History

Professor Elton Morrow was exploring in the Antarctic when he found an enormous diamond which glowed with a blue light. He returned to the US via a ship, but when the ship entered the North Atlantic it was torpedoed by a U-boat. Morrow grabbed the box the diamond was in and used it as a flotation device, but the U-boat saw him and machine gunnned him, blowing up the box and the diamond and embedding the fragments of the diamond into his body. This gave him a mostly-diamond body, which made him bulletproof, mostly invulnerable, and superstrong. He used these powers to fight crime and evil. The Blue Diamond's diamond was actually a sliver of a Lifestone, a power gem created to form an evolutionarily advanced group of the Guardians of the Galaxy; other figures who had slivers of the Lifestone included Man-Wolf, Moonstone, the Basilisk, Ulysses Bloodstone, Dr. Spectrum, and the Sphinx.^[1]
