While the heroes are reluctant allies at first, by the end of the issue they part on friendly terms. He teamed up with the Titans at Interpol's request to catch a jewel thief in Stockholm. The Russian meta-human Leonid Kovar first appeared in 1968's Teen Titans #18 when the team had its original lineup. Kovar received his superhuman strength when an alien ship he and his father were inspecting exploded and imbued him with mysterious energy, and soon after became Soviet Russia's first hero and a KGB operative codenamed Starfire. The third Starfire is much better known than his predecessors and has played a far bigger role in mainstream DC comics. Though the Starfire series ended in 1976 and did not take place in the main continuity of Earth One, the character and her reality are believed to have survived the Crisis that destroyed her previous namesake and continued on in some form in the New Earth's universe. This rare reverse-fridging caused the heartbroken Starfire to swear vengeance on her former captor and to free every enslaved being in the galaxy. Soon after the young renegades confessed their feelings to one another, however, Dagan was captured and tortured to death by Sookaroth and his men. ![]() At the same time he helped her discover the true meaning of freedom, of individuality, and of love. Though constantly on the run from slavers, Dagan trained Starfire in martial arts and several different weapons. At age 18, Starfire fled her captor after discovering his plans to forcibly wed her after being tracked down by Sookaroth's guards she was finally rescued by Dagan, a warrior priest. Born in a distant galaxy far far away, she was given up at birth by her parents and raised as a slave by Sookaroth, leader of the Mygorg race. The next Starfire starred in a titular eight-issue series in 1976, and bore a much greater resemblance to the fiery hero of today's comics. Though this Starfire faded into obscurity before being completely removed from the post- Crisis on Multiple Earths Multiverse, she is worth remembering as a worthy, deadly foe who seriously endangered one of the most powerful heroes of all time. Happily, the pill only caused the young Maid of Might's powers to fluctuate wildly for a brief period of time, and though Starfire escaped to fight another day she was eventually captured and put behind bars. Starfire accomplished this by having a charming young con man infiltrate Supergirl's college and slip her the pill while out on a date. ![]() After amassing a fortune through con jobs and criminal connections, she created a pill that would negate superpowers and decided to try it out on an unwitting Supergirl. ![]() DC's first Starfire debuted in 1971's Adventure Comics #402 as an enemy of Supergirl. This Starfire was a crafty human crime-lord who sought nothing less than total world domination, and therefore the eradication of superheroes who would try and stop her.
