Origins:

Libra was born Justin Ballantine, he lost his mother at the age of eight due to an alcoholic pharmacist incorrectly measuring the medicine his mother needed. Soon after his father turned to alcoholism himself and brutally abused Justin regularly. Justin would later use all the money he had to buy a telescope so that he could stargaze and imagine a better life among the stars. His father came to the roof and threatened to beat him with his telescope one night but he lost his balance and fell to his death, which left Justin with the unhealthy idea that "life is just a matter of balance".

Studying hard, he was given a scholarship to Opal University, where he took the class of his personal idol: Ted Knight, formerly the hero Starman. Based on Knight's idea that the stars were possessed of boundless energy, Ballantine built a special device designed to create a "cosmic balance", draining half an object's power and transferring it to the wielder of the device, with technology based upon stolen blueprints of the Gravity Rod. He then called it an "Energy Transmortifier". Adopting the identity of Libra he became the secret founder of the group of super-villains named the Injustice Gang
