Laurel Gand was a Daxamite superheroine, and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. She is descended from the 20th Century hero Valor. As a Daxamite, she gains superhuman powers and abilities from being near a yellow sun, rendering her a vastly above average combatant. Laurel first appeared as a side-effect of the time-altering Glorith recreating the universe in her own image.[1]
As a child Laurel lived with her parents on one of the orbiting space stations that, amongst other things, served a line of defense against invasion. Her mother, the station commander, insisted that Laurel know how to operate the station's weapons, training that proved critical when the Khunds attacked. Laurel was able to activate the defenses, utterly destroying the Khundian fleet and earning her both their fear and their enmity. She was declared an enemy of the Khundish empire. To ensure her safety, she was given a secret identity and sent to Earth where her Daxamite physiology would help protect her. Shortly afterward, she was invited to join the fledgling Legion of Super-Heroes.[2]
Laurel's career in the Legion was long-lived and successful, and during her tenure, she even began a relationship with and eventually married long-time Legion ally Rond Vidar. The two of them had a daughter, which they named Lauren. After sustaining massive injuries from a battle against Khunds,[3] she died[4] and was buried along with all of the other dead Legionnaires on Shanghalla.[5] Shortly afterwards, she was erased from history entirely during Zero Hour.[6]
