The Coming of the Liberty Legion part TEN....Meet The Blue Diamond

The Next file that was perused by The Patriotic heroes was that of the archaeologist Dr Elton T Morrow who had discovered what was then considered the largest Diamond ever discovered. In fact many years later it was discovered that this Blue Diamond was a fragment of an ancient artifact formed after the Big Bang. Called the Lifestone Tree, over the years many of its fragments had empowered many individuals on earth and out in the Universe.

However, back our story...... Upon finding the Stone in the late 1930's in Antarctica, Dr Morrow decided to take it back to his native country of America where we could study it better. On the ocean voyage home, the ship carrying the Diamond was attacked by a German U Boat.  The torpedo that struck the Ship triggered a massive explosion. This in turn shattered the priceless stone in smaller fine pieces that many of which got in bedded in the skin and body of Elton Morrow.

Weeks later Dr Morrow was picked up floating in the ocean by a British Ship. No one could believe that he had survived such a long time out on the sea, but soon it became apparent that the Elton Morrow had been changed by the experience.

Firstly he discovered his skin was unable to be cut or pieced, also he found he had super strength. He found he could punch holes through walls. Also he found he did not have to breath at all and he did not need to eat to survive. Although he did breath and eat, he did this just to appear normal.

Later in life he would discover that the Blue Diamond fragments had affected his ageing  process. He did age, but a much much slower rate

Believing that his new gifts could be an asset to the War Effort, Dr Morrow retired from his scientific studies and offered his "Super Human" abilities to the world, Calling himself the Blue Diamond.

This is how the Blue Diamond first appeared in Daring Mystery Comics Issue 7# back in 1941

For the 1970's Liberty Legion The Blue Diamond only got at small make over. A new Mask and a Belt was all the artist decided needed changing.

Here is a look at the Blue Diamond in action discovering a Nazi secret base under the streets of NYC

On the Whole the Blue Diamond stayed the same in the retro fitted history of the Liberty Legion.

Here is a final look at our hero

Next time another Hero destined to become a member of the Liberty Legion.
