Inferno (aliasSandy Anderson) is asuperheroine in theDC Comicsuniverse. The character is a former ally of theLegion of Super-Heroes in thefuture, but currently resides in the present day.
The name "Sandy Anderson" first appeared when several Legionnaires, including Inferno, were placed in an illusionary world representing rural 1950s America where, among other things, all their names wereanglicized to names that might exist then, making it unclear whether that is her name or whether it is just a close approximation.[1] TheInferno miniseries from 1997-1998 has her refer to Sandy as her name and shows a flashback where she is called Ms. Anderson, establishing this as her actual name. Her parents are John and Maja Anderson.
As depicted in the post-Zero Hour reimagining of the LSH storyline, Inferno is depicted as a rather bloodthirsty character who initially works for a group called the Workforce. She works alongsideLive Wire after he resigns from the Legion. As a member of the Workforce, she is shown killing opponents by immolating them, much to the chagrin of Legion members.[1]
She was part of the Legion group and was sent to the 20th century by the Emerald Eye. She assists with battling theSun-Eater, as detailed inThe Final Night. Later, not feeling any affiliation to the Legion, she elected to remain there when the others returned to the 30th century.[1]
There, she spent some time affiliated with a strangeshopping mall and several homeless teenagers. During this time, she had to deal with the problem of unwittingly moving locations while asleep. She was later recruited to the invading force sent to Zandia to avenge the murder of the parents ofEmpress. The force was made up of many young superheroes such asDamage, theWonder Twins, andYoung Justice.
Inferno has not appeared in the original Legion continuity, although she may have been based on a character namedBeauty Blaze who was created for theLegion of Super-Villains, but ultimately unused.[1]
InMark Waid's rebooted Legion, Inferno is a member of a group called theWanderers, a "black ops" group of adult heroes who opposed the Legion because they will not take orders. The rebooted Inferno comes fromMercury and has green skin.[1]
