Laynia eventually changed her views and allied with the side of good, joining the Champions until their disbandment. Laynia and her brother Nikolai were originally part of a superhuman team designed to take down Black Widow and return her to the U.S.S.R. Laynia Petrovna, is a mutant of the Marvel Universe who hails from Belarus, a country that was once part of the Soviet Union. Regardless of the naming semantics, Darkstar, A.K.A. That name is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? Since, you know, stars give off light. Though he may have a confusing timeline, it's hard to deny the matter-controlling star-power of this legionnaire. This Starboy is schizophrenic and after leaving the medical technology of the 31st century behind to live in the timeline of Waid's "Kingdom Come," so he voluntarily commit himself to a sanitarium. Later, in 2005, Mark Waid rebooted the Legion and cast Thom Kallor as black, and the hero eventually goes by Starman. At some point when he was still a legionnaire, Starboy went back in time to meet the 20th century's Superboy, where Clark Kent's teenage sweetheart Lana Lang forces him to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to make Clark jealous. Kallor is eventually expelled from the Legion of Super-Heroes after breaking their no-killing rule, having killed his girlfriend's ex in self-defense. He was a metahuman with the ability to increase the mass, density, or gravity of an object. Thom was born to astronomer parents on a satellite orbiting planet Xanthu. Starboy (and eventually Starman), had some strange and very Silver-age-y first appearances in comics. If you got lost in all that, we don't blame you.Īs it tends to be with the strange cast of characters that make up the Legion of Super-Heroes, Thom Kallor, A.K.A. To make matters even harder to understand, there is also a Starhawk of the Earth-616 universe, a hero of the 30th century of the main Marvel universe's timeline. Stakar and Aleta were separated thanks to the help of a hawk god, and were able to have kids during this time before remerging. The merging gave Stakar all of Aleta's powers, strength, speed, immortality, flight, light manipulation, darkness manipulation, precognition and enhances senses. If that wasn't confusing enough, an accident merged him with Aleta Ogord, the original Starhawk and Stakar's wife.
At some point, Stakar had his mind sent back in time to possess his infant self, a process that repeated many times. He was taken in by Ogord, who named him Stakar and raised him as his own. He was born as the son of two Earth-691 superheroes (Kismet and Quasar), but was kidnapped after birth and left on Arcturus. Originally from a different Earth of the Marvel multiverse, Starhawk's origin is a little convoluted and hard to follow. Unfortunately, the power within him was unstable, so Red Star forced himself into exile where his excess radiation couldn't hurt anyone. In this version, Red Star was a small and weak soldier who was enhanced to have super strength, stamina, and the ability to generate radiation. In his "Teen Titans" appearance, he was voiced by Jason Marsden and had an origin similar to Captain America. Red Star's radiation powers even allow him to take on Superman due to its similarity to red sun radiation.
Being a communist patriot, Leonid joined the military, becoming the first Russian superhero within the DC universe. Red Star's real name is Leonid Kovar, and he got his powers as a teenager when he and his father, an archeologist, investigated an alien ship that exploded and gave Leonid extraordinary powers including strength, speed, flight, radiation generation and pyrokinesis. In the comics, Red Star actually predated Starfire and was the first to go by the name, a codename given to him by the Russian Military. Perhaps best known by younger fans for his appearance in the "Teen Titans" cartoon, Red Star is a Russian superhero and former member of the Teen Titans.
