History:

Little of Kid Legend’s background has been revealed at this point. It is known that he made his first public appearance on August 17, 1941 (“The Day”) and participated in the formation of the group that would become known as the U.S. Aces. Since that time, he has been an active member of the Aces, as well as teaming with the Cloak of Darkness and later, Nightbird, on a regular basis.

The Kid is widely regarded as one of the very most powerful XOs in the world. The scope and limits of his abilities are still being discovered, and appear to increase as he ages. The Cloak of Darkness, in addition to serving as a mentor to Kid Legend, has assisted him in determining the extent of his abilities.
