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.[1] She wins a trip to Metropolis where Legion tryouts are being held, but is rejected during her audition.[2][3] Rather than return to Xolnar, Dori marries Irveang Polamar, a socialite from Metropolis, and joins the Legion of Substitute Heroes.[1][3][4]
Dori works with the Substitute heroes to form a resistance when Earth becomes a closed-off and xenophobic society. They end up saving Earth from the Justice League of Earth, an alien coalition.[5]
