Neon (Celeste McCauley a.k.a. Celeste Rockfish) is a fictional character in the 30th and 31st centuries of the DC Comics Universe, and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. She first appeared after the "Five Year Gap" in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) #6, created by then-inker Al Gordon.[1]
Celeste is the niece of long-time Legion rival Leland McCauley. She studied at the Science Police Academy and eventually became a private detective, opening her own agency called the Rockfish Detective Agency. Dawnstar became her partner under the alias of "Bounty."
Sun Boy hired Celeste to investigate the hiring of Roxxas by Earthgov. This lead her to the Legion of Super-Heroes, which was in the process of reforming. Later she confronted Roxxas directly and was severely injured. Her Green Lantern powers then emerged, healing her. Afterwards the Legion invited her to join the team and she accepted.
Celeste was transformed into a Darkstar during Zero Hour before disappearing from existence.
Celeste has made one appearance since then, in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, where she appeared to help the Legion fight the Time Trapper.
Powers
After an encounter with a fallen Green Lantern, some of the emerald energy from the Lantern's power ring followed her across the galaxy before bonding with her body. The energy gave her the powers of a Green Lantern, which she used mainly for flying and discharging force blasts. After her body was aged to the point of death she became a being of pure emerald energy.
