Color Kid

Color Kid is a member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes in the far future of the DC Universe, a young hero whose power to change the color of objects proved too limited for full Legion membership but earned him a place among the dedicated Subs.

A Bronze Age gem from the DC Universe, Color Kid made their debut in 1976's Limited Collectors' Edition #C-49, brought to life by the legendary Legion architects Jim Shooter and Curt Swan. Across nearly two decades of comics, this character carved out a niche in the far-future world of the Legion of Super-Heroes, sharing pages with the likes of Rokk Krinn, Jo Nah, and Stone Boy in stories that stretched from sprawling team epics to the celebrated Legion of Substitute Heroes Special. With four key-issue appearances to their name and an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — DC's ultimate roll call of characters worth knowing — Color Kid is a collector's delight: a Bronze Age curiosity with genuine legacy credibility. If you love the rich, expansive mythology of the Legion's 30th century, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
