Computo (Danielle Foccart) is a character appearing in media published by DC Comics, primarily as a member of the "Batch SW6" group of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century. She is the younger sister of Jacques Foccart, who joined the Legion as the second Invisible Kid.
Fictional character biography
[edit]Danielle is a native of Earth, from what was once the Ivory Coast. As a preteen, she is afflicted with a life-threatening, incurable neurological disorder. As a last resort, her older brother Jacques brings her to Brainiac 5, who uses circuitry from Computo in an attempt to cure her.[1] However, Computo takes control of Danielle and battles the Legion before Brainiac 5 exorcises it from her.[2][3]
During the "Five Year Gap" following the Magic Wars, Earth falls under the control of the Dominators and withdraws from the United Planets. Danielle joins a resistance against them and works closely with "Batch SW6", temporal clones of the Legionnaires. Furthermore, she gains the ability to mentally communicate with and control computers.[4][5]
The events of Infinite Crisis restore an analogue of the pre-Crisis Legion to continuity. Computo appears briefly when the Legion battles Superboy-Prime, the Time Trapper, and the Legion of Super-Villains.[6]
