Biography
Origin
Thom Kallor was a male extraterrestrial from the planet Xanthu and native to a point in the far future. He was once an ordinary being when once he was travelling through space in his ship that passed through the trail of a comet. The encounter led to him gaining powers from the exposure to the comet's energy which manifested when his ship crashed on the return to his homeworld. Despite the crash, Kallor emerged unharmed which was witnessed by his family as he demonstrated superhuman powers. His father put him through a series of tests that showed the range of powers he gained including superstrength, invulnerability, flight, heat-vision and similar such traits. Thom's parents decided to put his new wondrous abilities towards good use and created a costume for him to operate as the superhero called Starboy. During this time, he travelled to the 30th century Earth where he came to join the ranks of the Legion of Super-Heroes. (Adventure Comics v1 #282)
Starman
For months, he began to operate as the new Starman and operated as a superhero in Opal City. Due to his mental trauma, he could not remember his past and suffered from a form of schizophrenia with him regularly returning to the Sunshine Sanitarium. During this time, he requested the help of the Justice Society of America where he came to join the superhero team. (Justice Society of America v3 #1)
