Atlee
Atlee is a comic book character that first appeared in Supergirl #12
Atlee, from sub-world of Strata, now lives as the super-hero Terra on the surface-world.
Atlee was born in Strata, a sub-terrestrial world, naturally, Stratan culture is tied to Earth's sanctity and protection. Choosing Atlee as their next ambassador to the surface-world, the Stratans surgically alter her body to that of a human with the physical features of Tara Markov. The Quixim element is used to give her geokinetic powers.It was in recent times that a dark- haired teen whose powers mimicked that of the original Terra appeared in various places around the world, saving lives and disappearing just as quickly. No one on the surface world knew her origins. When asked by Power Girl, she later revealed her name to be Atlee. She took the name of Terra only when Geo-Force, brother of the original Terra, told her that he would be proud to have someone like her take the name originally given to his sister.
Atlee originated in Strata, a sub-terrestrial city of alien origin, which watched humanity grow from the days of its infancy. Atlee was chosen as their next ambassador to the surface world, as she exhibited a rare trait that would allow a combination of alien elements and genetic alteration to give her geokinetic abilities. Her original form was modified to appear as a human female, so that she would appear in a form the surface world would find more appealing. With a responsibility to both the surface world and Strata, Terra is constantly kept busy. While she has encountered other heroes, such as Supergirl, Power Girl, and the Teen Titans, she presently goes about on her own path.
Despite her many duties, she is seeking ways to integrate herself more into surface world society, a task that Power Girl is aiding her with. She maintains a close association with Power Girl. Their most recent team up occurs when the Ultra-Humanite uprooted the entire island of Manhattan and held it hostage, threatening to drop it and kill its 8 million inhabitants if Power Girl didn't allow him to transfer his mind into her body. After the insane ape-man is dealt with, Power Girl contacts Atlee to get her help in safely restoring the island to its original location. Atlee, positioned upside-down beneath the island, grows the continental bedrock miles into the air to catch the island. She then asks Power Girl to cut the cables tethering the island to the Ultra-Humanite's flying vessel. The island lands on the raised bedrock spires, and Atlee lowers it back into its place. She then proceeds to do the long task of repairing the broken rock, subway tunnels and similar subterranean structures.
