Changes: Lydda Jath (Pre-Zero Hour)

Night Girl is a native of the planet Kathoon, a world which is in perpetual darkness, heated by an internal power source. Lydda has super strength, given to her by her scientist father, but only at night or in deep shadow.

Legion of Super-Heroes

She at first unsuccessfully tried out for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes who rejected her^[1] on the basis that a power that only worked in darkness was impractical. After meeting fellow Legion reject Polar Boy, she became one of the founding members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes. While having powers with such a drastic limitation reduced her effectiveness as a superhero, she became quite skilled at martial arts. She had a crush on Cosmic Boy- which was her original, primary motive for leaving Kathoon and auditioning for the Legion.
