Lesla-Lar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lesla-Lar was a young blonde supervillainess from Kandor in the Silver Age of Comic Books when the Supergirl named Kara Zor-El was featured in the back of Action Comics magazine.

[edit] Overview

In Kandor, as she watched Supergirl's activities and beamed a "hypno-ray" to change an answer that Lena gave to a question she was asked by Kara, Lesla-Lar's hair was jagged and she wore a green miniskirt. Later, she teleported herself to take the place of Lena Thorul and dressed as Supergirl herself to confuse other characters in the story. Her hair was then straight and parted in the middle, like Lena's.

Naturally, once out of Kandor and enlarged to normal size, she herself had all the powers of Supergirl. And of course her facial features matched those of Kara Zor-El, as did Lex Luthor's cousin, Lena Thorul.

Finally, she donned her own supervillainess costume to open the Phantom Zone and gain allies from the criminals imprisoned there. She chose to wear an orange cape, belt, and boots and a gray skin-tight jumpsuit, keeping Lena's hairstyle.

Locating a box of Kryptonian weapons which Superman had thrown into the sea, the villains discovered a ray-gun which it was reported could kill Kryptonians. Not knowing for sure if it would or not, they drew straws. Lesla-Lar lost the draw and was evaporated. But the gun then broke, so it could not be used against Superman or Supergirl. Thus she never fought Supergirl, pitting power against power; never met Superman or any other DC comics superhero; never took on Kara's hairstyle; never disguised herself as anyone else to appear in a more complicated plot than to get Kara Zor-El confused, frustrated, and worried.
