Spotlight on Cosmic Boy

Who, you say? Cosmic Boy? Ah, superheros are more powerful when their fame is kept under wraps. Cosmic Boy first appeared in Adventure Comics, the founding member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, the original leader in all incarnations of the Legion. His character has been fairly consistent, with a serious attitude and a strong sense of duty.

Check out this description of him published on Wikipedia..."Cosmic Boy is like the all-around leader who puts it all on his shoulders, but he's magnetic. His powers are all about magnetics, and so it carries over to his personality. An he struggles to bring all the Legion back together. He's like, 'We can do this. We can bring it together' It comes naturally to him."

Ten years ago today, our Cosmic Boy blazed a trail into the Greenhouse5, transforming the Greenhouse2 into the Greenhouse3. In a style that has proved uncharacteristic, he seemed to be in a hurry to get out, causing Mr. Incredible to put the transport vehicle into hyperspeed to complete the mission without altering the flight plan.

Cosmic Boy is a joy to all who know him, like his alter-ego, he's magnetic. His leadership is beginning to shine too, leading the budding superheroes in our legion, with a style that at times shows a flair much like my own. He's responsible, capable, and an all around good young superhero. Happy Birthday Cosmic Boy, AKA Sheepdog, we're proud of you!
