Comments:
Since the Adult Legion of Super-Heroes exists in an alternate future of the Legion’s timeline, it cannot be assumed that Triplicate Girl lost one of her bodies to Computo and became Duo Damsel in this reality; thus, although not named in this story, she may be assumed to be called Triplicate Woman as an adult.

Superman and Supergirl invent the Legion flying belts in this story to replace the jetpacks. The teenage Legion will also begin using the flying belts, although presumedly they were not created by Superman. In this alternate future, the Adult Legion never used flying rings.

Synopsis:
Supergirl embarks on a campaign to see Superman happily married. Travelling into the past, she unsuccessfully attempts to interest him in Helen of Troy. Her similar effort in the future era of the Legion of Super-Heroes also fails, when she learns that Saturn Woman, the adult Saturn Girl, is already married to Lightning Man, the adult Lightning Lad.

Finally, she locates Superman’s ideal mate on a distant world, where Luma Lynai, a superwoman who resembles Supergirl herself as an adult, falls in love with the Man of Steel. When it turns out that Luma Lynai cannot survive on Earth, however, the couple are focused to part, and Supergirl learns not to interfere in her cousin’s love life.
