Inferno was also the name of the "SW6" version of the Legionnaire Sun Boy
Inferno, (alias Sandy Anderson of the planet Earth) is a comic book superheroine in the DC Comics universe. She is a former ally of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the future, but currently resides in the present day.
The name "Sandy Anderson" comes from when several Legionnaires, including Inferno, were placed in an illusionary world representing rural 50s America where, among other things, all their names were Anglicised to names which might have existed then (for instance, Querl Dox became "Earl Docks"). While Sandy Anderson is, for that reason, likely to be similar to her real name, it is unlikely to be her true name.
As depicted in the post-Zero Hour reimagining of the LSH storyline, Inferno is depicted as a rather bloodthirsty character who initially works for a group called the Workforce alongside Live Wire after he resigns from the Legion. As a member of the Workforce, she is shown killing opponents by immolating them, much to the chagrin of Legion members.
She was part of the Legion group who were sent to the 20th century by the Emerald Eye and, not feeling any affiliation to the Legion, elected to remain there when the others returned to the 30th century.
Inferno has not appeared in the original Legion continuity, although she may have been based on a character named Beauty Blaze who was created for the Legion of Super-Villains, but ultimately unused.
In Mark Waid's rebooted Legion, Inferno is a member of a group called the Wanderers, a "black ops" group of adult heroes who oppose the Legion because they won't take orders. The rebooted Inferno comes from Mercury, and has light-green skin.
