It can't be coincidence that basing a superhero around colours makes for a lame superhero, but 3 years after Rainbow Girl's first appearance came Colour Kid. Color Kid was part of the Legion of Substitute Super-Heroes - a group of rejects that banded together to show the Legion of Super-Heroes that their powers weren't as useless as they thought. The fact that they had to prove that their powers weren't lame could only mean that their powers were lame. Color Kid's 'power' came from being zapped by a beam of multi-coloured light from another dimension whilst assisting a scientist on his home planet of Lupra. This beam of light gave him the ability to change the colour of any object - allowing him to confuse flying opponents by switching the colours of the sky and ground. Wow. It was rumoured that Color Kid was once able to complete an entire colouring book without ever going over the lines, but this claim was never proven. Color Kid eventually became Color King, but was then infected with 'Grandin Gender Reversal Disease' by Infectious Lass(!), and he became Colour Queen. But nobody really cared by that point.
