Fictional character biography
Meta Ulnoor is from Titan, the moon of Saturn, in the 30th century. Like other natives of Titan (including Legionnaire Saturn Girl), she is a natural telepath. After being rejected for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes due to a rule prohibiting members with duplicate powers, she joins a group of fellow rejects and demands membership. Calling themselves the "Legion of Super-Rejects", they are initially victorious over their like-powered rivals. Esper Lass and the Super-Rejects are eventually defeated.[1][2]
Esper Lass later appears as a member of the Legion of Super-Villains.[3] In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, she attacks Saturn Girl alongside Saturn Queen, but is defeated by the Saturn Girl of Earth-Prime.[4][5]
