Fictional biography
Original continuity
Shvaughn Erin is an officer of the Science Police who helps the Legion of Super-Heroes battle Mordru, the Khunds, and the Dark Circle during the "Earthwar".[3] Afterwards, she becomes the Police's liaison to the Legion and begins a relationship with Element Lad,[4][5] a character whose sexual orientation had previously been ambiguous, and many readers had interpreted as gay.[1][6]
"Five Years Later"
In The Terra Mosaic storyline, Shvaughn breaks up with Element Lad.[7] It is revealed that she is a transgender woman and was originally named Sean Erin.[8][9][10] Deprived of the medication Profem – which transforms her physical appearance to female – she reverts to presenting as male.[1]
Post-Zero Hour
In post-Zero Hour continuity, Shvaughn Erin is again a female Science Police officer. Shrinking Violet, controlled by the Emerald Eye of Ekron, transports Shvaughn and several others to the 20th century before they eventually return home.[11][12]
