Lyla Michaels

Lyla Michaels is a DC character who debuted in The New Teen Titans Annual #2 (1983), later affiliated with the New Guardians and the Amazons of Themyscira. She became a cosmic herald-like figure connected to the Monitor during the events leading up to the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Born from the creative minds of George Pérez and Marv Wolfman in The New Teen Titans Annual #2 (1983), Lyla Michaels arrived at one of DC's most electric moments — the Bronze Age, when the publisher was boldly reshaping its universe. She's become inseparably linked to some of DC's grandest, most cosmically ambitious storytelling, appearing most prominently in Crisis on Infinite Earths and The New Guardians, and sharing pages with titans of the DC pantheon including Superman, Green Lantern, and The Flash. With two key collector issues to her name and a presence that has endured from 1983 all the way to 2025, Lyla Michaels is a character whose quiet significance to DC's biggest chapters makes her well worth seeking out.
