Cosmic King is a fictional character owned by DC Comics. He is a member of the Legion of Super-Villains. Though his name reminds of Legionnaire Cosmic Boy, Cosmic King's powers are not magnetic, but rather transmutational, making him more an evil counterpart to Element Lad.
Cosmic King was born Laevar Bolto on the planet Venus. He was an alchemist who spent his life trying to invent a ray that could change an object's atomic structure into that of another. He was finally successful when he was able to transform a flower into a sparkling jewel. After accidentally falling in front of the ray himself, he found that he possessed the ray's ability innately. When he approached the Venus government officials with his discovery he was informed that his power of transmutation was considered evil. As such he was banished from Venus and traveled to the Earth's past where he became part of the Legion of Super-Villains. He is sometimes depicted as wearing a breathing device, which may mean that he does not breathe oxygen as humans do.
