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.

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.
