Who is Light Lass?

Ayla Ranzz of the planet Winath gained the ability to make objects weightless after her twin brother Lightning Lad's lightning powers were transferred to her. She joined the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century under the name Light Lass.

Few Silver Age heroines carry quite the cosmic pedigree of Light Lass, who made her debut in 1965 courtesy of Otto Binder and Kurt Schaffenberger in the pages of Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane β€” an intriguing launchpad for a character who would go on to call the far-future adventures of Adventure Comics and Legion of Super-Heroes her true home. Sharing the page across the decades with luminaries like Lightning Lad, Ayla Ranzz, Garth Ranzz, Reep Daggle, and even Green Lantern, she's woven into the rich tapestry of DC's most ambitious corner of the universe. With four key-issue appearances flagging her as collector-significant and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2021 β€” a remarkable 56-year span β€” she's no footnote but a genuine thread of continuity through Silver Age optimism and beyond. If you're tracing the deep roots of DC's Legion mythology, Light Lass is absolutely worth seeking out.
