He has gone by a variety of superhero names over the past several decades, although originally (and most commonly) Colossal Boy. His name's similarity to the standard Israeli surname Allon led writer Paul Levitz to identify the character as Jewish in 1980.
In the 1990s, the entirety of the Legion of Super-Heroes were changed in what is referred to as a "reboot" of those characters' continuity, including Allon. Later on, these superheroes were again rebooted in what has been referred to as the "Threeboot".
