Fictional character biography
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 a lava sea and allowing her to become a student at the Legion Academy.
Comet Queen later joins a short-lived incarnation 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.
Following the Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! reboot, Comet Queen makes minor appearances in Legionnaires, Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, and the 2021 one-shot Tis the Season to Be Freezin', where she dates Polar Boy.[2]
Powers and abilities
