Irma Ardeen is a founding member and former leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th and 31st centuries. Like all of her people, Saturn Girl is a gifted telepath. Was the first ever female character to lead a super-team in comic book history. Imra Ardeen was born on Titan, where all people have telepathy. She trained to be a Science Police officer but fate intervened when she joined three other teens in stopping an assassination attempt on billionaire R.J. Brande. Inspired by the legacy of Superboy, Brande bankrolled the three teens and they became the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Taking the name Saturn Girl, she has a selfless tenure. Saturn Girl's powers in her initial Silver Age appearances appeared to be great: she could summon distant people; intrude human, electronic, and animal minds; "push" weakened minds, and even directly control others' thoughts and emotions. In later years, her abilities were portrayed more conservatively: her telepathy was used most often for communication or sensing surface thoughts, while her ability to influence and influence minds was usually limited to minds that had already been weakened in some way, such as by fatigue or a villain's mind control. I was originally going to do the seventies outfit but I had to get this one out of my system first. Most of the seventies outfits for the Legionnaires look kind of striper like for the women and kind of gay for the men. Definitely futuristic nevertheless...lol.
