Infectious Lass (Drura Sehpt) is a superheroine in the DC Universe and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Origin[]
Drura Sehpt was one of the first inhabitants of the planet Somahtur to venture to another world. Her species were hosts to numerous diseases so she was immediately quarantined by the United Planets to a satellite medical ward that orbited the Earth. While quarantined, Drura learned that she could control who she infected and what disease they would contract. When Drura learned about the Legion of Super-Heroes she escaped her medical ward and tried to enlist as Infectious Lass. Due to the nature of her powers and her lack of control during her demonstration, Infectious Lass was rejected. She joined the Legion of Substitute Heroes and when she proved her abilities were very useful and under her control, she was allowed to enlist at the Legion academy before finally being made a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Biography[]
The childhood and parentage of Drura Sehpt remains unknown.
