Lady Quark is eventually recruited by Vril Dox to become a member of the peace-keeping force L.E.G.I.O.N. in L.E.G.I.O.N. '90 #18. Lady Quark is apparently killed in L.E.G.I.O.N. '94 #62 after a parasitic shapeshifter absorbs her memories and powers. The shapeshifter replaces her in L.E.G.I.O.N., but later dies in L.E.G.I.O.N. '94 #70. Lady Quark's corpse is later seen floating in space, heavily maimed.

(2005-2006).

Lady Quark appears again in several splash pages of Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime (December 2007), and again in a double page spread of Legionnaires and characters associated with the Legion of Super-Heroes in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #5 (July 2009).

Powers and abilities

Lady Quark is a metahuman with the ability to absorb and emit nuclear energies. She can direct these energies as percussive forces from her body. Her powers allow her to fly and travel through space. If her unexplained reappearance is taken as is, it may be assumed she can regenerate herself even from seeming death.

Lady Quark is featured-along with Lord Volt in a Convergence tie-in, fighting Matrix-Supergirl.[6] Her daughter, Princess Fern, is featured in another Convergence tie-in, fighting Parallax. Fern's parents are seen on Monitor screens.[7]
