Who is Tellus?

Tellus is a telepathic and telekinetic alien from the aquatic world of Hykraius who joined the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century, representing one of the more exotic non-humanoid members of that far-future team.

Tellus swam into DC Comics lore in 1986, debuting in the pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe β€” a fittingly grand stage for a character born in the Copper Age of comics. Over a thirty-year publishing span, this aquatic alien has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures alongside Legion luminaries like Timber Wolf, Invisible Kid, and Ayla Ranzz across Legion of Super-Heroes and Adventure Comics. With 21 catalog appearances stretching into 2016, Tellus is one of those quietly enduring figures who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the deeper corners of DC's far-future mythology β€” a distinctive, otherworldly presence in one of comics' most beloved sci-fi universes.
