Biography[]
Pre-Zero Hour[]
Luornu Durgo was a Carggite from theplanet Cargg. She was born to Humre Durgo and Silvou Durgo sometime in the late 30th century. Like all Carggites, Luornu Durgo possessed the ability to fission her body into three separate physicalities - all of which could act independently of one another, but shared a single psyche. As a teenager, Luornu was the first recruit for the newly formed team of young adventurers dubbed the Legion of Super-Heroes. She operated under the code name of Triplicate Girl.
Early in Luornu's career with the Legion, she suffered from a traumatic loss. Fellow Legionnaire, Brainiac 5 had invented a highly intelligence and advanced robot system called Computo, which had gone rogue. During a fight with the Legion, a Computo drone killed one of Luornu's physicalities. Now hampered with the ability to only form into two beings, Luornu changed her name to Duo Damsel. [3]
Luornu nursed a crush on time-displaced teammate Superboy, but over time, she became romantically involved with Chuck Taine, aka Bouncing Boy. Luornu and Chuck were eventually married.
This version of Luornu ended up traveling backwards in time with Val Armorr, aka the Karate Kid, and arrived on Earth, where Val was suffering from the Morticoccus Virus. During a mission to save Val's life, Luornu was taken over by an O.M.A.C., but eventually recovered. [4]
