Fictional character biography

Dream Boy, along with Brainiac 5, received a visit from Dream Girl while sleeping. She told him the Legion would use an extremely powerful Phantom Zone projector, built by Brainiac 5 and delivered by Mon-El, in their final move against the Dominators. At Cosmic Boy's demand, Dream Boy told the Legionnaires and the Wanderers that Brainiac 5 would build a bomb to kill the Dominators. The only people who knew the truth about the "bomb" were; Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Dream Boy, and Phantom Girl.

Dream Boy was the first to reveal to the Legionnaires Dream Girl's new existence in The Dreaming. Dream Boy was listed as "off duty" in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 5) #39.

Powers and abilities

Dream Boy has the ability to see visions of the future in his dreams. However, as a second class precognitive, he foresees events seconds to hours before they occur. Although he can also focus his visions on objects, such as predicting Brainiac's security codes.
