Laurel Kent
Laurel Kent
Laurel Kent is a thirtieth century direct descendant of Superman (first appearance: SB No. 217/2, Jun 1976: "Future Shock for Superboy"). She trains at the Legion Academy and applies for admittance to the Legion of Super-Heroes, but is turned down. Her only power is invulnerability, which is considered a duplicate of other members' powers. Due to her Kryptonian heritage, she is vulnerable to kryptonite.
While at the Academy, she is shot by a marksman using a kryptonite bullet. This is part of a larger scheme to seek revenge on all the descendants of the Justice League of America, of which Superman was a founding member, by the League's immortal foe, Professor Ivo (Legion of Super-Heroes Annual No. 1, 1985: "Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Cold").
