The ''Inferno'' miniseries from 1997-1998 has her refer to Sandy as her name and shows a flashback where she is called Ms. Anderson, establishing this as her actual name. Her parents are John and Maja Anderson.

Legion Of Super-Villains
The Legion of Super-Villains is a team of supervillains who appear in comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as enemies of the Legion of Super-Heroes. They first appeared in ''Superman'' #147 (Aug 1961). The team originated at a time when ''Superman'' editor Mort Weisinger was consciously adding new elements to the "Superman mythos" over a period of years, building an extended cast of supporting characters who could provide new story opportunities. The creation of the Legion of Super-Heroes was part of that plan, and in the Legion's fourth appearance ("The Army of Living Kryptonite Men" in ''Superboy'' #86, Jan 1961), it was suggested that Lex Luthor would someday lead a group of super-villains. This would come to fruition seven months later, in ''Superman'' #147's story "The Legion of Super-Villains". Fictional team history In pre-''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' continuity, the Legion of Super-Villains was founded by Tarik the Mute, who had suffered irreparable damage to hi ...

A shopping mall (or simply mall) is a large indoor shopping center, usually Anchor tenant, anchored by department stores. The term ''mall'' originally meant pedestrian zone, a pedestrian promenade with shops along it, but in the late 1960s, it began to be used as a generic term for the large enclosed shopping centers that were becoming increasingly commonplace. In the United Kingdom and other countries, shopping malls may be called ''shopping centres''.

Successful exceptions have added entertainment and experiential features, added big-box stores as anchors, or converted to other specialized shopping center formats such as power center (retail), power centers, lifestyle centers, factory outlet centers, and festival marketplaces.
