Harbinger is a DC Comics character created in the early 1980s. She and her associate, the Monitor , made several short teasing appearances in various DC comic books up until 1985, when the Crisis On Infinite Earths began. Up until ''Crisis'', she and Monitor appeared to be simple, albeit somewhat pompous, weapons brokers. At the time she was named Lyla and served the Monitor as a fairly conventional secretary. All that changed in ''Crisis'', where she adopted the name and appearance of Harbinger, revealed her powers of splitting in various selves that could reintegrate later, and sent those selves through various points in time and space (across various realities, even), initially to recruit their aid for the Monitor's fight against his evil twin, the Anti-Monitor . That conflict and its consequences were the core of the ''Crisis'' limited series. She was also a central character in the Millennium crossover and had a couple of spotlights (in ''DC Presents'' and ''Titans Spotlight''). At one point she was invited to serve the island nation of Themyscira as the Amazon's official historian. She lived there until she was killed on its shores by an assault team put together by Darkseid to kidnap the newly discovered Supergirl who also was living on the island at the time. Harbinger was recently revealed to also be an alternate-world version of Donna Troy . |
