Who is Nightwind?

Nightwind is a Legion of Super-Heroes supporting character from the 30th century who possesses wind-based powers. She competed in Legion tryouts but failed to earn full membership, leaving her among the many hopeful applicants who orbit the Legion without joining its ranks.

Nightwind made her entrance into the DC Universe in 1981, debuting in the pages of The Legion of Super-Heroes #272 β€” a Bronze Age arrival brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of Gerry Conway and Steve Ditko. Though her catalog footprint is intimate, spanning just a handful of appearances across three decades, she turns up in some genuinely significant corners of Legion lore, including Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes β€” the kind of encyclopedic recognition reserved for characters worth remembering. Collectors will want to note that one of her appearances carries key-issue status, and sharing pages with luminaries like Saturn Girl speaks to the rarefied company she keeps in DC's far-future corner of the cosmos.
