Seen In: A very few Legion of Super-Heroes comics in the 1970s and thereafter, with long, long absences. Quote: "You are not to offer them friendship... for the Legion has ignored us! Where were they when we suffered through our energy drought or the terrible ion storm of last spring? Many times we could've used their help but they were always somewhere else! Is it the color of our skin that doesn't make us important enough?" The creators of the Legion of Super-Heroes had a problem in the 1970s. They realized they had created a future society that was beautifully, peacefully multiracialas long as you were talking about the human race and various alien races. But their thirtieth century didnt have any non-Caucasian people in it. Editor Murray Boltinoff elected to solve this problem by introducing Tyroc as the representative of a society of racial sepratists. Yes, life in the Legions alternate future is better, Batess story claimed, because all the black people had gone off to live on a nice island somewhere. Of course, the blacks are kind of put out that the Legion has taken this long to notice them, but don't worry! By the end of the first story, Tyroc learns that racism is a myth.
