Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, Saturn
Girl is one of the strongest and foremost
telepath’s in all of DC. She made her first
appearance in Adventure Comics #247 a way
back in 1958.
Saturn Girl was born on the largest moon of
the planet Saturn, Titan. Like all those who
hail from Titan, Saturn Girl is naturally
gifted with Telepathy. What makes her unique
is that among her people she is extremely
strong with the gift. This means that she
is much more proficient in telepathy than
most of those on the moon. Because of her
natural gifts, she was transported to Earth
where she trained to become a Science Police
Officer.
Her quest to become a Science Police Officer,
however, was not meant to be. Shortly after
her flight to Earth departed she and fellow
founding Legion of Superhero members Cosmic
Boy and Lightning Lad foiled an assassination
attempt on well-known Galactic Billionaire,
R.J. Brande.
The trio would soon learn that Brande was
different from the other inhabitants on Earth.
Unlike most Earth dwellers, Brande was actually
a shapeshifter in disguise known as Ren Daggle.
Due to something known as Yorggian Fever,
Daggle was unable to shape back and therefore
stuck in human form.
Brande, impressed by the three, offered them
the chance of a lifetime. He asked that the
United Planets allow him to form a group of
superheroes charged with protecting the cosmos.
And they obliged. With the approval of the
United Planets, he began funding the teenagers
now named the Legion of Superheroes.
As far as powers go, like I kinda mentioned,
Saturn Girl is extremely powerful in telepathy.
And that's it guys. Saturn Girl as quickly
and efficiently as we can.
As always before you go I'm going to ask you
three simple things. First, hit that Subscribe

Second, check out our other videos. If you
don't know where to find any of them, no problem.
I'll put a link right up in that right-hand
corner.
And third, check out two websites for me.
The first website I need you to find is Comics
For Cause. I'll put the link down below for
it. Comics For Cause is a Not For Profit created
by us here at Comic Basics that sees the distribution
and delivery of comic books to children in
developing countries. And what kind of children
are we giving comic books to? We give comic
books to kids who are sitting in hospitals
and orphanages. Check out the website and
help us if you can.
And the other website? Comic Basics, of course.
Comic Basics is the website devoted to this
YouTube channel and on it has more information
than we can cram into any of these videos.
I'll put its link down in the description
as well.
Thanks guys and we'll catch you next time.
