Shadow Lass - Definition and Overview

Shadow Lass is a fictional character in the 30th century of the DC Universe. She is a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Her real name is Tasmia Mallor and her homeworld is Talok VIII. She has the power to project darkness. Like all Talokians, she has blue skin and pointed ears. She recieved her powers along with her cousin Grev, Shadow Kid from the spirits of her ancestors in a cave on Talok. (Talokians practice ancestor worship). She is the heriditary shadow champion of Talok VIII as her ancestors had been before her for over a thousand years.

She joined the Legion after her homeworld was invaded by the Fatal Five and she helped the Legion to defeat them. After joining, she became romantically involved with Mon-El. She eventually married him after he was mortally wounded fighting the Time Trapper as part of the conspiracy to avenge Superboy's death at the Trapper's hands.

In the post-Zero Hour universe, she goes by the codename Umbra and has a much more aggressive and businesslike attitude. This version of the character has not become romantically involved with the post-ZH counterpart of Mon-El.
