Sorry for the Delay...


Time for the DC Comics Spotlight!

This week, it is time for...drumroll please...Komand'r!

Also known as Blackfire and featured on the Teen Titans animated tv show (which I used to love).

She's Starfire's older sister and the first in line for the throne. The day she was born, the evil Citadel attacked and killed a whole bunch of people in her name, and, even though it wasn't her fault, people still kinda blamed her for it.

To make it even worse, she couldn't fly like every other Tamaranian. This made her ineligible for the throne, and pretty much the entire population hated her. So, everything went to her younger sister, Koriand'r, whom she began to hate with a firey, burning passion.

She gave secret defense plans to the Citadel, who captured Tamaran easily. Part of the surrender agreement involved giving Koriand'r to the Citadel, which her parents did. Koriand'r was tortured by her sister and when Komand'r was about to kill her, they were captured by the science-loving Psions. They captured the two girls and performed horrific experiments on them, trying to see how much solar energy their bodies could absorb before they were killed. They were about to die, but Koriand'r escaped and let her sister free. Her sister knocked her down and had her taken away for execution, but Koriand'r escaped.

She has come back several times, attempting to murder her sister. She has been thwarted every time, thanks to Starfire and other heroes of the planet Earth.

Komand'r was seen during the Thanagarian/Rann War.
