Say Hello to Color Kid
Color Kid (DC Comics) is described as an alien hero with lame powers which have the potential to be devastating.
He derived his powers from a comic ray that lets him change the color of anything permanently. When he changes the color of an object, his powers also permanently alter the properties within that object. This is of notable importance as seen in his comics, he modified Green Kryptonite into Blue Kryptonite to save Superman and Supergirl from the horrible side effects of Green Krypotnite as it can be deadly. In Mooose_0’s video other problematic applications would be to convert Guy Gardner from a Green Lantern to a Red lantern. Other examples of this would be to turn everyday objects gold, which would modify the object to become actual gold. It could also be used for simple Tom Foolery such as, changing peoples milk brown, transmuting it into chocolate milk. Are you snacking on red skittles? Well now it’s orange. The applications of his powers are essentially endless for both good and bad.
Color kid, a.k.a Ulu Vakk, later refined his powers throughout his comics and eventually learned more skills such as: Holographic Projection, Darkness Manipulation, Illusion Casting, Light projection and Chameleon abilities. Because of his status as a legionnaire, he has a flight ring which gives him the ability of flight. With the progression of his abilities, it is fair to say he would make an admirable opponent.
A factoid worth noting, in Comics Ulu Vakk contracted a disease called “Grandin Gender Reversal Disease” which transformed Color Kid into Color Queen. With her rainbow inspired super-suit, brilliant powers and being transgender, I feel Color Queen deserves a renewed comic run. We are in need of new Queer representation in both Marvel and DC content and Ulu Vakk is a colorful candidate.
