Biography
Danielle Foccart was a female native of Earth, from what was once the Ivory Coast. As a preteen, she is afflicted with an incurable neurological disorder. (Adventure Comics v1 #341)
After studying Danielle's condition, Brainy concocted a therapy using one of his previous inventions — the renegade super-computer called Computo. Brainy mistakenly believed he would be able to control Computo, but the malevolent computer took over Danielle's mind. To fool Computo, Jacques Foccart ingested the invisibility serum invented by the late Invisible Kid. He sneaked beyond Computo's sensors and saved Danielle from it. Afterwards, Jacques and became the second Invisible Kid. (Legion of Super-Heroes v2 Annual v1 #1) Danielle remained uncured and Brainiac 5 became possessed by the challenge to free her from the taint of Computo's possession. (Legion v2 #310) He eventually succeeded, but in doing so destroyed the Legion's headquarters. Brainiac 5 had prepared for this and Legion HQ was immediately reconstructed in a new form — and Computo was 'tamed;; it became the Legion's artificial majordomo. (Legion v2 #311)
Danielle returned to a normal life in Africa for many years. But when the Dominators infiltrated Earth's government, they began kidnapping super-humans for experimentation and recruitment. Danielle was one of their subjects. The Dominators discovered that she could mentally communicate with, and partially control computers. Her power also made her aware of the Dominator's atrocities outside her prison chambers. When she sensed that her chamber had been set to self-destruct, Danielle freed herself and three others. She, Bobb Kohan, Xao Jin, and April Dumaka escaped the blast and made their way through the Dominator's tunnels until they came across two Legionnaires from Batch SW6 Legion. (Legion v4 #33)
In the latter half of the 30th Century, Brainiac 5 undertook a project to build the ultimate computer. He named the artificial intelligence that emerged Computo, and then watched helplessly as Computo ruthlessly set out to create a tyranny of computers on Earth. With the assistance of other members of the Legion of Super Heroes, Brainiac 5 defeated Computo, but not before the machine had destroyed one of Luornu Durgo's three bodies, changing her from Triplicate Girl to Duo Damsel. Restored to inanimate life years later when Brainiac 5 accidentally incorporated a similar circuitry in a device he had built to save the life of Danielle Foccart, Computo invaded LSH headquarters and nearly killed the entire team. He sealed away Brianiac 5 and the Foccart's in hopes of seeking revenge on his creator. He had possessed the body and mind of Danille but was quickly burning its host body, who could not long survive the interface. Only the decision of Jacques Foccart, the girl's elder brother, who was able to use telepathic earplugs along with Brianiac 5 to construct a plan. Jacques than used trickery to ingest Lyle Norg's, the deceased Invisible Kid, serum and turned invisible instantly. Once he had assume the powers and role of Invisible Kid he enabled Brainiac 5 to defeat Computo again.
As for Danielle Foccart , her story did not end there. Danielle had been forever affected at the very biological core of her being, Computo's interface added Nano technology to her to her DNA. Danielle could now literally interface herself with almost any form of technology but would be strained and fatigued the longer she used this ability. Growing up now from the little girl who had been violated by Computo into a strong young woman. Her techno-pathic powers and her brothers former tenure at the Legion allowed Danielle membership to the newly reformed Legion. While on board the team she quickly rose to deputy leader, proving her attuned strategies and durable character on the field. She also often assisted Brianiac 5 on his scientific ventures. During the Event known as Zero Hour, Danielle and everyone else in her timeline were erased.
