Biography[edit | hide | hide all]
A Legend[edit | hide]
At some point of his life, Mick Rory joined the Legends and had a bond with the Waverider's A.I. Leonard. Later, the team disbanded after one of their members died. Rory took the ship as his residence and tried to be a romance novelist with self-published works such as Caged Passion.[2]
Crisis on Infinite Earths[edit | hide]

During the Crisis, Harbinger went to Earth-74 to use the supposedly abandoned Waverider. However, her assumption was incorrect and was greeted by Leonard. As she talked to him, Rory appeared with his Heat and Cold Gun, threatening to kill her. Harbinger told him she thought the ship was abandoned. Rory told her that an unnamed Legend died, which caused the team to disband, leaving the ship to Rory. Leonard then told her that Rory is trying to be a romance novelist, which resulted in an argument. Harbinger stopped the both of them and promised Rory that he can drink plenty of beer if he agreed to lend the Waverider to the heroes of Earth-1.[2]
Taking Care of Jonathan[edit | hide]
As Rory joins the heroes of Earth-1 for The Monitor's meeting, Jonathan Kent started to cry and interrupted The Monitor's speech. Lois Lane failed to calm him down and passed to her husband. As he failed, he passed on to Kara and eventually to Rory. Rory smiled at the baby and calmed him down. Lane then told Rory to leave for Jonathan to sleep.[2]
When Ray Palmer tried to build a Paragon Detector, Rory read his novel to Jonathan. Palmer then told him that he needed a quiet place to work, and the book did not sound too "kid-friendly". Rory objected and told him that kids love it. He carries Jonathan out and kept on reading the book.[2]
As Clark Kent of Earth-96 arrives, Rory passed Jonathan back to Lane.[2]
