Fictional character biography

Rainbow Girl is a metahuman from the planet Xolnar who intends to join the Legion of Super-Heroes to further her ambition of becoming a holovid actress. [2] She wins a trip to Metropolis where Legion tryouts are being held, but is rejected during her audition. [1] Rather than return to Xolnar, Dori marries Irveang Polamar, a socialite from Metropolis, and joins the Legion of Substitute Heroes. [2]

Dori later works with the Substitute heroes to form a resistance when Earth becomes a closed-off and xenophobic society. They ultimately succeed and save Earth from the Justice League of Earth, an alien coalition. [3]

Powers and abilities

Rainbow Girl can harness all colors of the emotional spectrum, including red, blue, and green. [4] [5] However, this also causes her emotions to change unpredictably. In her first appearance, she could generate a pheromone field resembling a rainbow, making her irresistible to others.
