Biography
Pre-Crisis
Tommy Tomorrow was a young orphan raised in a space orphanage located in a domed city on an asteroid. From a young age he showed scientific ingenuity and was a prodigy at inventing things. Supergirl, a hero from the past, was training using her powers, and broke through the time-barrier, ending up in the 21st Century. She witnessed a U.S. space probe from her own time crash through the asteroid city’s glass dome, and used her heat-vision to repair the damage. She flew to Tommy’s orphanage to save the kids from the falling probe, but Tommy used his latest invention, an anti-gravity gun, to deflect it. Supergirl had the misfortune to wander near a kryptonite meteor, and as it sapped her powers she collapsed into a nearby bush. Tommy took his friend Jik out to show him more of his latest inventions, and he used a changer ray to turn the kryptonite into ice, unwittingly saving Supergirl’s life. Supergirl was grateful and wanted to repay Tommy so she flew overhead, observing the boys. They ran into a large beast of prey, but Tommy handled it with a hypno-gun, and when they wandered into quicksand Tommy extricated them with his sky hook, and Supergirl realized she didn’t need to save Tommy, who was great at getting himself into and out of danger. The headmaster of the orphanage told Tommy a famous scientist and his wife wanted to adopt the boy with the best scientific mind, and he’d recommended Tommy. The orphan was overjoyed, and Supergirl finally got to pay him back by saving the scientist and his wife, whose ship had gotten trapped in a cluster of mirror meteors. Tommy was overjoyed to meet his adoptive parents, and took their last name as Tommy Tomorrow. Supergirl returned to her own time to write about meeting Tommy tomorrow in her diary.
