Fictional character biography

Rainbow Girl is a metahuman from the planet Xolnar who intends to join the Legion of Super-Heroes to further her ambition of becoming a holovid actress. She wins a trip to Metropolis where Legion tryouts are being held, but is rejected during her audition. Rather than return to Xolnar, Dori marries Irveang Polamar, a socialite from Metropolis, and joins the Legion of Substitute Heroes.
Dori later works with the Substitute heroes to form a resistance when Earth becomes a closed-off and xenophobic society. They ultimately succeed and save Earth from the Justice League of Earth, an alien coalition.

Powers and abilities

Rainbow Girl can harness all colors of the emotional spectrum, including red, blue, and green. However, this also causes her emotions to change unpredictably. In her first appearance, she could generate a pheromone field resembling a rainbow, making her irresistible to others.
