A member of the Skorzeny clan of vampires in Markovia, Nina's family were killed by a group of vampire killers called the Graveyard Shift. The group was responsible for many vampire concentration camps as they attempted to exterminate all the vampires in Markovia. Nina was able to survive their efforts and escaped to America. This left her with a deep distrust of humans, whom she called "breathers" or "normals."

After making it to America, she was captured by R-Complex, a government agency that subjected her to numerous experiments. She was eventually rescued by the efforts of Arnold Burnsteel and Fate. The pair also freed Fang, Slither, and Gross-Out. Burnsteel suggested the group form a band to serve as cover while they try to outrun R-Complex agents.

The Scream Queen met Catwoman on one occasion. The pair battled Graveyard Shift members and an elderly vampire in Gotham City. Nina was forced to kill the vampire to save Catwoman's life. She felt some guilt over killing a member of her kind to save a human, but the pair had bonded, and Catwoman became one of the few humans that the Scream Queen saw as a friend.

Eventually, the Scream Queen began to change her view of her Scare Tactics teammates, finally seeing them as friends. Following Slither's death, Nina arranged for the group to take his ashes and throw them in his father's face. She also bit and sucked all the alcohol from Burnsteel's system when he got drunk to deal with his grief. Following Gross-Out's transformation and departure from Earth, the group was left with only three members. They vowed to carry on, however, and set out to search for new members.

Star Sapphire

edit

Star Sapphireis the name of several fictional characters inDC Comics;many of them are villainous, and all connected in origin. Within DC continuity, an immortal race of warrior women (theZamarons) were depicted as having the ancient tradition of choosing physically identical mortals from across the cosmos to serve as the host body for their queen. The woman chosen to serve this queen is calledStar Sapphire.She is given the queen's symbolic weapon: a crystal resembling an actualstar sapphirethat grants the user powers similar to thepower ringofGreen Lanterns.[73]

TheStar Sapphiresare one of the sevenCorpsempowered by a specific color of the emotional spectrum within theDC Universe.Though their roots can be traced back to the earliest appearances of the Star Sapphire queens, they have entered into a significant plot role as part of the 2009–2010Blackest Nightcrossoverevent.[74]First formed by theZamaronsat the conclusion of theMystery of the Star Sapphirestoryline running inGreen Lantern(vol. 4) issues #18–20 (May–July 2007), their abilities come from violet power rings which wield the power oflove.Initially the members of the Star Sapphires were only depicted as being females, during theBlackest Nightpanel at the 2009San Diego Comic-Con,Geoff Johnsexplained that: "anyone can join, but most men are not worthy."[75]More recently male recruits were shown among the Star Sapphires whenWonder Womanvisited their home planet.[76]

The original Star Sapphire's powers are vast. She is equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including a replicate Zamaron star sapphire, of unknown origin. She also has a variety of personal powers, though whether they stem from herself or her personal armament is unclear. She is also able to access the memories of the Zamorans regarding the Star Sapphire gem, such as the experiences of other wearers. As with the powers of the woman bearing the title of Star Sapphire, the limitations of the Star Sapphire gem are also unclear. Psychologically, the women serving as Star Sapphire have displayed a bizarre preoccupation with gender, suspected of reflecting a pathological fear of men. They also have had a less than accurate grasp of the variations in physics between dimensions. They are sometimes foiled primarily due to their own overconfidence. The Star Sapphire gems used to power the original incarnations of Star Sapphire were used by the Zamarons to create the main violet Power Battery.[77]invulnerability, light speed, superhuman strength and telekinesis.

A laterretconconnects her with the Zamaron Star Sapphires, explaining that she had been chosen as Queen of theZamarons,but had proved unworthy, hence her banishment to the 7th dimension.[79]In this story, she attempts to manipulate Carol Ferris into using the Star Sapphire stone to destroy the Zamarons. The Flash is able to break the connection. This was the Golden Age character's sole modern appearance.

Carol Ferris

edit
Main article:Carol Ferris

Dela Pharon

edit

Dela Pharonwas introduced as the third woman to hold the position of Star Sapphire inGreen Lantern(vol. 2) #41 (December 1965). Technically speaking, however, Carol Ferris simultaneously appears as Star Sapphire in the same issue.

In the story, Ferris is injured testing out one of her new flying machines, and is brought to the hospital for treatment. However, she awakens and finds herself drawn away from the hospital. It is shown that Ferris is being lured off by the Star Sapphire gem, and upon finding it she once again takes on the mantle of Star Sapphire. As Star Sapphire she returns to pursuing her quest to marry Green Lantern; however, conflict arises with the arrival of an alien woman who also appears to be the Zamaron's queen and Star Sapphire. Jordan discovers Ferris' transformation upon finding her fighting the second, alien, Star Sapphire. The Zamarons arrive to meet Jordan and explain that Dela Pharon (from the planet Xanador) is the woman that Ferris is fighting.[80]

Before the events of the issue, the Zamarons chose Pharon as their new queen and recipient of the Star Sapphire, but a dissenting group of Zamarons claimed that Ferris would have made a superior queen. Angered by the opposition, Pharon travels to Earth and attacks Ferris in retaliation (which was the cause of her aircraft malfunction). Recognizing the attack provokes Ferris to become Star Sapphire again and defend herself. At the conclusion of their duel, Ferris appears to be the victor and leaves to challenge Jordan. Following his defeat, she forces him to travel with her to Zamaron and become her husband. Before the wedding, Jordan discovers that the woman he believed to be Ferris is really Pharon in disguise. Jordan finds the real Ferris living Pharon's life on Xanador, and brings her to Zamaron. He defeats Pharon and returns with Ferris to Earth without her retaining any knowledge of the events that transpired.[80]

Dela Pharon reappears in a story told by Carol Ferris during theMystery of the Star Sapphirestory line. She continues to serve as Star Sapphire after her first appearance, and eventually both falls in love with and enslaves the Green Lantern of Xanador. After becoming his mate, she kills him and encases their planet in violet crystal so that they will be together until the end of time.[81]This presumably leaves her encased in crystal during the events currently enfolding inGreen LanternandGreen Lantern Corps.However, promotional imagery included inBlackest Night#0 (March 2009) lists her as a prominent member of the newly formed Star Sapphires. What role she will play among the corps is unknown.

Deborah Camille Darnell

edit

Remoni-Notra,of the planet Pandina, is chosen by the Zamarons to be their queen, an honor previously bequeathed upon Earth'sCarol Ferris,but refuses. Remoni-Notra is given one of the five star sapphire gems and is told of the existence of the other four. Using her powers, she comes to Earth to locate and steal Carol Ferris' gem and joins theSecret Society of Super Villainsas the newStar Sapphirein hopes of finding a clue to the gem. On Earth, she takes the nameDeborah Camille Darnelland becomes a stewardess at Ferris Aircraft, in hopes of getting closer to Carol and the Star Sapphire gem.

Nol-Anj

edit

A new villainous Star Sapphire debuts inGreen Lantern(vol. 5) #21 (August 2013). Prixiam Nol-Anj is a former prisoner of the Oan sciencells, imprisoned for a slew of different crimes: racketeering, smuggling, extortion, murder for hire, abduction, trafficking in organisms, larceny, grand theft starship, and assault with an energy weapon. Over time, she uses her wiles to beguile her guard, a Green Lantern named Cossite, and he falls in love with her. When Larfleeze attacks Oa in the aftermath of the First Lantern's defeat and the death of the Guardians, his constructs kill a Star Sapphire who arrived to aid in the defense of the planet. The fallen Sapphire's ring flies to Nol-Anj's cell, where it declares her eligible to become a Star Sapphire herself. Nol-Anj persuades Cossite that the ring's presence is proof that her love for him is true, and he readily opens the door and allows her to slip the ring onto her fingers and acquire its power. To his understandable shock, she then kills him, declaring that the love in her heart that the ring detected was not for him, but for the Clann she belonged to, that accepted her when no one else would.

After Larfleeze's attack is thwarted, Hal and the rest of the Lanterns discover Cossite's body and learn of Nol-Anj's escape, who had by then commandeered a spacecraft and left for space sector 0563. This is the home base for her clann, the Braidmen, a group of scavengers and contraband pirates, of which she is the "Prixiam". As Prixiam, she serves similarly as would a queen. The love for her clann is so potent, Nol-Anj has been shown to have the ability to extend her violet powers to shatter green constructs and summon/control multiple members of the Braidmen across great distances.

Jared's background & origin

edit

In the originalFateseries, Jared's background and origin details him to be the son of an accountant and a criminal mother who lived in Boston.[94]Eventually, his mother left for Europe for reasons unknown during his adolescent years, leaving Jared in the care of his strict and overbearing father until he was sixteen, opting to instead live with his mother in Europe. While they travelled around the world, he eventually distanced himself from her, no longer wanting to support her criminal endeavors and instead went to law school for a time.[95]However, wanting a more exciting life, Jared joins the Institute for Phenomenological Study as an adventurer. In Mexico, he gets caught in a race for a mystical artifact at the Temple of the Mist, siding with natives and revolutionaries. In the temple, he frees a mysterious female entity who saves his life, leading to his first notable supernatural experience, which he initially considers a mass hallucination.[94]

Over time, the character transitions into a smuggler of artifacts and acquires the Helmet of Fate, the Cloak of Destiny, and the Amulet of Anubis. While the Nelsons, who were after the artifacts, are killed by demons sent by their enemy Kingdom, it is revealed that Jared has been chosen as an agent for the Lords of Order. During the battle, the Amulet of Anubis explodes, granting him the ability to see the fate of others through an ankh tattoo and leaving a scar on his arm. When Nabu attempts to enslave him, Jared resists due to the power of the Amulet and rejects Nabu. This leads him to becomeFate,a demon hunter and agent of balance for the Lords of Order and Chaos.

Jared is later murdered byMordru,who attempts to kill all the agents of the Lords of Chaos and Order and claim Fate's artifacts for himself.
