History: (Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #13) - Earth-6 was a parallel world that combined medieval government and culture with highly advanced technology. Lady Clark was a ruler on Earth-6, part of a royal family including her husband Lord Volt and daughter Princess Fern with inborn superhuman powers.

(Lobo I #1) - Vril assigned Lobo to bring a prisoner from Oneida VI to L.E.G.I.O.N. hq on Cairn, and when Lobo said it was a job beneath him Vril reminded him of their physical debate. He failed to mention that the prisoner was Miss E. Tribbs, Lobo’s fourth grade teacher and the author of an unauthorized biography of Lobo. Lady Quark and Strata both thought it was a bad idea but Vril thouroughly enjoyed torturing Lobo.

(Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime #1) - An army of Earth’s heroes, including Lady Qwark appeared to take Superboy down during the Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth. The heroes focused on wrecking his armor, because after a year on Oa, and away from a yellow sun his Kryptonian body still wasn’t at full strength, and his armor collected sunlight. Superboy bragged that once the sun rose on Earth he’d be at full power. Superboy was battered by Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman, who blamed him for Superboy’s death, as well as Supergirl and Power Girl, who blamed him for the death of the Superman of Earth-2. As the fight went against him, Superboy broke down in tears. He tried to wipe them away, saying that it was impossible for boys to cry, and then whining that no one ever thanked him for sacrificing his Earth to save the multiverse. The battle lasted until dawn, and he flew into the sunrise. As he achieved full power he declared himself the one, true Superman. The Guardians arrived with Sodam Yat, the new Ion, and pitted him against Superboy-Prime.
