Legion Log
Quake Kid appeared at one of the regularly-scheduled Legion try-outs. However, because he did not display sufficient control over his ability to create artificial earthquakes, he was rejected.

During his one and only appearance, Quake Kid's back story and real name were not given. In fact, there were no scenes of him even demonstrating his powers. He was seen literally getting sick from touching fellow try-out Infectious Lass; as she later reappeared with Porcupine Pete, it can be inferred that Quake Kid never got together with her after this very brief encounter.

Quake Kid did not appear in the Reboot.

In the Threeboot, one of Mekt Ranzz's Wanderers was named Kid Quake, a character with a similar name and badly controlled powers.

After Infinite Crisis, Quake Kid's original history has presumably been more or less restored.

Quake Kid made silent cameos as a Legion reject in two episodes of the Legion of Super-Heroes animated series, albeit with a very different costume.
