Nyxlygsptlnz appears in the sixth season of the Arrowverse series Supergirl, portrayed by Peta Sergeant.

Publication history

She was created by Jerry Siegel and Curt Swan, and first appeared in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #52 (April 1964).

Fictional character biography

Gzptlsnz first appeared in the comic book series Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen as a female imp from the same fifth-dimensional plane as Mister Mxyzptlk. Mxyzptlk referred to her as his girlfriend, though Gzptlsnz developed a crush on Jimmy Olsen.

In post-Crisis continuity, Gzptlsnz reappeared in JLA #31 as the leader of a council of imps passing judgement on Qwsp when he went rogue.

Gsptlsnz is later seen in Countdown to Final Crisis when Mxyzptlk is pulled through a portal by Monarch, and again when Mxyzptlk escapes.

In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “character from "Superman: The Animated Series" and later media” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5250878. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1964 and 2011.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
