For the first ever installment of The Super Chicks Column, I thought I'd go with a no-brainer. I mean a girl who can split into three at will...?
Luorno Durgo comes from the planet of Cragg, where the natives of that planet can split into three identical forms. Triplicate Girl was the first to join the Legion after the three founders: Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy. Triplicate Girl fell prey to doom one day when her teammate, Brainiac 5, created Computo. Computo was a robot that believed all living things were weak and should be eliminated. Computo was able to kill one of Triplicate Girl's forms before being defeated. From then on, Triplicate Girl became known as Duo Damsel.
Duo Damsel
Duo Damsel worked for some time with the Legion of Super-Heroes, falling in love with her teammate Bouncing Boy. After they wed, both Legionnaires went on reserve status, being called only for emergencies. After some time, Duo Damsel and her husband became teachers in the Legion Academy, a school meant to train prospective Legion of Super-Hero members.
In a battle against Time Trapper, Duo Damsel found herself losing her only duplicate.

5 sucka ass fools had something to say:
So, does Duo Damsel's husband get to have a threesome every night or what? Tells what we really need to know.
I was just noticing the caption, shouldn't it read "she split into three exact triplicates"?
Did she lose power when one of her died, or did she become more concentrated? And why did her teammate build something that then tried to kill her?
nerd alert!
since when did comic books make sense?
Her teammate is a furure cyborg clone of Braniac. He does things sometimes that do not work out. The Legion of Superheroes was always getting themselves in trouble by trying to figure out ways to make their jobs easier--just one of the many problems with letting teenage superheroes work alone. Her powers only got worse when her duplicate died and, sadly, so did her name.
Supergirl is always right:
Duplicate:
1. copy something: to make an identical version of something one or more times

I think semantic choice depends on the process by which the copies were produced. If the second girl was made and then the third, they are duplicates. However, if the second and third were cloned at the same time, then it would be triplicate.
