[net.comics] Who is Sensor Girl? A guess <spoiler?>

cje@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU (Ernst @ Sanctum Sanctorum) (01/27/86)

My guess is that she's Satan Girl, a Supergirl-clone/duplicate/whatever
who fought the Legion early in their career and was de-powered by exposure
to gold kryptonite.  I haven't gone to the trouble of checking for clues
that would prove this, but (WARNING! LOGICAL FALLACY APPROACHING!) my track
record is pretty good for Levitz/Legion mysteries: I knew Darkseid was
behind the Great Darkness, and figured the shooting of Laurel Kent and the
killing of the PI who was descended from Batman were both committed by a
(descendant of a) JLA villain (although I think Levitz and Giffen copped out
by not naming a specific villain whose Modus Operandi could have been 
recognized).

Unfortunately for me, it'll be a least a year before I read the issue wherein
All Is Revealed.  DC's recent price hike for their deluxe comics forced me
to choose the cheaper (half-price now!) non-glossy "reprints" of the Legion,
the Outsiders, and the Teen Titans.  (And I'll probably forego the 
disappointing Infinity, Inc., until I can pick up back issues in local bargain
bins.)

I think it's fairly safe to say that Sensor Girl is NOT a Kryptonian unless
she is a direct descendant of Superman. One must remember that John Byrne
has decided that there is one, and only one, survivor of Krypton and his
name is Kal-El. Thus it becomes rather difficult for Sensor Girl to be a
Kryptonian. I do believe, though, that we shall soon find out which was the
parent world and which is the colony with regard to Krypton and Daxam. Then
again, Mon-El's antidote isn't working that well and the phantom zone is
going away, also thanks to Byrne. Perhaps they mean to destroy Daxam? Then
too, what are they going to do about Dev-Em? There was, after all, only one
survivor of Krypton...
