Byron Stark, alias Half-Life was an average 1950's teenager until he was killed by the wreck of an alien spaceship.

He wasn't dead for long however, as Byron was brought back to life by the alien matter that leaked from the ship onto half his body, or at least about halfway. The strange glowing ectoplasmic slime now makes up about half of his body. He has vowed revenge against the aliens for the death of his girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time.

Half-Life ended up becoming part of Superboy's Ravers team. At some point he also managed to win an alien motorcycle in a game of truth or dare.
