Specifically Sensor Girl or Saturn Girl…but with a motorcycle.

Wow. You wouldn’t be confused if you used the right images. The T-Mobile girl in this commercial looks almost exactly like the version of Saturn Girl from “Legionnaires”, which is a comic that used to run concurrently with “The Legion of Super Heroes”. I couldn’t find an image that I liked, but you can see what she looked like at http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/8669/193702-144465-saturn-girl_super.jpg
No confusion on my part Ted.
My point is that Sensor Girl never wore pink.
Ooh, I gotcha. I was thinking more about the costume design. I couldn’t remember if the Sensor Girl costume predated the Saturn Girl revision which, you’re right, looks exactly like this woman’s wardrobe.
I see. Sensor Girl does indeed predate that version of Saturn Girl, but all the ‘Legionnaires’ designs were most likely based on Dave Cockrum’s Lightening Lad. Man, that takes me back!
Oops. I meant Lightning Lad.
As I recall, Lightning Lad’s costume was the least affected by the Legionnaires redesign. Instead of ending just above the crotch, the white of his suit was extended all the way to the boots.
I recalled wrong. Reverse it. The white began at the pelvis, which makes more sense considering the point I wanted to make. D’oh!
