Who is Calorie Queen?

Creation Calorie Queen was created by writer Jim Shooter and penciler Mike Grell . Her first apperance was in the pages of Superboy # 212; Last Fight for A Legionnaire. History From early childhood, Taryn Loy was pushed into becoming a chronic overachiever. She was always trying to outdo others, academically and physically. When her father, a brilliant Bismollian scientist discovered a way to alter Bismollian physiology so that caloric energy would be processed into super strength, his daughter became his first test subject. The experiment succeeded - in addition to the usual Bismollian matter-eating powers, she now possessed super strength. Confident in her new abilities, she tried out for an honour she had yet to achieve - membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes . Because of her similarity in power to already-member Matter-Eater Lad , however, she was rejected.
