Who is Kono?

Kono is a young woman who joined the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century, a far-future team of super-powered heroes headquartered on Earth. She possesses a roguish, streetwise personality and the ability to manipulate the density of objects around her.

Bursting onto the DC scene in 1991 courtesy of the creative team of Keith Giffen, Tom Bierbaum, and Jason Pearson, Kono is a Copper Age addition to the rich, sprawling mythology of the Legion of Super-Heroes — one of DC's most beloved far-future franchises. Sharing adventures with luminaries like Dream Girl, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, and Reep Daggle, Kono moves in genuinely elite Legion company. Her appearances span a remarkable stretch from 1991 all the way to 2025 across titles like Legion of Super-Heroes, Legionnaires, and the collected DC Finest: Zero Hour, marking her as a figure with real staying power in the Legion's ever-evolving universe. A discovery waiting to happen for any fan looking to dig deeper into the Legion's Copper Age era.
