Klint Stewirt, aka Golden Boy, once tried to audition for the Legion of Super-Heroes. He has the power to turn whatever he touched into solid gold. Klint was rejected on the grounds that he would bring down the value of gold. Golden Boy's powers evolved over time and turned his entire body into solid gold..
Golden Boy then joined the Xenophobic superhero group called the Justice League of Earth The team consist of Earth-born Legion rejects obsessed with spreading lies about Superman's origin. They believe that Superman was human and that all aliens should be deported from the planet. The team consisted of leader Earth Man, Spider-Girl, Tusker, Storm Boy, and Radiation Roy.
The Legion defeated the team with the help of Superman, and they were sent to Takron-Galtos, the prison planet.
When Superboy-Prime returned, he freed the inmates of Takron-Galtos and formed a new Legion of Super-Villains, which included the Fatal Five and the Justice League of Earth.
Tusker and the Justice League of Earth attacked the United Planets Government Complex in Metropolis. The League was going to kill the President of Earth, "for crimes against humanity", but Tusker and the team are electrocuted by Legionnaire Lightning Lad.
