Biography

Liason

Much like the great majority of Science Police officers, Shvaughn was dedicated to her job, believing that they were a force for good in the galaxy. Imagine her disdain, then, when the Legion of Superheroes was formed, and, it seemed, had come to steal their thunder while being just a bunch of show-ff celebrities. She held Leviathan, in particular, in contempt; how could anyone resign from the Science Police to join the Legion? It didn't help that, during an argument with Leviathan, she was attacked by the Composite Man and got her back broken.

Shvaughn Erin was given the job of Legion/Science Police liason as only her second job out of the Science Police Academy, after a short period of clerking under Commander Hagbard where she first encountered the then-SP Cadet Imra Ardeen.

Initially angered by the desk job, and further enraged by the taunting of her collegues who promptly dubbed her "Liason Lass", she grew to accept the assignment after studying the Legionnaires' files. She was particularly impressed by XS, Kinetix, and ironically enough, Leviathan's files, especially after she learned that he had resigned because his commanding officer was merely using him to further his image and career, and was more interested in that than even his men's lives.

Shvaughn quickly became a loyal ally to the Legionnaires, offering condolences during Apparition's and Andromeda's funerals and trying to keep the Science Police out of a Legion Headquarters that had been destroyed after Brainiac 5 had experimented with time travel. She even successfully defended the headquarters against an invasion of semi-sentient shapeshifting beings who were trying to use an acid bomb to destroy the building's power generator - an act which, had it been successful, would have destroyed the entire city of Metropolis. Luckily, Shvaughn and the Legion support staff came through.

She next aided the Legion again when the Emerald Eye had taken over Violet; Shvaughn briefly destroyed the Eye, but was turned into a baby in retaliation. This didn't keep her down though; she joined Imra Ardeen, Apparition and Inferno/Post-Zero Hour in an assault on the satellite Violet had taken over. They were able to spur Violet into leaving, but Shvaughn and the others were thrown back in time to the 20th century.

Shvaughn remained a staunch ally and friend of the Legion's, though, and took part in many missions: meeting Superman, helping against the Final Night, tracking down Doctor Psycho after he attacked Saturn Girl. She was also the one who figured out that Saturn Girl had been unconsciously taking mental control of the body of a still-comatose Cosmic Boy. However, she did make the unfortunate mistake of keeping a computer journal of all the Legionnaires, their missions and even their day-to-day interactions; COMPUTO was able to download these and use the information therein against the Legionnaires.

After COMPUTO was defeated, though, Shvaughn accompanied the team back to the 30th century.

Promotion

Upon their return, Shvaughn was quickly promoted to Lieutenant for helping the Legion on their "secret mission". This was a promotion that her friends in the Legion gladly celebrated with her. Shvaughn also helped convince Leland McCauley to drop criminal charges against Karate Kid after the latter had severely damaged his property, leading top Karate Kid joining the Legion. She also helped a team of Legionnaires get to Durla to reunite with Chameleon during the Dark Circle crisis, and helped the team disarm and neutralize the invading soldiers when time had stopped.

Despite not having any powers, her Science Police training enabled her to remain one of the last free resistance fighters when the Blight invaded Earth. She, along with Live Wire, XS and Chameleon, were escorting a batch of refugees to safety when they were suddenly attacked by the Blight, and she was among those captured and taken into the Stem, the Blight's base of operations. To her credit, she remained conscious almost as long as XS did. She was later freed and reunited with her friends after the Blight were defeated.
