Star Boy (Thom Kallor) is a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. He was born with the superhuman ability to temporarily increase the mass of an object, up to the mass of a star. He was born on an observatory satellite orbiting the planet Xanthu, to astronomer parents. He originally gained Kryptonian level powers like those of Superboy when he was caught in the tail of a comet, but in time those faded leaving only his original density power. He was expelled from the Legion for killing in self-defence his girlfriend Dream Girl's ex-boyfriend, Kenz Nahor, thus breaking the Legion's non-killing rule. After this he and Dream Girl joined the Legion of Substitute Heroes for a time before returning to the Legion. Star Boy originally wore a purple uniform with a white cape and a five-pointed yellow star on his chest, but his best known costume was a full-body starfield suit.
Post-Zero Hour, he was still a Legion member, but discovered that his apparent destiny is to travel back in time to the 21st Century to take up the role of Starman.
Originally, Star Boy was depicted as a caucasian. The 2004 reboot of the Legion by Mark Waid recasts the character as black making him the third black hero from Xanthu to join the Legion the others being Kid Quantums 1 and 2.
