Storyline
Rita Lopez was raised by Hector and Elena Lopez. Although she believed that they were her actual parents, this was not the case. Monster Girl was in fact an alien, she was of the alien race Farfarmniflatch. She did not discover this, however, until she was an adult. She joined the Young Heroes with her childhood friend, Thunderhead.
Monster Girl is portrayed as a mischievous, cold, and selfish character. This is supported by the number of teammates she attempted to seduce. For a while, she was mainly romantically involved with her teammate and team leader Hard Drive. After he left, she assumed more of a leadership role.
Later in the series, she was confronted by her uncle Harnarnar. He forced her into a life and death fight all aliens of her age went through. She subdued the entity with help from friends and allies. Her uncle was very impressed. The reason for this was because she had used more than just skill to fight him. She had used her friends, battlefield obstacles and resources.
Monster Girl was last seen accepting an offer to work for Hard Drive, who became the governor of Connecticut.
