Shrinking Violet, voiced by Kari Wahlgren, has appeared in several episodes of the Legion of Super Heroes animated series. She was first mentioned in "Man of Tomorrow", and later had cameos in "Timber Wolf" and "Chain of Command", but her first real appearances wasn't until "Sundown – Part 2" where she helps the Legion spring the Fatal Five and the Emerald Empress out of prison. When they are double-crossed, Shrinking Violet sabotage's the Emerald Eye from the inside. After this she appears in a green costume. She has a notable snorting laugh.

In season 2, she is featured prominently in "Chained Lightning" where she uses her skills in transnuralplotonics, connecting a new robotic arm to Lighting Lad. Violet and Brainiac 5 seemed to have grown close in the episode "Chained Lightning"; whether this is just a friendship or something more was not explored before the series ended.

In the episode "Message in a Bottle", Shrinking Violet appears again, this time as part of a party that headed to the shrunken bottled city of Kandor to stop the original Brainiac. She was teleported with the Legion (they were shrunk first, using a special laser) to the city. She found, however, this affected her powers and she couldn't shrink right. She stands taller than everyone else by a few feet (by their proportion). She could grow to colossal size (huge to the citizens but still tiny to normal humans) as well. Her relationship with the Legion's Brainiac 5 is also hinted at in this episode.

In the series finale, after the corrupt Brainiac 1.0 data Brainiac 5 downloaded in "Message in a Bottle" comes to the fore, Brainiac 5 pushes Shrinking Violet roughly as he passes her in the hall.
