Character Evolution Modern Age: New Earth Starfire (New Earth) Her character was immediately popular with fans, and her look and costume has remained virtually unchanged since her initial appearance three decades ago. Wolfman conceived the character as an exotic alien princess who was both sexy in appearance and a fierce warrior, essentially a " Red Sonja in outer space." Based on this description, Perez visually designed Starfire to have golden skin, long flowing red hair, completely green eyes, a voluptuous figure, and revealing bikini-like armor. She made her debut in DC Comics Presents #26 (October 1980). Starfire was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez in 1980, when new characters were needed to fill out the revamped roster of the upcoming New Teen Titans series. This set the stage for a sibling rivalry of epic proportions as Komand'r continually sought revenge against Koriand'r, precipitating a series of events that ultimately brought the Tamaranean princess to Earth. Koriand'r received all of the privileges, honors, and dignity of royalty and grew to be the first princess of Tamaran in a hundred years, while Komand'r was largely shunned and forgotten. Komand'r's princess status was transferred to her more attractive younger sister Koriand'r, who had no abnormalities and was well-liked by her people. Komand'r developed a bitter and unpleasant personality as a result, and due to her disability and unpopularity, she was deemed unworthy of ascension to the throne. Her elder sister Komand'r (later known as Blackfire) was the victim of a rare childhood disease that rendered her unable to fly.
