Origin

Pre-Zero Hour

Designated as a champion for Talok VIII, Tasmia Mallor and her cousin Grev entered a ritual cave where a black unleashed their genetic heritage giving them powers over light and darkness.

When Talok VIII was attacked by the villainous Fatal Five, Mallor was off planet, but this gave her an opportunity to enlist the aid of the Legion of Super-Heroes.  After defeating the villains Mallor accepted permanent membership in the Legion as Shadow Lass.

Post-Zero Hour

Heir to a long line of planetary protectors, Tasmia Mallor was prepared to assume her role when she came of age.  After an unknown scandal she was rejected for the role of planetary protector.  Mallor left Talok VIII to join the Legion of Super-Heroes and prove her worth to her fellow Talokians as the hero Umbra.
