Fleur de Lys (superhero)

Fleur de Lys is a superheroine from Quebec and an ally of Northguard, created in 1984 by Mark Shainblum and Gabriel Morrissette in the comic New Triumph featuring Northguard.[1] The name of the character is inspired by the heraldic symbol of the fleur de lys, which is the official emblem of Quebec and a prominent part of the Flag of Quebec. The character was honored with a Canadian postage stamp in 1995, with fellow superheroes Superman, Nelvana of the Northern Lights, Johnny Canuck and Captain Canuck.[2]

Fleur de Lys uses a fleur-de-lys-shaped, non-lethal light saber to vanquish her foes.[3] The character's civilian identity is martial-arts expert Manon Deschamps,[4] from Quebec.[5]

In 2010, Fleur de Lys was featured in an animated web series, Heroes of the North, where it was revealed that the Quebecois heroine has brothers who are separatist terrorists.[6]
