Kid Amazo is the name of two characters appearing in media published by DC Comics. Both are related to Amazo, with the first being a cyborg and the second being a human who wields Amazo armor.[1]

Fictional character biography

Kid Amazo is a cyborg created by mad scientist Professor Ivo, who seeks vengeance against the Justice League. He is given the human identity of Frank Halloran and forms a close relationship with Sara Shapiro, who, unbeknownst to him, is Ivo's daughter and the donor of his human DNA.

Kid Amazo attempts to become a superhero, but his failures lead him to become a supervillain instead. The Justice League's members defeat him by voluntarily arguing, destabilizing Kid Amazo's mind and causing him to explode.

Rebirth

A new Kid-Amazo, Reggie Meyer, appears in the DC Rebirth series Super-Sons, and was created by Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez.

Reggie's family was previously infected with the Amazo virus, giving them superpowers and enabling them to become superheroes. However, Reggie refuses to partake in their activities, obtains Amazo armor, and becomes a supervillain.[2][3][4][5]

Powers and abilities

The first Kid Amazo can mimic the abilities and minds of the Justice League's core members. This gives him superhuman strength, speed, invulnerability, flight, infrared vision, heat vision, x-ray vision, and a healing factor.

The Rebirth incarnation of Kid Amazo can duplicate himself and others, gaining increased strength the more clones he creates.
