Who is Warstar?

Warstar is actually two symbiotic alien beings — the small B'nee and the hulking C'cil — who work in perfect tandem as a single warrior unit. Trained in unarmed combat, they serve the Shi'ar Empire as members of the Imperial Guard's Borderers division.

Few Bronze Age debuts carry the weight of The X-Men #137 — one of the most legendary issues in Marvel history — and Warstar was right there when it happened in 1980, introduced by the iconic creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne. A member of the formidable Imperial Guard and a figure woven into the grand tapestry of Shi'ar cosmic power, Warstar has kept extraordinary company across the decades, sharing pages with heavyweights like Gladiator, Oracle, Smasher, and Manta. From Uncanny X-Men to Guardians of the Galaxy, this cosmic warrior has proven surprisingly durable for a character with 26 catalog appearances — a testament to the enduring pull of that Shi'ar corner of the Marvel universe. If you love Bronze Age cosmic Marvel at its most operatic, Warstar is a genuine piece of that legacy.
