Cosmic Boy

Cosmic Boy (Rokk Krinn) is a superhero appearing in comics published by DC Comics. He is from the 31st century, and is a founding member and original leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Cosmic Boy has appeared in various media outside comics, primarily those featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes. He is voiced by Wil Wheaton in Legion of Super Heroes (2006) and portrayed by Ryan Kennedy in Smallville.

Cosmic Boy first appeared in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958) and was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino.

Rokk Krinn, best known as Cosmic Boy, is a founding member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, along with Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl who possesses the innate ability to generate magnetic fields. Cosmic Boy's brother Pol joins the Legion as Magnetic Kid before being killed during the Magic Wars.

In the pre-Zero Hour Legion, Cosmic Boy was romantically involved with Night Girl (Lydda Jath). During the "Five Year Gap" following the Magic Wars, Rokk loses his powers after being exposed to a magnetic dampener during a war between Braal and Imsk (the homeworld of Shrinking Violet). He leaves the Legion and returns to Braal to live there with Lydda. The two have a son named Pol, named for Rokk's brother.

When Reep Daggle reforms the Legion, Rokk rejoins the group as Polestar, utilizing special gauntlets that replicate his original powers. However, he renounces the gauntlets after they began to affect his mind.

During the Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! event, Rokk learns that he is apparently destined to become the Time Trapper. Shortly afterward, he and the rest of the Legion are erased from existence when the timeline is rebooted.

In post-Zero Hour continuity, Rokk Krinn is a celebrity player of the Braalian sport Magnoball, earning the nickname "Cosmic Boy" after winning the Magnoball Cosmic Games. He sends most of his earnings to his family, unaware that his manager Alex Cuspin is embezzling them. After learning of Cuspin's actions, Rokk dismisses him and has him arrested. Leviathan, a Science Police veteran, appoints Cosmic Boy leader of the Legion following the death of Kid Quantum. Cosmic Boy later voluntarily steps down from leadership, feeling that he has served as leader for long enough.
