Character Name: Salu Digby – Atom Girl Character Series: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Legion_of_Super-Heroes_(New_Earth)
More than you ever wanted to know about it, I'm sure.
Background:
Salu was the last of the Legionnaires to appear on panel. She spent the first 11 issues being a running joke amongst the members: Atom Girl, the Legionnaire so small nobody could see her around. Most of the members thought she was non-existent for obvious reasons...they hadn't met her, and the ones who had thought it was hilarious so they kept quiet about the truth. Lyle Norg's attempts to pin his spying on her failed for obvious reasons.
Her first actual appearance was quite literally doing her best impression of a chestburster, and, for lack of a better descriptor, ripping through the shoulder of the villain of the week armed and ready. After responding that yes, she is that Atom Girl, she suggested cauterizing the would she caused with a blaster. There is a scene change at this point in which the Legion wins the battle and the universe is saved.
Immediately afterwards, in the aftermath she confronts Lyle (by which I mean surprising him when he's got his flight ring off and dangling him over the city by his collar, several hundred feet in the air) about how he blamed his spying on her and the fact she has blackmail material on him now. Turns out, however, she doesn't mind what he did...the exact opposite, really.
More time passes, and while Salu exists she doesn't do anything incredibly noteworthy. The pitfalls of being in a team book consisting of 20 members and a handful of background characters. She helps Brainiac 5 try to bring Nura back to life. She goes off on missions and fights things. There's a big epic battle and a fight to save the universe. The usual thing.
She's sent on a mission to Lallor with Shadow Lass and Timber Wolf. There they encounter the enigmatic E.R.G.-1, who is being manipulated into fighting them, though she ends up convincing him to side with the Legion instead.
Yet more things happen, but really, the sum of Salu's involvement is pretty much, 'Salu goes on missions, shoots things, punches others, gets really upset over losing a fight, and then shoots and punches and kicks some more while other people hog the majority of the screentime.' The universe is also saved again.
Point in Canon: Post-Legion of Super-Heroes the comic, pre-Legion of Three Worlds.
Salu Digby isn't the character I reserved either, go team.
