Living Diamond is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography

The Living Diamond was a criminal whose latent mutations were activated by exposure to atomic radiation, which gave him flexible living diamond-like hands and telepathic and teleportational powers. After further exposure to radiation, his entire body took on the same diamond-like properties.

He encountered a young Scott Summers. He tried to convince Scott to join him in a life of crime, but Professor X intervened. The Professor used an ultrasonic vibration inducer to subdue the Living Diamond, but when the Living Diamond resisted he exploded and was killed. [X-Men #42]

Years later, when Black Talon was battling She-Hulk he formed the X-Humed from four dead mutants Changeling, Scaleface, Living Diamond and Harry Leland but was unable to control all of them at once and Changeling was able to break his hold long enough for She-Hulk to triumph. ["Sensational She-Hulk" #34-35 (1991-1992)]
