Starfire was traded as a slave by Blackfire to the Gordanians in order to bring peace to a war-torn Tamaran, after which their parents died from grief. Later, in the comic Teen Titans Go, it is revealed she also has a younger brother named Wildfire he was sent away when the Gordanians attacked Tamaran.
#STARFIRE NAME SERIES#
Her only family of which we know in the series is her evil big sister Blackfire, who, despite having rescued her often when the two were little, despises her. Starfire was cared for as a child by Galfore, who first appeared in " Betrothed". Because of this, Starfire is inherently the most sensitive member of the Titans. In fact, it is their emotions that further increase their natural abilities of flight, and projection of pure ultraviolet energy.
The Tamaraneans are an emotional race that see feelings and sensations as the force that drives their very livelihood and strengthens their abilities. Fingers crossed that this leads to a butt-kicking Blackfire-Female Furies team-up.Starfire was born and raised on the planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Thus, this series doesn't just put Blackfire in contact with one of the biggest baddies in the DC universe - it brings Tamaran itself much closer to Darkseid's Apokolyptian corner of the canon.
What's more, when Darkseid retrieves the mysterious "Other Box" from the tombs, he reveals that he hid it himself, many years ago. She gives him something he wants in Tamaran's royal tombs, and he promises to leave her and the planet she rules alone. She and Darkseid end up cutting a deal soon after. Justice League Odyssey #4 reveals Blackfire as "queen of ruins," with Tamaran having been brutalized in the 2018 Justice League: No Justice event. But still, Justice League Odyssey opens up a whole new world of storytelling for Tamaran's least favorite princess. Moreover, Blackfire ends up dissatisfied with their partnership pretty quickly, and she ultimately fights beside her sister - an anomaly unto itself. Granted, Darkseid ends up working with a whole lot of people he's never been on good terms (or any terms) with in this series. If she hadn't enslaved her sister and sided with the Citadel, Starfire never would have ended up with the power that defines her as a do-gooder. Still, the egg was on Blackfire's face in this situation.
and immediately discovered Blackfire had also developed this power when she used it to attack her rescuer. She quickly discovered that she was now able to gather glowing energy in her hands and discharge it in dazzling blasts.Įver the good girl, Starfire freed her sister. Luckily, a Citadel attack interrupted the experiment, freeing Starfire from her restraints. Thus, Blackfire and Starfire were strapped into complicated machinery and overloaded with solar energy. A cold, science-minded race, the Psions saw major potential for experimentation in the captured sisters. Blackfire sneeringly condemned her to death, but before an execution could take place, the Psions attacked. But hey, power is power in Blackfire's eyes, even if it comes from a shocking act of blasphemy.Īs depicted in Tales of the New Teen Titans #4, after multiple years as a slave, Starfire finally snapped and killed her master. It's truly something to see Blackfire threaten to "unleash X'hal on an unsuspecting galaxy," as though X'hal is a rabid bear and not a deity Blackfire that desperately invokes later on, at her lowest point, in 1986's New Teen Titans #16. Thus, as she explains to the Citadelian Lord Damyn in 1982's New Teen Titans #25, she makes for powerful blackmail material. X'hal is as feared as she is worshipped, which Blackfire well knows. Blackfire is so bad that she kidnaps her own goddess. Becoming a goddess doesn't make things better for X'hal, unfortunately, especially once she ends up in Blackfire's clutches.
Eventually, these violations transformed her into a being of cosmic energy, loosed from her mortal body. As 1987's History of the DC Universe #1 details, she was once an ordinary Okaaran, whom the Psions - a reptilian race - subjected to horrific experiments. X'hal is, in fact, an ancient inhabitant of the Vegan star system, the same place where Tamaran spins.
