Tal Nahii

A Bronze Age creation from the legendary partnership of Jim Shooter and Curt Swan, Tal Nahii made their debut in 1976's Limited Collectors' Edition #C-49 — a collector's format befitting a character who would quietly endure across nearly two decades of DC continuity. With appearances spanning into the mid-'90s and a foothold in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Tal Nahii earned enough recognition to be considered part of the fabric of DC's far-future mythology. The company here is rarefied: sharing pages with the likes of Salu Digby, Mysa Nal, and Gas Girl places Tal Nahii squarely in the rich, sprawling world of Legion of Super-Heroes storytelling. Five appearances may be a modest count, but one of them carries key-issue status — reason enough for any serious Legion enthusiast to take notice.
