a close analogue of the Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Legion of Super-Heroes to continuity, as seen in "The Lightning Saga" story arc in Justice League of America and Justice Society of America, and in the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" story arc in Action Comics. Night Girl is included in their number (although she was never a member of the Pre-Crisis Legion). Her relationship with Rokk Krinn never fully blossomed into a full romance, as Cosmic Boy states that he chose to sacrifice his chance at a personal life to ensure that his best friends, fellow founders Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, could have one together. Besides working with the Legion, Night Girl serves as one of the instructors at the Legion Academy. Powers and abilities Night Girl has the powers of superstrength equivalent to that of Superboy or Mon-El and durability (though not quite at Kryptonian levels), but only in darkness or deep shadow. Her powers fade immediately in the presence of direct sunlight. Killing (or at least heavily injuring) creatures made of tangible shadow seemingly allows her to temporarily absorb their essence into herself and convert it into superstrength. Since her superpowers are often unavailable, she has trained extensively and is a very capable hand-to-hand combatant. In other media NIGHT GIRL at the LEGION Collection Night Girl appeared in two episodes of the Legion of Super Heroes animated series, "Lightning Storm" and "The Substitute". Both appearances were non-speaking.
