History
Blue Jay was a former member of the Champions of Angor. His real name was Jay Abrams. He could shrink to seven inches tall, and grow blue wings which allowed him to fly. He survived the destruction of his home world of Angor, then he came to Earth, where he was a member of the Justice League for a while, and was even the leader of the European branch of the League.
The three primary members of the Champions of Angor to survive the trip to Earth were Blue Jay, Silver Sorceress, and Wandjina.
Blue Jay was frequently regarded during his tenure in the JLI as its weakest member, and was often treated as an inferior hero who spent most of his time wracked with self-doubt. At one point, he was flung into the future and turned down for membership to the Legion of Super Heroes because he was "just Shrinking Violet with Wings". His inclusion as a member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes only became the newest version of a punchline that kept getting repeated ad nauseum.
Following the death of Silver Sorceress, Blue Jay became the sole survivor of Angor. He was kidnapped by acquisitive aliens, along with several other metahumans (including Superman, Livewire, and Aquaman). [1]Powers and Abilities
