History

Professor Elton Morrow was exploring in the Antarctic when he found an enormous diamond which glowed with a blue light. He returned to the US via a ship, but when the ship entered the North Atlantic it was torpedoed by a U-boat. Morrow grabbed the box the diamond was in and used it as a flotation device, but the U-boat saw him and machine gunnned him, blowing up the box and the diamond and embedding the fragments of the diamond into his body. This gave him a mostly-diamond body, which made him bulletproof, mostly invulnerable, and superstrong. He used these powers to fight crime and evil. The Blue Diamond's diamond was actually a sliver of a Lifestone, a power gem created to form an evolutionarily advanced group of the Guardians of the Galaxy; other figures who had slivers of the Lifestone included Man-Wolf, Moonstone, the Basilisk, Ulysses Bloodstone, Dr. Spectrum, and the Sphinx.[2]

Contents

During World War Two he served as a member of the Liberty Legion. The Diamond, in costume, attended the funeral of Union Jack (II).[3] The Diamond was in retirement on Cape Cod, having grown old though his powers remained. He was visited by the Star-Dancer and apotheosized by her, and left with her for outer space. [4] Later, the Star-Dancer was captured by the alien the Stranger after she and the Diamond left Earth; what happened to the Diamond is not known.[5]
