Fictional character biography
Like Legion founder Cosmic Boy, Dyrk Magz is a Braalian who possesses power over magnetism. He is the first candidate to distinguish himself at the tryouts held by the Legion. Although acting leader Live Wire is reluctant to recruit a replacement for Cosmic Boy, who is stranded in the 20th century, Dyrk's quick thinking and willingness to take action earn him a place in the Legion and the codename Magno.His service in the Legion is short-lived. After successfully deterring several rejected applicants' attempt at re-opening the newly filled membership slots, Magno and the other two new recruits, Sensor and Umbra, join the rest of the Legion in battling Mordru. In the following battle with Mordru, Magno loses his powers for unknown reasons.
Dyrk returns home to Braal, but is unable to cope with the loss of his powers. Eventually, Live Wire convinces Dyrk to return to the Legion by offering the newly finished Outpost Allon as a neutral ground that he can stay on. After the time-lost Legionnaires return from the 20th century, Dyrk joins the Outpost's support staff, handling monitor duty and administration.
