Young Isobel Blake was the daughter of Space Patrol Captain John Blake, who was assigned to the Dutch Harbor Space Station on Pluto. The Teachmaster, the Science Pirate, brainwashed the captain into becoming a traitor. The Space Patrol reported to the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate, which sent Lash Lightning to investigate the case. Lash wrongly thought Isobel was involved in the plot and made her believe that he too worked for the Teachmaster and that he had been sent to help her to escape. Isobel played along hoping to clear her father's name, but after they both repelled a surprise attack, the two confessed their ruse and joining forces, they went in search of the Teachmaster. But the Science Pirate was prepared and managed to capture them. The villain connected Lash to a device that would kill him by overloading his electric powers. Lash barely survived, but he knew he would not be able to come to the aid of the Confederation of Planets forces in time. His only hope was to transfer some of his power to Isobel, which she gladly accepted despite the risk to his life. Lash pumped his energy into the girl's body, transforming her into a female counterpart of himself. Thanks to her new powers, Isobel was able to help the Space Patrol in time, while Lash broke Captain Blake's brainwashing by showing him the image of his daughter. Captain Blake fought against the Teachmaster's forces and died a hero. At his funeral, Isobel vowed to join Lash in his battle against evil. Isobel was later accepted into the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate, under the name of Lightning Girl.
Some time later, Isobel was traveling back to Earth when her spaceship was attacked by pirates near Ganymede. She was unable to stop the assailants, who left her for dead. The burning spaceship crashed on the surface of Ganymede, but Isobel was rescued by Auro. Unable to send out a distress signal, Auro decided to accompany Isobel back to civilization, crossing the jungle to the nearest outpost. Along the way, Isobel, Auro and his devilcat Tara had many adventures and the two humans fell in love.
