[edit] Physical Appearance
Imra has short blonde hair and is of medium height. She is almost always seen wearing her signature colors of red, white and yellow. She is mostly seen wearing her Legion of Super-Heroes outfit, which consists of a white t-shirt with a red jacket over the top and jeans, as well as her Legion ring, which never leaves her finger.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Imra has the power of telepathy, enabling her to communicate to all other living beings. Her power also allows her to telepathically connect other living beings to each other over vast distances. [citation needed] She was able to talk to Clark without moving her lips by implanting thoughts into his head and can also read the minds of other living beings as she was able to read Lana's while talking to her knowing her future intentions and current feelings. She was also able to connect Clark with Chloe while Brainiac was being extracted from her, allowing them to talk telepathically.
As a wielder of a Legion ring, Imra displayed the ability to fly when she and her fellow legion members took flight while pursuing Clark in his attempt to find Chloe before she was murdered in order to defeat Brainiac.

"Your sadism's historic where I come from. But so is your defeat." Imra Ardeen to Brainiac
Along with fellow founding Legion members Rokk Krinn and Garth Ranzz, Garth traveled through time back to the 21st century to stop the Persuader from killing Superman aka Clark Kent. They found him to be at Clark's barn where he had just returned from seeing Jimmy off to Star City. After he had cut open his abdomen, Rokk took away his Atomic Axe using his ability of magnetism control and Imra distracted him using telepathy enough so that Garth could knock him out using his electricity before Rokk took away his stolen Legion ring sending him back to the 31st century.

As Lana was tempted to ask of her future, Imra only told her that she has a destiny to fulfill as well and that "her secret" would be safe with her. Imra, Rokk, and Garth had later returned to the future with what was left of Brainiac saying that they would reprogram it to be more productive, naming it 'Brainiac 5'. Imra voiced her hope that the new Brainiac would be "a little more friendly".
[edit] In the Comics
Over the years there have been three primary versions of the Legion of Superheroes but in all three Imra Ardeen, Garth Ranzz and Rokk Krinn are the founding members. Imra with Garth and Rokk went back in time and recruited young Clark Kent (Superboy) to join their superhero team in the future. In all three Legion histories Imra (also known as Saturn Girl) has been depicted as one of the founding Legion members and has been thought of as the heart of the Legion of Superheroes. Imra's main relationship through the years has been with fellow teammate Garth Ranzz (in the original continuity the two married and had children) despite it's hardships, such as their child turning into Legion villain Validus (original continuity), Garth's death and resurrection (second continuity) and their short breakup (third continuity). Imra was in a relationship with Rokk briefly in the second continuity. Imra has sometimes struggled with social behavior possibly due to her telepathic powers and even in the second continuity struggled with losing her sanity but has been able to get past these problems. Imra was thought of as an almost motherly figure in the Legion. In the original and current continuities Imra, along with Rokk and Garth, are seen as having a huge effect on Superman and have had a huge effect on him growing up. Imra is from a colony that resides on Mars with a population of psychic people.
Saturn Girl's design has fluctuated over the course of various series reboots. Her first design featured a yellow blouse with black trim, a "Saturn" planet design, her code-name "Saturn Girl" written on the front, and a green skirt and boots. Her second and most familiar design was the red and white blouse with a yellow planet Saturn, red skirt and leggings, and white boots. At the end of the "Legion of Super-Heroes" run in Action Comics #467, a cutaway swimsuit design sent in by a fan named K. Haven Metzger appeared and became her costume until 1982, when she returned to the familiar red and white costume.
[edit] Notes
- In the comics, Imra marries her fellow Legionnaire Garth Ranzz aka Lightning Lad.
- Irma's red, blue, and yellow colors are the same as what Clark wears now and foreshadow the colors he will wear in the future.
