Esper Lass is from Titan, the moon of Saturn, in the 30th century. Like other natives of Titan (including Legionnaire Saturn Girl), she is a natural telepath. After being denied from joining the Legion of Super-Heroes due to a rule prohibiting members with duplicate powers, she works with other rejects to battle them before being defeated.[1]

Esper Lass later joins the Legion of Super-Villains.[2] Her last appearance before Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! was a cameo in Crisis on Infinite Earths.[3]

Esper Lass appears in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds as a member of the Legion of Super-Villains.[4][5]
