Fictional Character Biography
Koriand'r, Starfire's given name, is a princess of the fictional planet Tamaran in the Vegan system, and was in line to rule the planet as Queen. Komand'r ("commander", also known as Blackfire), her older sister, developed a bitter rivalry with her after suffering a disease in infancy that robbed her of the ability to harness solar energy to allow her to fly, and by extension, her right to the throne.
This rivalry continued and intensified when the siblings were sent for
warrior training with the Warlords of Okaara. Things came to a head
during a sparring exercise in which Komand'r attempted to kill her
sister. As a result, Komand'r was expelled and she swore vengeance.
That revenge came in a plot where Komand'r betrayed her planet by
supplying detailed information about Tamaran's defenses to their
enemies, the Citadel. They conquered Tamaran with ease, and the
surrender conditions included the enslavement of Koriand'r, who was
never permitted to return, since that would mean the Citadel would
devastate the planet for abrogating the treaty. To Kory's horror, she
learned that Komand'r was her master; Koriand'r's older sister made the
most of her sibling's years of horrific servitude. When Koriand'r killed
one of her captors, Komand'r decided to execute her as punishment, but
the sisters were attacked and captured by the Psions.
Psions, a group of sadistic alien scientists, performed a deadly
experiment on both sisters to see how much energy their Tamaranean
bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. During the
procedure, Komand'r's forces attacked the Psion ship to retrieve her.
While the Psions were distracted, Koriand'r broke free using her
starbolts - destructive blasts of solar energy - which were a result of
the 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 more intense, power,
and had her restrained for later execution.
Koriand'r escaped by stealing a spacecraft to flee to the nearest planet, Earth, where she met the first Robin (Dick Grayson) and his compatriots; she joined them in forming the Teen Titans.
She became a charter member of this team and remained a member for
years; during this time she was frequently romantically involved with
Robin.
Marriage - Koriand'r has been married twice, both times to Tamaranean men: once
to the Prince Karras to seal a peace treaty; and once to General
Phy'zzon out of duty. Karras died in battle, while Phy'zzon died trying
to defend new Tamaran against the Sun Eater.
In between these, she nearly married Dick Grayson, but their wedding was interrupted by Raven
(who was evil at the time). Raven murdered the priest before he could
pronounce Dick and Koriand'r husband and wife. The relationship was
already on unsteady ground, 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.
In the Titans of Tomorrow storyline, Batwoman said that Starfire would have a wonderful future with Nightwing (Dick Grayson). The half-blood Mar'i Grayson (Nightstar) was born from their union in the Kingdom Come timeline. However, during Infinite Crisis, an image from the Titans Tomorrow timeline shows a gravestone implied to belong to a deceased Dick Grayson.
Powers and Abilities (Starfire)
Like all Tamaraneans, Starfire's alien physiology constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation
and converts it to energy for flight. The solar absorption experiments
performed on her by the alien Psions granted her the ability to channel
and project that same energy into destructive 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 more powerful than her
standard blasts. The released energy leaves her in a weakened state.
Starfire possesses superhuman strength, which combined with her
superior fighting-skills has enabled her to win about two out of three
times against the much stronger Donna Troy (as the latter was in the early 1980s) during purely hand-to-hand training matches.
Starfire is also capable of assimilating other languages through
physical contact with another person. When she attempts to do so with
males, she usually kisses them because it is "more fun" for her. She is
proficient in armed and unarmed combat, having been trained in those
arts by the Warlords of Okaara.
In Other Media (Film/Movie)
Starfire appears in the film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies as part of Lex Luthor's force of government-employed superheroes. Although Jennifer Hale receives voice credit, Starfire does not have any lines.
