Fictional character biography
Zero Hour
Pre-Zero Hour
In the original pre-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! continuity, Salu Digby is the thirteenth person to join the Legion of Super-Heroes. At the same tryout, Supergirl and Brainiac 5 join the Legion. Shrinking Violet joins the Legion later, as do her fellow applicants Sun Boy and Bouncing Boy. Despite her shyness, Shrinking Violet, known as Vi to her teammates, serves as an exemplary Legionnaire. She becomes romantically involved with Duplicate Boy of the Heroes of Lallor.
Years later, Violet is kidnapped by Imsk radicals and replaced in the Legion by Yera Allon, a Durlan who uses her shapeshifting abilities to assume Violet's identity.

Why this record matters
“Salu Digby” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Salu, Digby and fictional provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q520158. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
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.
