Who is Adam Orion?

A Bronze Age creation stepping out of the pages of Superboy in 1973, Adam Orion was brought to life by the celebrated team of Cary Bates and Dave Cockrum at DC Comics. Though his catalog footprint is modest, he shares his adventures with some of the Legion of Super-Heroes' most iconic figures — Imra Ardeen, Reep Daggle, Nura Nal, and Star Boy among them — placing him squarely in the rich, sprawling corner of the DC universe set in the far future. His appearances across Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Cockrum-era Superboy make him a genuine artifact of one of Bronze Age DC's most beloved creative periods, and for collectors who love hunting down every face in that legendary ensemble, Adam Orion is a name worth knowing.
