Darkstar

A late-era addition to DC's cosmic corner, this Darkstar emerged in 1995 from the pages of The Darkstars, a series that carved out its own gritty niche in the publisher's sprawling space-opera universe. Created by Michael Jan Friedman and Mike Collins, the character debuted at a fascinating crossroads of DC's cosmic mythology, sharing adventures alongside heavy hitters like John Stewart, Donna Troy, and Green Lantern. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in the mid-nineties, this is a character for the dedicated completist — a brief but genuine piece of DC's Copper/Modern Age frontier worth tracking down.
