When I was becoming more philosophically aware as an adolescent, I got very confused by all the talk of Ayn Rand and her very particular form of objectivism, because I kept getting her mixed up with the character of An Ryd, who was Ultra Boy's old flame and showed up in the one issue of Legion of Super-Heroes that I had as a kid and read a million times over.
Poor An is quickly murdered in an attempt to frame Jo Nah, while Ayn has inspired some of the most terrible people in the world, who have objectively made the world a worse place. Ultra Boy's old girlfriend only ever appeared for a few pages in a Legion of Super-Heroes comic, but she was probably a better source of inspiration.
