Who's Who: Marella Tao

Marella Tao
by Russell & Siskoid

Real Name: Marella Tao

Super-Power(s): Power
Planet of Origin: Earth

Relationship to Legion: Relationship

Legion Log
Marella Tao was introduced as a love interest of Timber Wolf's during the time that Universo had taken over Earth's government for the second time. Then, after the Legionnaires had their individual freedoms restored, Timber Wolf and Marella Tao continued their relationship.

None of the information shared in this Who's Who profile appeared in an actual in-continuity Legion story. Although the profile claims she is from Earth, in most of her appearances she was represented with a distinct orange or beige skin-tone, which made me think that she was NOT from Earth.

Marella Tao does not appear in the Reboot or Threeboot.

After Infinite Crisis, Marella Tao's original history has presumably been more or less restored. During the Final Crisis, she reported on the arrival of alternate versions of the Legion and their battle with Superboy-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains.
