![]() She was about to attack again however, the Centauri Police catch her from behind and she's taken to prison, swearing revenge on her sister.īlackfire later broke out from prison and wrested control of Tamaran as its new Grand Ruler. Blackfire, who was leaving Earth at that exact moment, was defeated by Starfire after her right hand was hit by Starfire's star bolts. The Titans then discovered that Blackfire had framed Starfire for crimes by giving her a stolen jewel from the Centauri System. When Starfire thought of leaving Earth, the Centauri Police showed up and captured her. She was especially unhappy with her sister's attempts at flirting with Robin. The Titans seemed to like her so much, Starfire was beginning to think they wouldn't need her around anymore. ![]() ![]() Blackfire won the Teen Titans's support by having fun with them and telling them stories of adventures she had throughout her travels in the galaxy. She gave Starfire a centauri jewel and pretended to enjoy being reunited with her. Blackfire is also quite vain and loves telling stories about herself.īlackfire first appeared when she arrived on Earth in the episode Sisters. She has a very sarcastic humor and always hurts Starfire's feelings. The two of them are poster children for sibling rivalry. Blackfire loves fighting her sister and rubbing the fact that she is older and stronger in her 'little' sister's face. The two almost never get along well, except when Blackfire tricks Starfire into thinking she's being nice. She possesses the optimum qualities of a villain, and she is cunning, deceitful, immoral, sadistic and unremorseful. Fingers crossed that this leads to a butt-kicking Blackfire-Female Furies team-up.Even though Blackfire is Starfire's older sister, the two are polar opposites. 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.
