History:

(Star Trek I#9) - When the crew of the Enterprise began falling under the control of a being called the Unity, Lt. Fletcher took over Lt. Uhura's communication panel when the Unity took control of Uhura.

(Star Trek I#14) - Lt. Fletcher was aboard the Enterprise when they visited the planet Zeta Reticuli II. When Uhura joined Captain Kirk's away team to the planet, Lt. Fletcher assumed control of the communications station. When Commander Spock saw an approaching meteroid shower that would arrive in 42 hours, Spock had Lt. Fletcher appraise Captain Kirk of the situation, but Kirk's personality had fallen under the influence of Menteptah II, the descendant of a pharaoh whose consciousness had been held within machines on the planet's surface. Soon after, Fletcher found herself unable to raise any members of the away team. Eventually, Dr. McCoy contacted Fletcher and warned them that Kirk wasn't himself. Kirk stunned McCoy before he could Fletcher more. Soon after, the possesed Enterprise crewman on the surface fired a beam at the Enterprise that caused the ship to begin shrinking - however, it did not reduce the inhabitants in size, placing them in jeopardy of being crushed by the contracting ship. Fletcher and the rest of the bridge crew were able to stay alive but the ship increased in mass as it shrunk and started to lose its orbit, decaying towards the planet. Fortunately, on the surface, Spock had returned the possessed crew to normal and learned how to reverse the effects of the ray, restoring the Enterprise to its normal size.

(Star Trek I#16) - Lt. Fletcher was aboard the Enterprise as they visited the planet Valerian. As Captain Kirk led an away team in an effort to find missing Federation colonists on the planet, Lt. Fletcher used the Enterprise's sensors to examine the surface. She found there were humanoid lifesigns 10 kilometers beneath the planet's surface, but the humanoids were only 15 centimeters tall.

    Could the Trek comics from different companies all fit in the same continuity - in theory they should, but with the sheer number of comics from so many creators someone will have created a continuity clash somewhere. Naturally the Trek wiki says the comics are non-canon, because they are very strict on that - anything not in the shows or movies is non-canon to them (Doctor Who fandom is pretty much the opposite - it's all canon, and any discrepancies can be explained away by time travel altering history). Again, I'd go with "this is Marvel's version, which on its own fits with the show just fine, and maybe all of the comics count no matter who published what when, or maybe they don't, but we don't need to confirm because we're only concerned with the Marvel stuff." - Loki
