Who is Tinya Wazzo?

A native of the planet Bgztl, Tinya Wazzo was born with her world's innate ability to phase into another dimension, passing through solid matter and becoming virtually untouchable. She took the name Phantom Girl and joined the 30th-century Legion of Super-Heroes.

A Silver Age original with remarkable staying power, Tinya Wazzo made her debut in Action Comics #276 in 1961, brought to life by Robert Bernstein and Wayne Boring at the dawn of comics' most imaginative era. Over 64 years of DC publishing history, she has become a fixture of the far-future landscape, appearing across beloved series like Adventure Comics and Legion of Super-Heroes with fellow luminaries such as Saturn Girl, Imra Ardeen, Garth Ranzz, and Brainiac 5. With five key issues to her name and over a hundred catalogued appearances, she's the kind of character who rewards the dedicated collector who follows her across decades of continuity. If you love the grand, optimistic sweep of DC's Legion mythology, Tinya Wazzo is absolutely worth your time.
