History[]

Earth-1A[]

In 1972, Tom commanded the first spaceflight to Sargasso, a nearby planetoid. Although it was never his intention to land there, as that wasn't his mission, he was merely testing out a new spacecraft.

Still, his spacecraft was dragged down to the surface by Sirena's magnetic ray. He was rescued by Green Lantern.[2]

Notes[]

  • Tom first appeared in Green Lantern, Vol. 2 #2 (October, 1960).[3]
  • On Earth-One, Pieface was Hal Jordan's sidekick. On Earth-1A, Kyro is his primary helper.
  • The name "Pieface" was never used due to its' sounding like a racial slur. He is simply referred to as "Tom."
