Felicity was a female of Tigorr's species.
They were romantically involved. She died during the Dominator's
Invasion Alliance (Invasion #1). 
Tigorr's sexual relationship with Felicity is revealed. (#4)
Felicity succumbs to a powerful vision and lapses into a coma. This
vision is actually a distress signal from a nearby asteroid. Doc
extracts the asteroids location from her mind and the Omegans pursue
the call. What they do not realize is that the call is a trap set
long ago by the Psions. Its design is based on the Velorpian ability
(of which Lobo is the last) to duplicate. The signal lures sentients
in and automatically sends a duplicate back to the Psion base for
experimentation. When Tigorr enters this "Replicave," it
immediately begins producing an endless stream of Tigorrs. Kalista
banishes Alonzo Dulak from Euphorix. A spy alerts Harry Hokum of
her decision fate and Hokum ponders an alliance with Dulak. (OM 17)
Lobo prevents Euphorix's ship from decimating the Omega Men and
then vaporizes the asteroid along with the clones. He recounts the
Velorpians' fate: the Psions had introduced a virus into their world,
rendering all sterile. On the Psion Homeworld, Primus destroys the
replicating machine and its master. Nimbus guides Felicity's conscience
back to her own body, out of Tigorr's. This is the first time his
touch conveys anything but death. (OM 20)
The Omegans answer a call from Nimbus on the gutter world of Dredfahl.
Since the Replicave incident, Tigorr and Felicity have grown closer
together; he has become more docile, perhaps due to Felicity's psychic
residue in his mind. Nimbus finds himself embroiled in a brawl and
is forced to perform a mercy killing. This enrages the locals, and
Nimbus, in shock of his actions, retreats inside his nebulous self.
Primus, Doc and Broot decide to venture into his dark form to try
to help. On Raggashoon, Mama Madame has a mysterious conversation
in which she suggests that Harpis' memories of her "past" on
that planet are false. (OM 22)
In light of Tigorr and Harpis' blooming relationship, Felicity leaves
the Omega Men and returns to Karna. Her comrades, attempting to hold
back the Spider Guild, receive the aid the Omega Men encounter Green
Lantern of Sector 2828 near Raggashoon. He helps them in defiance
of the Guardians' noninterference agreement. (OMANN 2)
In the city of Ghaa'Tu, Felicity is finding life on Karna nothing
like she'd expected. (Shortly after she was born, she and her mother
were captured by Gordanians slave traders and sold off-planet.) Tigorr
was the first other Karnan feline she'd ever met. She makes a modest
living as an exotic dancer and hooks up with a man named "Mung." In
truth, Mung is the bounty hunter Bedlam, who'd been stranded on Karna
earlier. During the time that Felicity is with Mung, a rash of serial
killings occurs. Victims appear to have been gored by cat's claws.
In truth, Felicity was the killer. Like Tigorr, she is a "regressor," one
of the last Karnans who can change their shape. During these transformations,
she commits murder yet retains no memories of her actions. Ultimately,
Captain Grynt pegs Mung as the killer and intervenes just in time
to prevent him from killing Felicity. She decides to leave Karna
and return to the Omega Men. (OM 32)
Excitement brews throughout Vega as its citizens begin to see the
advertisements from the Omega Men heralding a major announcement
on Tweener Network. Artin has freed himself from the symbiotic relationship
with Primus and transfers his conscience to a robot body. He uses "holoderm" to
simulate a humanoid appearance. Finally free from the Citadel and
the Spiders, Doc's ship intercepts Artin's. It's followed by a Citadel
ship, which is in turn attacked by the returning Felicity. On Kuraq,
Tigorr prepares for the arrival of Vegan refugees as the Tweeners
begin their broadcast. The Omega Men explain to the Vegans that they
have the opportunity to come and live on Kuraq, the Omegan colony,
but they must forsake their former homes, as the planet's location
location is a secret. At first, the Psions are concerned that this
may interrupt their Vegan experiements, but they soon discover that
because of the departure of the Guardians of the Universe (Green
Lantern #200), they are no longer confined to Vegan space. Harry
Hokum is left on his own, as the Psions suggest that he, too has
been a part of one of their experiments. Finally, Artin initiates
the Psion teleportational circuits which can transport anyone to
Kuraq simply by placing the image of Primus' hand. The teleporters
then relay people to satellites above each world, on to Refuge, and
then to Kuraq. Doc, Shlagen, Rynoc, Zirral, Uhlan, Ynda, Harpis and
Tigorr remain on Kuraq to help guide the new colony. Felicity, Elu
and Artin decide to venture to Okaara and find Ryand'r. Primus and
Kalista descend into the depths of Euphorix, seeking the aid of the
planet's Old Ones to defeat the Spiders. (OM 38)
When the Dominators and Khunds began forming an Alliance for the
invasion Earth, several Vegan races (the Okaarans, Gordanians, Psions
and New Citadel) join them. This powerful Alliance imprisons many
of the universe's greatest heroes on the Starlag. The Starlag is
based in the Vegan system and run by the Citadel. By this time, the
Spider Guild are working simply as "independent contractors" to
the Alliance instead of joining it. The Dominion sends a fake distress
call from Primus and Kalista which lures Tigorr and the other Omegans
into a Durlan trap. In this hopeless battle, three Omega Men are
killed: Ynda, Felicity and the Green Man. All the others, including
Broot, Harpis, Doc, Shlagen, Oho Besh, Ryand'r and Tigorr are captured.
(INV 1) (See also the L.E.G.I.O.N. Chronology)
Felicity first uses her shape-changing ability (like Tigorr's)
here. Her abililty to "regress" was revealed in the letters
column of Omega Men #36. (Teen Titans Spotlight #15
Tigorr found Feclicity unconscious, a prisoner of the Spiders and
Lady Styx. She awoke immediately upon hearing his call. She told
him that she'd refused to become one of Styx's thralls, and so
she remained in her dead underworld, a place much like the Hades
of Earth legend. Tigorr refused to leave her behind and so she agreed
to show him the way out.
