Ol-Vir is asupervillain appearing in media published byDC Comics. He first appeared inLegion of Super-Heroes (vol. 2) #294 (December 1982), and is often depicted as a member of theLegion of Super-Villains.
In the 30th century,Darkseid steals the abilities ofMordru and theTime Trapper, using them to enthrall the entire population of the planetDaxam. He then transports Daxam to a star system with a yellow sun, giving all of the Daxamites powers equivalent to those ofSuperman. The enslaved Daxamites wreak havoc throughoutUnited Planets territory, with one of them – a child named Ol-Vir – attacking the prison planetTakron-Galtos.Legion of Super-Heroes memberChameleon Boy contains Ol-Vir by placing him into a cell withValidus. The Legion engages Darkseid in battle, eventually causing him to lose his control over the Daxamites and retreat.[1]
Sometime later,Nemesis Kid leads theLegion of Super-Villains in a coordinated assault on the Legion of Super-Heroes. Ol-Vir leads Validus in an attack upon the Legion, persuading the monster to destroy married LegionnairesLightning Lad andSaturn Girl. During this battle, Saturn Girl realizes that Validus is her son Garridan, who was secretly stolen at birth and transformed by Darkseid.[a] Disgusted by Ol-Vir's failure, Darkseid kills him. Out of respect for Saturn Girl's strength of will, Darkseid restores Validus to his normal form.[2]
Ol-Vir is resurrected following theInfinite Crisis event, which restores an analogue of the Legion's original continuity. Now an adult, he participates in a massive assault on the Legion bySuperboy-Prime and the Legion of Super-Villains.[3]

Generally, the abilities of Ol-Vir (and other Daxamites) are identical to those of Superman and otherKryptonians (super-strength; speed; flight; x-ray, heat, microscopic and telescopic vision powers; invulnerability and super hearing). However, they are vulnerable tolead rather thanKryptonite.
