Who is Lesla-Lar?

Lesla-Lar is a Kandorian scientist from the bottled city of Kandor who schemes to steal Supergirl's powers and identity, posing as a dangerous adversary during the early Silver Age Supergirl stories.

A Silver Age schemer born from the imagination of Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney, Lesla-Lar made her mark in the pages of Action Comics in 1961, stepping into a DC universe already electric with capes and cosmic possibility. She's a character whose footprint spans an impressive stretch of comics history β€” from the early Supergirl era right through to modern collections like DC Finest: Supergirl: The Girl of Steel β€” sharing panels with some of the most iconic figures in the DC pantheon, including Supergirl, Superman, and Batman. With only 14 catalog appearances, she's a rare find rather than a household name, the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes longtime collectors grin. If you love the Silver Age at its most inventive and want to explore the corners of Supergirl's world beyond the obvious, Lesla-Lar is absolutely worth seeking out.
