Ferro Lad is a fictional character, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the thirtieth century of the DC Universe. He is Andrew Nolan of Earth. He has the power to transform himself to living iron. He has a twin brother named Douglas who has the same power. Both twins have deformed faces as a side effect of the mutation that gave them their powers and so both wear iron masks. He first appeared in Adventure Comics #346 (July 1966), he joined at the same time as Princess Projectra, Karate Kid (comics) and Nemesis Kid.
Ferro Lad was only a Legionnaire for a short time when he was killed destroying the Sun Eater with a bomb. His self sacrifice to save the galaxy made him legendary, despite his short tenure as a Legionnaire.
In post-Zero Hour continuity he is known as Ferro and comes from 20th century Earth. He met the Legion while some of its members were stranded in the 20th century for a time and returned with them to the 30th century. Unlike his pre-ZH counterpart, he was never killed.
