[edit] Character history
The original Triplicate Girl first appeared in Action Comics #276 (May 1961). She later became Duo Damsel (when one of her bodies was destroyed) in Adventure Comics #341 (February 1966) and eventually just Luornu Durgo, when her second body was destroyed. Her post-Zero Hour version was called Triad.
[edit] Origin
Triplicate Girl is the only inhabitant of the planet Cargg. Her origin is a mystery. All she recalls is waking up alone amongst the ruins of her planet. After weeks of loneliness, she discovers that she has the ability to divide herself into two, then three, then six, then more individuals with a shared consciousness. Eventually she hit her limit (presumed to be in the hundreds of millions), but by then, her entire planet was repopulated with duplicates of herself. When a United Planets craft arrives on Cargg, three of these duplicates are sent out as emissaries. When they returned, the other duplicates considered them "tainted," because they'd been places the other hadn't and met with beings who weren't duplicates of themselves. These new experiences made them grow as people, and thus they were no longer true duplicates. So the three merged into one being and were exiled, and she/they soon joined the Legion as Triplicate Girl.
[edit] Powers
Triplicate Girl has the ability to split into 3 identical bodies. The "prime" Triplicate Girl, who remained on Cargg, can divide into numerous bodies (the exact amount has yet to be revealed). When Triplicate Girl merges into 1 body, she gains the memories and knowledge that her divided selves obtained.
Unlike Triad, no distinction between her different selves has been established, and their costumes are identical.
[edit] Other Media
Triplicate Girl appears on the Legion of Super Heroes animated series, played by Kari Wahlgren.
