Starfire is a superheroine created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez appearing in American comic books created by DC Comics. She debuted in a preview story inserted within DC Comics Presents #26 (October, 1980). Since the character's introduction, Starfire has been a major recurring character in Teen Titans and various other iteration of the team, sometimes depicted as the team's leader, and a significant love interest for Dick Grayson.
Within the main continuity of the DC Universe, her origin is revealed to be Princess Koriand'r, an alien princess from the planet Tamaran and heir to the throne until she was ousted in a coup by her elder sister, Komand'r (also known as Blackfire), who sold her into slavery. Subjected to torture and sexual exploitation, Koriand'r would later receive additional powers following experimentations by alien scientists. Escaping her captors, the character would find herself on Earth and befriended the Teen Titans, becoming a long-lasting member of the team.[1] The character has appeared on several other teams, including the Outsiders, Outlaws, and Justice League Odyssey. While on Earth, the character has been depicted as a model under the alias Kory Anders, occasionally the leader of the Teen Titans, and was the principal of Teen Titans Academy during a period in which the Titans help trained future superheroes of the DC Universe.
Starfire has been featured in various media outside comic books. Within television, she is notably voiced by Hynden Walch in the animated series Teen Titans and portrayed by Anna Diop in Titans. Additionally, Kari Wahlgren voices the character in the DC Animated Movie Universe, Injustice 2, and Lego DC Super-Villains.
Publication history
[edit]Created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, Starfire first appeared in a in DC Comics Presents #26 (October 1980), in a preview story heralding a new incarnation of the Teen Titans that also introduced Cyborg and Raven. The new series, The New Teen Titans, debuted in November 1980, and the Teen Titans subsequently became DC Comics' most popular superhero team of its day.[2]
Pérez said of his design for Starfire:
...I figured based on the description, was Red Sonja in outer space, so she ended up having a visual cue from that. When Joe Orlando passed by and saw the character sketches he suggested that maybe her hair should be longer. That I took to the ninth degree and gave her the Mighty Mouse contrail.[3]
Fictional character biography
[edit]Princess Koriand'r was born on the planet Tamaran, which is located in the Vega system. Koriand'r was the second of three children. Her older sister, Komand'r was the first in the line of succession, but she was crippled by a childhood illness that robbed her of her natural Tamaranean ability to convert ultraviolet light into flight energy. Therefore, she was deemed unworthy to be queen and the succession fell to Koriand'r. When both sisters were sent to train with the legendary Warlords of Okaara, the bitter Komand'r ran off, allying herself with the Citadel. They used Komand'r's information to successfully invade Tamaran, and King Myand'r turned Koriand'r over to the Citadel to ensure peace. Koriand'r spent living in the Citadel for six years under physical and emotional torture, even sexual abuse, until she and Komand'r were both captured by the Psions for experimentation. Widely known to be a sadistic scientific extraterrestrial race, the Psions performed a deadly experiment on both sisters to see just how much energy their Tamaranean bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. During the procedure, forces loyal to Komand'r attacked the Psion ship to rescue her, and while the Psions were distracted, Koriand'r broke free using her new ability of starbolts (destructive blasts of solar energy) acquired through experimentation. Against her better judgment, she decided to free Komand'r who was still absorbing energy. However, far from grateful, Komand'r struck her sister down with the same - but much stronger - starbolt power and had her restrained for later execution. Koriand'r escaped and eventually found her way to Earth, where she gained the help of the Teen Titans.
New life on Earth and as a member of the Teen Titans
[edit]Starfire would join the new iteration of the Teen Titans with Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Cyborg, Changeling and Raven. The first adventures she had with her teammates was battling against Grant Wilson aka the Ravager, the son of the mercenary Deathstroke The Terminator who was gifted enhanced abilities like his father due to the experiments that the terrorist organization H.I.V.E., he would later die in battle and Deathstroke would later blame the Titans for his son's death (even though H.I.V.E. was responsible of Grant's death because the experimentation was too unstable), she would also aid the Titans by protecting the planet Earth and the dimension of Azarath from the demon and Raven's evil father Trigon The Terrible, battle against the supervillain team known as the Fearsome Five, leadered by Psimon, a psychic villain who was given telepathic abilities by Trigon and acted as his agent on Earth, Deathstroke, the Puppeteer, an old villian of Green Lantern, the Titans of Myth, Brother Blood and the former members of the Brotherhood of Evil, Madame Rouge and General Zahl. At one point, she would become a successful super model under her human alias "Kory Anders", she would enjoy her career because she got to express her beauty in every form of clothing no matter the modesty, she dated and fell in love with a human man named Franklin Crandall, who turned out to be a freelance spy working for H.I.V.E. and was eventually killed because he decided truly loved Starfire and couldn't betray his feelings towards her. Enranged for Franklin's death, Starfire attempted to kill the H.I.V.E. agent who murdered her lover until she was stopped by Wonder Girl. The death of Crandall left Koriand'r depressed and angry to the point that she would become more hostile towards her enemies while trying to move forward with her friends, she was unable to be with Dick because despite that she had feelings to him since the day they met, Dick decided to focus on his leader role and only wanted Starfire to be his friend much to her displeasure. One day, Starfire would be captured by the Gordanians again by orders of Blackfire so then she can continue tormenting her little sister, Komand'r turns Koriand'r over to Lord Damyn, the repulsive Citadel chieftain, and learns of the Citadel's plans to kidnap X'Hal, the Vegans' living goddess. While the Titans team-up with the Omega Men to stop the Citadel and rescue Starfire, Blackfire presents the Citadel leaders with the captive X'Hal, just as the Titans attack to rescue Starfire. A standoff results when Cyborg threatens to kill Lord Damyn unless Komand'r surrenders. Blackfire resolves the situation by ruthlessly destroying Damyn herself and claiming the throne of the Citadel homeworld. Starfire recovers and attacks her sister, beginning a new skirmish between Titans and aliens, until Lord Damyn's Psion advisor takes control of the Citadel forces. He then pits Starfire against Blackfire in a duel to the death, ostensibly to decide Komand'r's succession and the fate of Tamaran, although he secretly plans a double-cross. On Tamaran's surface, the death-duel results in Blackfire's seeming demise, but triggers a series of explosions that will wipe out the Vegan system (as the Psion had planned), even as the other Titans and the Omega Men are reunited on the Citadel homeworld. Vega is saved only when X'Hal breaks free and detonates the explosives harmlessly. Raven heals the badly injured Starfire. after which Koriand'r is reunited briefly with her parents, King Myand'r and Queen Luand'r and her brother, Ryand'r, before returning to Earth with her teammates. When returning to Earth, Robin reveals his feelings to Starfire and they would soon start falling in love with each other. Starfire and the rest of the Teen Titans invited a mysterious girl with earth-based powers called Terra at Garfield's request to the team, when in reality, Terra was an undercover spy working for Deathstroke and the H.I.V.E.
Judas Contract and Terror of Trigon
[edit]Koriand'r was attacked by an explosive on her apartment that was sent by Slade under the form of a letter that left her unconscious, she later wakes up alongside her friends strapped to a giant machine which is slowly siphoning away their life energy. She and the Titans would be saved by Dick Grayson, under his new identity of Nightwing and Joseph "Joey" Wilson aka Jericho, Deathstroke's second son, Joey frees the team by possessing Slade, Starfire begins assaulting the members of H.I.V.E. while the rest of the Titans battle both Deathstroke and Terra, but when Terra's powers begin to shake the headquarters, Koriand'r and Donna decide to create a perimeter to keep the zealots saved, she laters aids Cyborg in fighting Slade until Terra causes a mountain of earth and debris to collapse down from the ceiling, killing herself in the process. The Titans bring Terra's body back to New York for burial. The funeral service is small and only the Titans and the Outsiders are in attendance. The Titans let Tara's surviving brother Geo-Force believe that she died heroically while fighting the H.I.V.E.. After Jericho joins the Teen Titans, Starfire would join the her friends in a fun training exercise on Titans Island. The game is tag and their objective is to capture Jericho. Jericho keeps the Titans on their toes by alternately taking possession of each of their bodies and using their unique talents against each other. Everyone returns to the Tower to discuss the matter. They want to help Raven, but unless she elects to confide in them, they don't know what to do. Raven enters the meeting room and tells them that she is leaving the team. She is dealing with matters of the soul that the others could not hope to understand. Koriand'r and the Titans plead with her to let them help, but Raven is adamant. She announces that she will depart the following morning. Koriand'r and Dick would be awaken at night when they sense something off at Raven's room, The Titans go to Raven's room and Joey tries his best to describe what he experienced after Raven disappeared (using sign language). The sky outside Titans Tower grows immensely dark and peals of thunder accompanied by an omnipresent sinister laughter echoes all around them. An impenetrable darkness blankets the Earth, and an unnatural thunderstorm assails New York and Titans Tower I, all of which are manifestations of the imminent return of Trigon. Former Teen Titans member Lilith Clay rejoins the team to help them search for the vanished Raven, but first insists they also recruit Wally West, the former Kid Flash, because of his former close relationship with the empath. She then leads the young heroes in a seance, using Raven's rings as a focus. Lilith taps the power of Raven's rings to return herself, the Teen Titans, and Arella to Earth after arriving to the ruined Azarath, which has been totally taken over by Trigon. The demon himself appears to be asleep atop Titans Tower, while the Titans encounter the transformed Raven in the streets of a hellish version of New York. They attempt to reason with her, then fight her, to no avail.
Jericho is thrown into shock by his attempt to possess her, and Wally West and the other Titans are banished into the realm of their own nightmares. There, each confronts an evil version of him/herself, Starfire battles her duplicate who taunts her with an image of her homeworld enslaved by the Gordanians, and claims that she can only save the planet by returning to slavery herself. Each of the Titans trapped in nightmares of their own worst fears is taunted by his or her evil double until, one by one, they turn on their tormenting duplicates and kill them.
The column they made up on Earth is shaken apart, and the Titans reappear as their own dark sides. Raven believes they are now Trigon's slaves, but Lilith tells her that by forcing the heroes to kill, she has instead sealed her own doom. Raven orders the transformed Titans to destroy Lilith, but instead they unite against Raven herself and slay her. With her death, the Titans return to normal and to their right minds, just as Trigon awakens to take vengeance for the death of his daughter. Trigon awakens at full strength, possessing the souls of everyone on Earth except the Titans and Arella, and grown to an even more gigantic stature, many times the size of the former Titans Tower. During the final battle, Starfire uses her starbolt powers to protect Lilith and Arella from the falling tower and now uses them to free them from the rubble. She then locates and revives Nightwing. As the Titans approach, Trigon begins to open a gateway to his ravaged home universe, intending to recreate it by allowing it to absorb the dimension containing Earth. While the Titans fight a delaying action, Arella and Lilith, who is being controlled by Azar, replace Raven's rings on her body. Raven's soul-self, now an angelic pure-white entity serving as a conduit for the power of Azar, rises from her still form and grows to envelop Trigon, ultimately destroying him. The form of Raven rises from the battle site and is lost to view, the darkness which had covered the world vanishes, and the Earth returns to normal.
Infinite Crisis and aftermath
[edit]In Infinite Crisis, Starfire is among the heroes who battle Alexander Luthor Jr. and stop him from destroying the multiverse. She is presumed dead, but survives and is teleported to another planet alongside Animal Man and Adam Strange.
After returning to Earth, the three heroes reunite on several occasions, including the limited series Countdown to Adventure and Rann–Thanagar War.[4]
Justice League and R.E.B.E.L.S.
[edit]Following the dissolution of the JLA in Blackest Night, Starfire joins Kimiyo Hoshi's new Justice League.[5] She quits the team shortly afterward and joins L.E.G.I.O.N. The group battles a group of Tamaranean refugees led by Blackfire and agrees to let them live in an uninhabited portion of Rann.[6]
Red Hood and the Outlaws
[edit]In The New 52 continuity reboot, Starfire was sold to the Citadel to protect Tamaran from them. Additionally, Blackfire is a neutral figure who assists her in retaking Tamaran from the parasitic Blight.[7]
Starfire
[edit]In 2015, Starfire received a self-titled series where she returns to Earth and moves to Key West. Additionally, she adopts Syl'Khee, a worm-like alien based on Silkie. She desired to experience a normal human life and appeared to have no interest in heroism or her former life. She befriended the local Sheriff, Stella Gomez, who helped her find a place to live and constantly dealt with Kori's naiveté regarding human culture. Kori also got to know Stella's widowed brother, Sol (who happened to bear a striking resemblance to Dick Grayson), and later began dating him. Starfire later met Atlee, a waitress who was secretly a super-powered woman from a civilization living below the Earth's surface. Despite no longer wanting be a hero, trouble continued to find Kori in her new home and she was forced to defend Key West from various threats. After a trip to Atlee's home, Starfire decided that she should once again use her powers to help others. She left her friends in Key West and tried her hand at being a hero once again.[8]
Character overview
[edit]Personality
[edit]Starfire to many may seem as though the preppy/ ditzy kind of girl, however that’s far from the truth. While she may be sweet she also has a fiery side, she can be aggressive towards her enemies to the point of desiring to annihilate them which has led the Titans, specially Nightwing, in trying to keep her in line, but the reason of her agressiveness is due to being raised in Tamaran on being opened emotional and trained to be a warrior since she was kid by the Warlords of Okaara. Starfire is the caring and hope of the Titans. She brings light into a almost dark and lost world. She has struggled through so much only to rise above it and not let it defy her as a character. Though she has gone through many adaptations, her core attributes seem to always stay apart of her character. She is a extremely knowledgeable person however she can be a bit naive at times when it comes to the customs and cultures of Earth. She is a character with strong emotions as her species has learned to control them and give them meaning, making the Tamaranean a unmatchable emotional character. She can love to the fullest and she can show saddens and feel it upon others. She is aware of everyone else’s feelings and does her best to adapt to her surroundings and try to come to a clear conclusion of how to go about certain subjects. She is a friend to all and holds true to her values as well as beliefs in life. Whether she is back home on Tamaran or among her new home earth, Starfire personality is one that DC has been able to present through years of changes.
Relationships
[edit]Starfire has had many relationships whether it be from family and friends to Tamaran to Teamates and Lovers on Earth, this spot will go over those each and individual categories and display who those people have been. Both men that Starfire was married to were both arranged marriages for the benefit of her home world Tamaran. Dick Grayson is and always has been in her words “soul mate”. He is the main love interest in Starfire life and no other man has come close. In one instance, Koriand'r and Dick almost go married until their wedding was interrupted by Raven (who was evil at the time due to her father Trigon controlling her mind). Raven murdered the priest before he could pronounce Dick and Koriand'r husband and wife. The relationship was already on unsteady ground after Raven came in, with Koriand'r fearing that Dick was rushing into marriage and also concerned about the anti-alien sentiments that sprang up in response to the news of the impending nuptials, despite their break-up, they still hang out and work together in the Titans as friends, while Dick started dating his old partner Barbara Gordon again. Starfire also had long-time friendships in the Teen Titans with Donna Troy and Raven, Starfire refers the two of them sometimes as even her sisters.
Sexuality and cultural preferences
[edit]Within the depiction of Tamaran's culture in the DC Universe, concepts such as open marriage are more common and accepted. Due to her upbringing, Starfire's sex-positivism and free-thinking habits such as a fondness for practicing nudism, openness to polygamous relationships and acceptance of "open sex" and pansexual "free-love" with persons regardless of terrestrial species, race or gender, usually lead her into conflict with Earth's more reserved culture and customs.[9][10] In recent years, the character was developed to be polyamorous and pansexual.[9][10]
Powers and abilities
[edit]Starfire is a Tamaranean and as such her physiology is designed to constantly absorb ultraviolet radiation. The radiation is then converted to pure energy, allowing her to fly at supersonic speeds. Starfire is capable of using this power to fly in space and even go fast enough to cross several solar systems in minutes to seconds. This energy also gives her incredible superhuman strength and durability. This strength, combined with her fighting skills, allowed her to defeat the powerful Donna Troy about one out of three times during purely hand to hand matches.[11] She later proved strong enough to fight against Wonder Woman for a certain period of time and, during a fit of rage, was so strong that Donna Troy was unable to contain her without the help of Mon-El. It must be stated however that when this event occurred, Donna Troy was only one-tenth of Diana's strength. Donna Troy was not the powerhouse of strength she is now in DC's Rebirth era. Superman even admitted in the "Batman Who Laughs" story arc during a fight with Donna Troy that she is now just as powerful as Wonder Woman. In the 2003 TV series, Starfire was strong enough to easily throw vehicles and destroy entire streets with her blows. After being experimented on by the alien Psions, Starfire gained the ability to release her absorbed energy into powerful blasts called "starbolts."
As shown in the "Insiders" crossover story arc (Teen Titans and Outsiders), Starfire can also release nearly all of her stored energy as a powerful Omni-directional explosive burst, many times stronger and more powerful than her standard blasts. The released energy leaves her in a weakened state.[12] She's also shown that she can consciously absorb ambient Ultraviolet Energy [13] Starfire also demonstrated more control over her powers in the New 52 reboot, having used her internal energy to melt the metal of Jason Todd's gun when it came into contact with her skin. Starfire, and all Tamaraneans, are capable of assimilating languages through physical contact with another person. When Starfire attempts to do so with a male, she typically does so by kissing because it is "more fun" for her. Starfire is also proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having been trained by the Warlords of Okaara. She also doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep and doesn't require an atmosphere to breathe unless she is low on ultraviolet energy.
