Fictional character biography
Pre-Zero Hour
Grava of the Earth colony Extal is a long-time fan of Star Boy, and wants desperately to become a member of the Legion. As such, she enters the tail of a passing comet, gaining flaming hair and the ability to survive in the vacuum of space and generate "comet-like gases".
In Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #336 (June 1986), reserve Legionnaire Bouncing Boy describes to his comrade Superboy how he met Comet Queen while visiting the planet Quaal III. He rejected her initial bid for membership before saving her from the lava seas of Quaal and allowing her to become a student at the Legion Academy.
She is later recruited into a short-lived version of the Legion of Substitute Heroes, formed by Cosmic Boy to deal with special missions.[1] Other members of this group include Night Girl, Karate Kid, and her former teachers Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel.
Post-Zero Hour
Comet Queen makes two appearances after Zero Hour: Crisis in Time, in Legionnaires #43 (December 1996), and later as a member of the new Legion Academy in Legion #25.
Post-Infinite Crisis/52
Comet Queen appears in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #5 as one of several alternate universe Legionnaires recruited to fight the Time Trapper.
Comet Queen appears in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 7) #6 as a student of the Legion Academy.
Powers and abilities
After exposure to a comet's tail, Comet Queen gained the ability to fly, even in the vacuum of space. She can also emit a variety of noxious gases that can be used to stun an opponent.
