Not much is known of the character. She has a non-speaking role in Kingdom Come and for a while her origins were vague.She was originally conceived as the daughter of Brainiac I and this was published on publicity materials at the time.

However with the comics' theme of the next generation of superheroes at odds with their parents, many thought she was the daughter of Legion lovers, Supergirl and Brainiac 5. Later trade paperback collections and special editions list the Legion origin as correct.
