Shrinking Violet joins the Legion later, as do her fellow applicants [[Sun Boy]] and [[Bouncing Boy]]. Despite her shyness, Shrinking Violet, known as Vi to her teammates, serves as an exemplary Legionnaire. She becomes romantically involved with Duplicate Boy of the [[Heroes of Lallor]].

Years later, Violet is kidnapped by Imsk radicals and replaced in the Legion by [[Yera Allon]], a Durlan who uses her shapeshifting abilities to assume Violet's identity. Legion deputy leader [[Element Lad]] and [[Science Police]] liaison [[Shvaughn Erin]] become suspicious of the fake Violet when Yera suddenly falls in love with [[Gim Allon|Colossal Boy]], who harbored an unrequited crush on the real Violet for years. Yera's charade is exposed and the real Violet is rescued. After returning to active duty, Violet breaks up with Duplicate Boy and enters a short-term romantic relationship with fellow Legionnaire Sun Boy.

During the "Five Year Later" storyline, it is implied that Violet is in a lesbian relationship with [[Lightning Lass]].<ref>{{cite web| url= https://www.gayleague.com/shrinking-violet-lightning-lass/ |title= Shrinking Violet & Lightning Lass| website= GayLeague.com| access-date= November 25, 2017}}</ref> After the Legion's disintegration in the aftermath of the [[Paul Levitz]]-written era, Violet returns to Imsk and participates in a war against Braal, the home planet of [[Cosmic Boy]]. Delirious with pain, Cosmic Boy attacks Violet and injures her right eye.

In the "Legion on the Run" storyline, she operates under the alias '''Virus''', as Legion leader.

During the [[Legion of Super-Heroes#"Five Years Later"|"Five Year Gap"]] following the Magic Wars, Earth falls under the control of the [[Dominators (DC Comics)|Dominators]] and leaves the [[United Planets]], during which "Batch SW6", temporal clones of the Legionnaires, escape captivity.<ref>''Legion of Super-Heroes'' (vol. 4) #38, late December 1992.</ref>

In the post-Zero Hour continuity, Violet is possessed by the Emerald Eye of Ekron, becoming '''Veye'''. She is freed and obtains [[Gim Allon|Leviathan]]'s powers in addition to her own. Since then, she has alternated between using the codename '''LeViathan''' in tribute to him, and simply being known as '''Violet'''.

{{main|Legion of Super-Heroes (2004 team)}}
In this continuity, Shrinking Violet is also known as Atom Girl, a myth to all but the founding Legion members. She is considered a joke by the second wave of Legionnaires, until Brainiac 5 reveals her in the battle against Elysion of Terror Firma.

===Post-Infinite Crisis===
The events of the ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' miniseries restore an analogue of the pre-''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths|Crisis]]'' Legion to continuity. In this continuity, which is a version of the "original" Legion had all of the retcons and manipulation of the timeline not occurred, Shrinking Violet is still at odds with Yera Allon, who joined the Legion as Chameleon Girl. It is revealed that her relationship with Lightning Lass from the Five Year Later gap had been incorporated into the main continuity and they are a lesbian couple.<ref>''Legion of Super-Heroes'' (vol. 6) Annual #1</ref>
