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 iterations 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 was also subjected to experiments performed by Psion scientists, which gave her additional powers. Escaping her captors, she found 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 Teen Titans Go!. 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] Wolfman named the character as a pun on the word coriander.[3]

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.[4]

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Princess Koriand'r was born on the planet Tamaran, located in the Vega system. Koriand'r was the second of three children. She and her brother Ryand'r are placed first in the line of succession after their older sister Komand'r is crippled by a childhood illness that robs her of the ability to fly. Shunned and embittered by Tamaran's society, Komand'r allies with the Citadel and helps them conquer Tamaran.

Koriand'r is captured by the Citadel for six years and subjected to physical and emotional torture and sexual abuse. She and Komand'r are both captured by the Psions, who experiment on them and test their ability to absorb solar energy. Both sisters gain the ability to project blasts of solar energy, referred to as "starbolts". Koriand'r escapes and eventually finds her way to Earth, where she gains the help of the Teen Titans.[5]

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 adventure she had with her teammates was battling against Grant Wilson aka the Ravager, the son of the mercenary Deathstroke, who was gifted enhanced abilities like his father due to the experiments by the terrorist organization H.I.V.E.. She would also aid the Titans by protecting the planet Earth and the dimension of Azarath from the demon Trigon, and battling against various supervillains including the Fearsome Five, Brother Blood and the former members of the Brotherhood of Evil, Madame Rouge, and General Zahl. At one point, Starfire became a model under the alias "Kory Anders".

Starfire was also romantically linked with Dick Grayson (aka Robin, later Nightwing) in various runs of Teen Titans.

In New Titans, Tamaran is attacked by the Psions, who destabilize the planet's core. Starfire's parents Myand'r and Luand'r, manage to evacuate the planet before it is destroyed, but choose to remain behind in an attempt to defend Tamaran and are killed in the ensuing explosion.[6]

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 due to Luthor altering the Zeta Beams that would have returned them to Earth. After returning to Earth, the three heroes reunite on several occasions, including the limited series Countdown to Adventure and Rann–Thanagar War.[7]

Justice League and R.E.B.E.L.S.

[edit]

Following the dissolution of the current JLA after Blackest Night, Starfire is invited by Donna to join Kimiyo Hoshi's new Justice League.[8] After a short time with the team, Starfire quit the team and left a note to Dick explaining why. She then returns to where Tamaran used to be, to find that it had mysteriously returned. It is revealed that Vril Dox has moved the planet Rann where Tamaran used to be. Starfire agrees to join Legion and enters into a relationship with Captain Comet. Tamaranean refugees led by Blackfire attack Rann, believing that since the planet was in Tamaran's orbit they had claim to it. Dox resolves the conflict by allowing the Tamaraneans to live on Rann's uninhabited southern continent.

Red Hood and the Outlaws

[edit]

In 2011, DC Comics cancelled all of their monthly titles and rebooted the DC Universe continuity with 52 new titles in an initiative dubbed The New 52. As part of the relaunch, Starfire became the cast member of the series Red Hood and the Outlaws. In the new continuity, the character appears to have a similar origin, though she is now a member of that titular group, in which Jason Todd (Red Hood) and Roy Harper (Arsenal) are her teammates. As in the previous continuity, she has a past relationship with Dick Grayson. One significant change to her backstory is that she was sold into slavery by her sister to save Tamaran from the Citadel. Another is that her ship, which crashed on a tropical island, appears to be her primary home, where she keeps a number of articles of Dick Grayson's clothing - which eventually serve to become part of Jason's Red Hood uniform.[9][10]

It is soon revealed that Koriand'r is the commander of a spaceship named Starfire, the crew consisting of slaves she helped free when she herself escaped slavery. The Starfire has returned to earth for Kory because that Tamaran has been taken over by the Blight, a parasitic alien species.[11] Starfire talks to Roy and Jason in private and explains that she and Komand'r, her sister, were always not on the best of terms, though they tried. This is mainly because Kory blames her sister and the people of Tamaran for her enslavement, so she is torn on if she should help them now. Roy is then kidnapped during an attack on the ship and taken to Tamaran, driving Starfire to go to her home planet.[12] Eventually, Starfire decides she cannot leave her people and her sister helpless, so after they rescue Roy, the Outlaws and the crew of the Starfire help Blackfire take back Tamaran, and Kori reconciles with her sister.

Additionally, she adopts Syl'Khee, a worm-like alien based on Silkie from the Teen Titans animated series.[13] She desires to experience a normal human life and appeared to have no interest in heroism or her former life. She befriends the local Sheriff, Stella Gomez, who helps her find a place to live and constantly dealt with Kori's naiveté regarding human culture. Kori also meets Stella's widowed brother, Sol (who happened to bear a striking resemblance to Dick Grayson), and later began dating him. Starfire later meets Atlee, a waitress who is secretly a super-powered woman from a civilization living below the Earth's surface. Despite no longer wanting be a hero, trouble continues to find Kori in her new home and she is forced to defend Key West from various threats.

Character overview

[edit]

Sexuality and culture

[edit]

Tamaraneans are depicted as an emotionally expressive people who view affection, nudity, and sexual intimacy without the taboos common to human society. Physical closeness, such as kissing, can also serve cultural and practical purposes rather than being strictly romantic (such as kissing to absorb language). Marriage in Tamaran, however, is shown to be a monogamous institution and is often arranged for political reasons. This cultural openness has sometimes brought Starfire into conflict with Earth's social norms, where her comfort with nudity or casual displays of affection may be misunderstood. Despite this leading to much online speculation over Starfire's personal sexual preferences, her canonical romantic relationships have been portrayed as heterosexual.

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.[citation needed] This energy also gives her incredible superhuman strength and durability. After being experimented on by the Psions, Starfire gained the ability to release her absorbed energy into powerful blasts called "starbolts".[5]

Starfire is also proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having been trained by the Warlords of Okaara. Her natural 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.[14] She later proved strong enough to fight against Wonder Woman for a short period of time and, during a fit of rage, was so strong that Donna was unable to contain her without the help of Mon-El.

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.[15] She is also able to absorb ambient ultraviolet energy consciously.[16] Starfire demonstrated more control over her powers in the New 52 reboot, using her internal energy to melt the metal of Jason Todd's gun when it came into contact with her skin.[citation needed]

Starfire, like all Tamaraneans, is capable of assimilating languages through physical contact with another person.[17] She also does not need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep to survive unless she is low on ultraviolet energy.[citation needed]
