Imra Ardeen is a supremely powerful telepath, trained by elite mentalists on her birthplace, Saturns moon, Titan. She was invited to join the United Planets Youth Delegation for Peace, with fellow exceptional teens Rokk Krinn and Garth Ranzz. While being interviewed by United Planets President R.J. Brande, their ship was attacked by the Horraz Collective. The assault was repulsed by the teens and opportunistic Brande suggested a chance to make a real difference to civilization by reviving the mythic Age of Heroes as a Legion of Super-Heroes that could operate like Metropolis legendary champion Superman. Imra realized that this was how she could best use her amazing psionic abilities.
