Biography

Dying and living again

Prior to being born as Thom Kallor, Star Boy's soul lived at least two lives on Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries - as the hero Scalphunter in the Old West of the United States of America; then in Opal City as the corrupt policeman Matt O'Dare, a member of a whole family of policemen and belated ally of Jack Knight, one of many heroes to take the name "Starman."

Amazer

Born again on Xanthu in the late 30th century, Thom Kallor would grow to become one of Xanthu's heroes, the Amazers, with the power to increase the weight of objects and to fly, and when first seen, was in competition to become Xanthu's Planetary Champion for a year. Reaching the final three against Atmos and Kid Quantum (James Cullen), his chances were improved by Kid Quantum's abrupt withdrawal from the competition when he was drafted into the newly-formed Legion. It is not known if he succeeded, but the fact that he was the one tapped as Kid Quantum's replacement after his death would seem to make that unlikely.

Powers and abilities

Currently, the power to control gravity. He can make increase or decrease the pull of gravity on objects, making them rise or fall; he can also compress objects into super-dense materials and use his abilities to fly. This was the result of him practicing his powers; originally he was just able to increase the mass and density of objects and make the heavier and harder to move.

Formerly, he also had super-strength, enhanced durability, super speed, electric vision and possibly heightened senses and reflexes.

Future?

In at least one version of his future, Star Boy would indeed fulfil the Shade's prediction, time-travelling to the 21st Century to become Starman under the name "Danny Blaine," using a slight variation on the Kingdom Come Starman's costume.

On the second-last day of his life, this Starman would use a Time Bubble to go to 1951, retrieving Jack Knight from a time-travel adventure of his own and returning him to his own time. After briefly reminiscing with Jack on his meeting with him while a teenager in the late 30th Century, saying how he felt he had lived two whole lives, and raising the prospect that he may have been from "a future" rather than "the future," the elderly, scarred Thom/Danny returned to his then-home time to face his fate.

He would never discover that he was the reincarnated Matt O'Dare.
