Fictional character biography

The original Heroes of Lallor are five super-powered youths born roughly during the same time period on Lallor, a planet run by a dictatorship. Their superpowers result from their parents' exposure to atomic radiation. Though raised by the government, they are eventually banished for opposing the dictatorship. The Heroes of Lallor are tricked into fighting the Legion by a relative of the Jungle King, who had fallen in battle to the Legion previously. During the battle, Duplicate Boy and Shrinking Violet fall in love; their relationship survives this battle. The dictatorship is overthrown and the heroes choose to remain on Lallor. [1]

In Adventure Comics #339, Beast Boy, who has been shunned by Lallorian society, flees to the planet Vorn, where he leads Vorn's wildlife in a revolt against humans. He dies saving a little girl from an attack by one of the animals and is buried on the planet Shanghalla. [2]

Duplicate Boy and Shrinking Violet break up after she is kidnapped by Imskian rebels and replaced with Durlan imposter Yera Allon. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

The Heroes of Lallor make a single appearance in post- Zero Hour Legion continuity. In Legionnaires #49 (June 1997), Beast Boy, Gas Girl, and Splitter appear in a single panel, being told they cannot help the Legion as they are needed on Lallor. Evolvo had previously been established as a member of Workforce. [9]

Shrinking Violet seemed to break up with Duplicate Boy and then marry Colossal Boy. It turned out, though, that this Violet was an impostor, as a Durlan named Yera had taken Violet's place.

On Lallor, Duplicate Boy helps with a construction accident when Shrinking Violet suddenly shows up and punches him. She's angry that when she figured out that someone was posing as her in the Legion, he never said anything to anyone about it.

The wildest story involves Duplicate Boy of the Heroes of Lallor flying halfway across the galaxy to punch Colossal Boy for stealing his ex. This story ends with two unresolved cliffhangers. First, something strange is going on with Shrinking Violet, but only Element Lad and Schvaugn notice. Second, Ontiir, the reptilian security office from 'Earthwar' returns on Weber's world, with seemingly sinister intent.
