![]() ![]() 3) #31-32 (Infinite Crisis tie-in issues) with her powers already having been restored by the Psions and enhanced to the point of gaining flight. The Hawks defeated Komand'r, after which Hawkman used Psion technology to strip the villainess of her abilities.īlackfire has later resurfaced in The Outsiders (vol. She was not seen during the Crisis series itself, but was featured in Hawkgirl and Hawkman comics as well as in JSA: Classified, attempting to kill Hawkman and Hawkgirl in order to further her own plans in the goings on & aftermath of the war. She formed an uneasy alliance with the surviving players of the war in order to deal with more pressing concerns (Infinite Crisis). Komand'r appeared in the Rann-Thanagar War limited series, during which she killed Hawkwoman in her pursuit of a New Tamaran. Kori escaped and stole a spaceship to planet Earth, where she met a young group of heroes-Robin, Beast Boy, Bumblebee, Speedy and Kid Flash- and helped form the new Teen Titans. However, far from grateful, Komand'r had struck her younger sister down with the same (but much stronger) lilac-colored ultraviolet energy and had her restrained for later execution. Against her better judgment she decided to free Komand'r, who was still absorbing more and more ultraviolet energy. During the procedure, Komand'r's forces attacked the Psion ship to rescue her and while the Psions were distracted, Kori broke free with her newly developed starbolts, highly destructive blasts of bright green-colored ultraviolet energy, which were a result of the experimentation. Psions, largely a species of sadistic scientists, performed a deadly experiment on both of the sisters to see just how much ultraviolet energy their Tamaranian bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. When Kori killed one of her rapists, Komand'r decided to execute her as punishment, but not before the sisters were attacked and captured by the Psions. Komand'r was her sister's master and made the most of her younger sister's bondage with years of horrific servitude and torture. Koriand'r was never permitted to return, since that would mean the Citadel would devastate the planet for abrogating the treaty. They conquered Tamaran with ease, and the surrender conditions included the enslavement of Koriand'r. Komand'r later betrayed her home world with detailed information about Tamaran's planetary defenses to the Citadel. Humiliated by her own transgression, Komand'r swore vengeance and joined the Citadel, quickly rising through their ranks to become a warrior-maiden fighting against the forces of her own world and, ultimately, her own family. As a result, she was expelled by the Warlords. Komand'r's true feelings were exposed when during a sparring exercise she attempted to kill her younger sister. Komand'r's hatred continued and intensified when she and her sister were sent, per Tamaran's warlike custom, for warrior training with the Warlords of Okaara. Inwardly, Komand'r's rage grew and her resentment turned to hatred for her own world, her people, her family, and lastly her younger sister who, in Komand'r's eyes, made the fateful mistake of being born. Her privileges, honors, and her royal style and dignity were transferred to her younger sister, Princess Koriand'r (who would later become known as Starfire). As a result, though first in the line of succession, she was denied her birthright to be the next Crown Princess of Tamaran to maintain the respect and prestige of the royal family. ![]() Because of Komand'r's naturally grim disposition, a stark contrast to the royal family's generally contented outlook, the subjects of Tamaran hated her. To make matters worse, Komand'r was crippled by a childhood illness that left her unable to harness ultraviolet light into energy to fly like most Tamaraneans. Though she was in no way at fault for what had happened, Komand'r was, for all time, inextricably linked with that terrible day. On the day she was born, the Citadel Empire attacked and destroyed the western Tamaranean city of Kysarr and killed three thousand citizens in her name. The first princess born in over a century, she should have been courted and showered with honors. Komand'r is the firstborn child and eldest daughter of Tamaran's royal family.
