Legion Lore
Mon-El
Lar Gan was born on the planet Daxam in the 20th Century. He was a space traveler in his youth and visited Superboy on Earth in the 1950s. Much like Superboy, Lar was born under a red sun, so under Earth's yellow sun, he gained all the powers Superboy had. He was initally amnesic, and so Superboy thought he was from Krypton, and as he arrived on a Monday, he gave him a name from his Kryptonian family: Mon-El.
However, it turns out Daxamite are allergic to lead like Kryptonians are to Kryptonite, and Mon-El got a lethal dose of it. He would have died, had Superboy not sent him into the Phantom Zone, until a cure could be found.
Mon-El spent the next 1000 years floating as a ghost in the Phantom Zone. Legion member Brainiac 5 creates a serum that provides a long time cure to the lead poisoning, Mon-El is freed permanently from the Phantom Zone, and joins the Legion.
He had all the superpowers of Superboy, and along with Superboy, Supergirl and Ultra Boy became one of THE most powerful members of the team. He was with the team for a long time, striking up a relationship with fellow member Shadow Lass, which led later on to their marriage.
