Duo Damsel is a character in the DC Comics superhero team, the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Luornu Durgo, codenamed Triplicate Girl, first appeared in Action Comics #276. A native of the planet Cargg, she could split into three identical bodies, as could all Carggites.
She was the fourth hero to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, and its first non-founder member. Unlike her post-Zero Hour counterpart, Triad, she had brown eyes, not split purple/orange ones. She had an unrequited crush on Superboy for a long time.
One of her bodies was killed by Brainiac 5's killer creation Computo the conqueror (a rogue computer) early on in Adventure Comics #241, and she was thereafter known as Duo Damsel.
She left active Legion service to become a reservist after marrying fellow Legionnaire Bouncing Boy in Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #200, after this she then appeared only sporadically until Zero Hour. In later years of the first Legion continuity she served as an instructor at the Legion Academy along with her husband. She suffered the death of one of her bodies yet again when one of her remaining two selves were killed by the Time Trapper after she took part in a conspiracy to avenge the death of Superboy, which had been caused by the Trapper.
The character was later revised as Triad in the post-Zero Hour continuity, and then reverted to Triplicate Girl in the reimagining of the series that occurred in 2004-2005.
