Young Kyro was Green Lantern's Venusian helper and friend, who follows Hal Jordan (who he refers to as "Boss") across the galaxy assisting him in any way he could, despite having no powers of his own.
He met Jordan during one of his adventures, and was one of the few people on Earth to know his dual identity. Something of a mechanic, he helped repair a number of Jordan's devices like his plane, and on one occasion fixed his lantern battery by hitting it. He has no way of maneuvering through space on his own, so he rides on Jordan's back through the cosmos.
Notes[]
- Kyro has never appeared in a DC Comics publication.
- He is the alien sidekick of DC Comics' Silver Age Green Lantern Hal Jordan
- He was first featured in the 1967 Filmation animated series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.
- The character was voiced by Paul Frees and Ted Knight.
- He is featured in all the Green Lantern shorts made during the show's short run.
- Kyro was created as a replacement for Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku, Hal Jordan's comics sidekick, because "Pieface" was a racial slur and might have offended viewers.
