Rose Forrest is a woman with multiple personalities who lived for over a millennium.
History
Early Life
Rose Forrest was a woman who inside of her housed the aggressive persona of Thorn whom usually destroyed everything around her with Rose having no recollection of said events once she got control back of her body. Over the next years, Lex Luthor would develop a cure for her situation, but due to being an at-birth cure, people stopped having said condition and the cure was discontinued. Knowing that without the cure she could turn back into a psychopath once she ran out of it, she sought the help of President Supergirl, who also realized that Rose hadn't aged, as her husband died long ago while she still looked very young. While Supergirl reassured her that everything was going to be okay, this didn't stop Thorn from coming out.
In the future, Thorn was wreaking havoc on Neo-Gotham until she encountered Batman, whom she promptly knocked out. Believing this to be the same Batman from the past, Rose strapped the hero to a chair and asked him why he kept being a hero. Realizing that this Batman was a new guy called Terry McGinnis, she felt disappointed and left. Many years later, in a post-apocalyptic Earth, Rose stole Superman's suit, which had become a precious artifact, from a primate village in response to rumors that wearing it would give a person the famed hero's abilities. Realizing that the rumors were false, she started being chased by Kamandi until she lost him. Even further in the timeline, an unhinged Rose tried to convince Tommy Tomorrow to let her join the Planeteers in order to get off the planet, this unfortunately caught the attention of the Science Police, who started to chase Rose.[1]
On the 25th Century, Rose was looking at the exihbits of the Space Museum when she met Michael Carter, an avid fan of the 20th and 21th Century. Years later, Thorn encountered OMAC after she beat a few members of the Intercorp. Further into the future, Rose finally left Earth and traveled into space, much to Thorn's anger, the two eventually reached the Vega System.[2]
Legion of Super-Heroes
On the 31st Century, Rose finally understood her purpose as she returned to Earth. She entered the Headquarters of the newly formed Legion of Super-Heroes to tell them about her situation.[2]
