Profile: Princess Projectra

Princess Projectra
First appearance: Adventure Comics #346, July 1966
Creators: Jim Shooter, Curt Swan

History: Projectra, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, was heir to the throne of the planet Orando in the far future, and her power was the ability to generate illusions that could affect all 5 senses of the body. In later years, she fell in love with and married Karate Kid.

Was subjected to the following act of discrimination: she was erased from continuity/existence during the notorious Zero Hour crossover of 1994, in another example of modern editors treating other people's hard work like tissue paper or less, and replaced by a similar character named Sensor (Jeka Wynzorr), which was the name of a disguise she took up during the mid-1980s for a brief period. It's one thing to create a new character, but doing it at the expense of the original was simply unacceptable. Geoff Johns also allegedly "reintroduced" the pre-Crisis Sensor Girl in the Justice Society series he was writing during the mid-2000s, and under his type of writing, it's definitely not worth the paper it was printed on.

Projectra's co-creator, Jim Shooter, may have reintroduced her during the "Threeboot" era of the mid-2000s, when he was hired to again write some Legion stories, but it was far too late, and took place when one of the worst editors DC was ever under, Dan DiDio, was in charge. He may be gone from their employ now, but the damage has long been done, and even for Princess Projectra, it'll take ages to repair whatever damage was done to her.
