Long Shadow claims to have been born unusually small and his parents, being scientists, developed a growth formula that in time gave him the power to become a giant. He later learned that these had been implanted memories and he had only been alive for about a year.

Unlike the rest of the group who had been enjoying their own fame and popularity, Long Shadow earnestly wanted to join the Justice League. His efforts were several times rebuffed by his teammates, who in general mocked him for it. After finding out the truth about their origins, he and the other Ultimen rebelled and tried to find out the truth. Unlike the others who went on a rampage, Long Shadow did what he could to begin rescuing civilians trapped in the office building that the Ultimen were attacking.

During the ensuing battle he was forced to choose sides against his teammates and the Justice League. In the end he was able to convince Wind Dragon to stand down. When Amanda Waller showed up to take the captured Ultimen away, Long Shadow chose to stay with the Justice League. It is unknown what other activities Long Shadow engaged in afterwards, or even how long he lived due to his cellular breakdown. An earlier estimate by Dr. Hamilton gave him as little time as a month. Given the wide variety of super geniuses on the Justice League, it is possible that the process could have been reversed.
