoid

Real Name: Dyrk Magz

Super-Power(s): Magnetism.
Planet of Origin: Braal

Legion Seniority: Magno was the fourth completely new Legion recruit after the Reboot.

Legion Log
Dyrk Magz was a fairly typical native of Braal, with the same magnetic powers as everyone else. What set him apart from the crowd, though, was his courage in applying to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, a bravery that was rewarded when they accepted him as Magno replacing the absent Cosmic Boy. During the Legion's battle against Mordru, he was unfortunately hit by a mystical blast which cost him his powers and was forced to resign.

Magno briefly returned to Braal, but eventually found a place with the Legion as the permanent guard at the Legion's Outpost Allon. During this time, he briefly dated XS. The Outpost was destroyed in a spatial rift and the Legion disbanded, so Magz joined the Science Police and was stationed on Braal where he secretly assisted a band of Legionnaires in seizing a Braalian ship so they could head for Earth.

After the Threeboot, Magno does not seem to exist.

After Infinite Crisis, it is not clear whether Magno exists, but after Flashpoint, he is seen as one of the Legion's younger members.
