History
After watching too much television as a child, Tom Doodle found he had no job skills whatsoever and so became a superhero. He joined the LNH around the time of the Cosmic Plot Device Caper, and stayed on for the long haul, becoming a regular fixture in the Legion's rec room.

When Miss Translation came to the Loonivearth to warn the LNH about the Remimykii, Time-Waster Lad spent a bunch of time sitting around, figuring out how to understand her. After she joined the LNH, he became her de facto partner, the relaxed and methodical one to her tendency to leap before she looked, and kept an eye on The Normalizer and the weirdos they gathered around them. Unfortunately, Miss Translation and the rest of said weirdos were kicked out of the LNH, and Time-Waster Lad stayed behind...
During the Infinite Leadership Cry.sig, like every other member of the Legion, he became leader for a day – a day that involved facing off against the Time Crapper and Mother Time alongside Burst Beetle Tweseveny!
