Comments
Identity adopted by Laurel Gand in the "On the Run" storyline. As code names go, most of the "On the Run" ones were fairly transparent...but with this one, they didn't even phone it in. It passeth understanding that the citizens of the galaxy, seeing a super-powered woman addressed by her companions as "Laurel," would not have the slightest suspicion that she might really be Legion member Laurel Gand. Even "Tiger Rose" would have been a better code name. Subtlety was never one of Laurel's strong suits, and I don't imagine she was ever seriously considered for Espionage Squad work (although she did go to Khundia in disguise that one time). Picking undercover names obviously wasn't her forté.
