Fictional character biography
Elton T. Morrow was an archeologist who found a mysterious blue diamond on an expedition to Antarctica. The diamond was a piece of the Lifestone Tree, which powered the alien Chosen Eight of Fate. A German sub attacked Morrow's ship on the way home and Morrow was the only survivor. An explosion had shattered the diamond during the battle, forcing innumerable tiny diamond particles into Morrow's body. After he was rescued by a British ship, he found that the shards of the diamond gifted him with diamond-hard skin, giving him superhuman strength and nigh-invulnerability. Dubbing himself the Blue Diamond, he battled Nazi spies during World War II as part of the Liberty Legion, although he soon retired. He revived the role in modern times to assist the Fantastic Four's Thing against Shanga, who fell in love with Blue Diamond, and turned him into a living humanoid diamond creature as her consort.[1] After Shanga was captured by the Stranger, Morrow returned to Earth to join the new Invaders.
