History

Pre-Crisis

Tiger Girl originally tried out for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes, and though she made it into the finalists, ultimately she did not make the cut.

Undeterred, Tiger Girl joined the Legion Academy to better learn how to use her powers.

Five-Year Gap

The young woman codenamed Tiger Girl was a student during the 31st century at the Legion Academy where she was being taught how to fully understand how to utilize her animal based abilities alongside various fellow superpowered cadets.

After the so-called Five-Year Gap, the Legion Academy was renamed the United Planets Military Academy. Many old students remained and many new students joined, such as R3Z7, Ringtoss, Rush, Dragonfly, Jagged and Xera.

Equipment

As cadet of the Legion Academy/United Planets Military Academy, Dragonfly is allowed the use of a Legion Flight Ring. The ring gives its wearer the ability to fly, the speed and range of which is determined by the wearer's willpower. It also acts as a long-range communicator (enabling constant vocal contact with other Legionnaires, even across vast distances of space), a signal device, and a navigational compass, all powered by a micro-computer built inside the ring.
