Who is Stone Boy?

Stone Boy is Dag Wentim, a native of the planet Zwen where all inhabitants hibernate by turning to stone. Seeking to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, he demonstrated this ability but was rejected as a founding member since he couldn't move while using his power.

Stone Boy is one of those wonderfully offbeat Silver Age creations who has quietly persisted through six decades of DC history since his 1963 debut in Adventure Comics #306, conjured by the legendary Edmond Hamilton and artist John Forte. Born from that era's boundless imagination, he's carved out a niche across Legion of Super-Heroes and Adventure Comics, sharing pages with the likes of Rokk Krinn, Lar Gand, and Fire Lad β€” serious company in the far-future DC cosmos. With three key-issue appearances to his name and a publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2026, this is a character whose staying power quietly defies his cult status. Collectors who dig deep into the Silver Age's quirkier corners β€” and who love a character celebrated enough to earn a Who's Who entry β€” will find Stone Boy a genuinely rewarding discovery.
