Fictional biography

In the storyline "Torment" in "Superman/Batman" #37-42 (August 2007-January 2008), she and Batman help Superman escape from a fictional planet called Tartarus, where Superman is being held prisoner by Desaad. During the rescue mission, she and Batman fall in love, but in the end, she leaves with Orion when he comes to get her. In her home, while thinking that, staying with Orion, she'll forget Batman, some unknown person approaches her, and she is then apparently killed as part of "Death of the New Gods".

In "Death of the New Gods", it is initially revealed that her killer, and the killer of all the New Gods, is none other than her father Himon. However, the killer was later shown to actually be the Infinity Man, disguised as Himon.
