Biography[]
Early life[]
Baby Lita with her parents in an alternate timeline.
Lita was born in 2004 to Ali. She was named after Lita Ford, of the punk band the Runaways.[1]
Meeting her father[]
Lita was told a couple of stories about her father, who wasn't present in her life. After this, she pieced together that Mick Rory, AKA Rebecca Silver, was her father.
Because she was angry at her father for not being there, Lita wrote a negative review about the Rebecca Silver book, Heatwaves, which brought her into the attention of her father and Zari Tarazi. They firstly sent her a signed copy of the book. However, when she received the book, she recorded a video of her burning it.
Zari tracked the metadata of the video and located Lita in a house in Central City. She was then confronted by Mick, who expected a boy, and Zari. Mick delivered a speech to Lita, during which Ali confronted him. She told Mick that Lita was his daughter and that Lita hated him since he was not around. Ali encouraged them to get to know each other, but Mick wiped both Ali and Lita's memories of them being there and stormed off.[1]
Mick's rewrite[]

Mind-wiped.
Per Ava's suggestion, Mick tried to be part of Lita's life. He decided to "photo reel" himself into her important moments to build a bond with her. However, she never could accept the excuse that his visits were due to limited parole time (as the Mick in her present day hadn't conceived her) and just ended up angry with him all the same. She remained unaware Mick had tried his best and had only made him just as angry.[2]
Visiting the Waverider[]
Mick talked with Ali and got the weekend with Lita, and at first wanted to take her to a roller derby but instead they spend the day on the ship. She needed to study for a history test about the French Revolution, so Mick got Nate Heywood to help. Lita, who hates guns and protested against them in her past, wasn't impressed with her dad's Heat Gun when he showed her that it was his special skill, especially when compared to the powers the other Legends wield. When Nate suggested that Mick should show her his souvenir from Marie Antoinette, he showed her where he had all of the souvenirs he stole, including all his money, and she suggested he should invest it. He blew up at her over the idea causing the rift between them to get worse. After the attack of Marchosias, and with the sacrifice Mick did to save her, she decided to spend the rest of the weekend with him and called him "Dad". Seeing that he cares for her, Lita accepts him as her father.[3]
Lita and Henry Neuman at Hudson University.
While visiting a university as the Legends looked for the Chalice of Dionysus, Lita felt a little out of place. She wound up helping Nate scout for the cup's location. She also opened up to her dad about her true feelings about the university. She ended up helping him destroy Dion's keg supply in an attempt for the Legends to gain the chalice.[4]
"Star Trip"[]
Lita and her mother in Loomworld.
When the Fates changed the world so that free will was a punishable offense and they were praised as gods, Lita ate mush as she watched "Star Trip", a television show that had "Dhan" as its main antagonist, with her mother. She got nauseated when her mom said that Dhan was hot unaware it was really Mick. She became delighted and hugged Ali as the show was canceled because it meant that the actors demonstrated free will.[5]
After reuniting with her dad, Mona, and Gary Green, the four returned to the Waverider after it returned from a four-month absence. She found Charlie feeling depressed and tried to cheer her up. She pointed out how amazing free will is by using the fact that she knows that present day Mick was her father, and how he traveled back in time to his high school reunion, hooked up with her mom, and conceived her. Doing this revealed that she knew that the 2004 Mick wasn't really her dad. However, she also pointed out how grateful she was for it because she has a dad who loves her very much. Encouraged by her words, Charlie got her to help her bring the Hellfire Weapons that the Legends had collected to help Mick and the others fight Lachesis at the History Museum.
Later, Mick took Lita to see her favorite band, The Smell, in concert; she was delighted to learn that Charlie was a member. She laughed and hugged her father as they discussed that the next morning was a school day.[6] Mick took his daughter home to Ali soon afterwards.[7]
College and unexpected pregnancy[]
Later, Lita had gone to college.[8] Mick, who knew when it was his daughter's "time of the month,"[9] called her. He often became upset, because Lita was usually busy with schoolwork or at a party when he called. Mick was especially dismayed to hear boys Lita was hanging out with in the background.[8]
While at college, Lita met a guy named Niko in her Intersectionality and Feminist Activism class. By 2023, she and Niko had begun dating, and much to her joy, she became pregnant with their child. Unfortunately, by 2022, Mick had stopped contact with her for an unknown reason, making Lita worried the worst had happened, and the child would never meet their grandfather.
Lita arrives on the Waverider.
Mick from 2021 video-called Lita from the Waverider and was confused when she appeared surprised by his call and told him she needed to see him right away. Mick told her he had lost his "portal thingy," but when he finally managed to get a portal to her open on the Waverider, he was shocked to see she was pregnant. Ava greeted and congratulated her, explaining to Mick that they had accidentally opened a portal to Lita's future. Mick then had an outburst at Lita for "getting herself knocked up." Lita then snapped at him, explaining how he hadn't been in contact for over a year and calling him a dead-beat. Mick later tried to talk to Lita and found her in the kitchen, failing to open a jar. He offered to help her, and she refused, but eventually gave up and allowed him to help. Mick then asked her to tell him about Niko.
Lita and the Legends celebrate Behrad's birthday.
Later, Lita talked to Ava, who then helped Mick and Lita reconcile. They were overheard by Sara Lance, who doubted Mick would calm down so quickly, suspecting his sudden interest in her boyfriend was to gather intel to kill him. Worried, Lita, Sara, and Gary Green went after him. When they found him, they discovered that Mick had intended to kill Niko, but they had talked it out instead. Mick told Lita he wanted his grandchild to have two loving parents, which he never had himself. They were then confused when Mick became emotional over his fling with Kayla, and swiftly left. Lita followed him and tried to talk to him about Kayla, but he wouldn't talk. Gary soon realized Kayla had laid her eggs in Mick's head, essentially impregnating him.[10]
Lita tried to get her father to talk about it and get examined at the med bay, worrying about how the eggs would impact his body. Mick wanted to ignore it was happening and refused to get treated. Lita then faked going into labour after which Mick rushed her to the med bay. There, Lita revealed the ruse and convinced him to let Gideon examine him.[11]
Personality[]
Similarly to her father, Mick Rory, Lita likes burning things. Initially, she hated Mick for not being around while she was growing up. She also hated him for when he tried to be in key moments in her life. Eventually, she came to care for Mick and see him as her father after he risked his life to save her from a hellhound, proving he cared about her.
Lita also has ideas and beliefs similar to Mick's, such as pissing off rich kids, because of their hatred towards them. She also expressed how grateful she was that 2020 Mick traveled back in time in order to hook up with her mother, Ali. This proves that she understood why Mick wasn't very present in her life, and why free will is amazing.
