Strange #186
In "De l'importance d'être mortel," Northstar grapples with the fragile line between identity and vulnerability as he seeks help for Aurora’s fractured mind, only to find himself drawn into a deadly web when a trusted friend’s life is taken in cold blood. With the restaurant under threat and Aurora in peril, Northstar must confront the ruthless crime lord Deadly Ernest—while hiding his own powers from the very girl who needs him most. John Byrne’s sharp storytelling and expressive art bring emotional weight to this tense, character-driven story, while Jean Frisano’s cover captures the moment of betrayal with chilling precision.

Northstar takes Aurora to a psychologist to see what can be done about her having two separate personas. He then takes her to see a good friend of his, Raymonde Belmonde, a restaurant owner. (It is hinted at that Belmonde is more than a friend to Northstar.) There they find out that the restaurant is being blackmailed by local crime lord Deadly Ernest. When Ernest's thugs barge in, Ernest kills Belmonde with a touch and kidnaps Aurora. Northstar does not dare reveal his powers before Belmonde's daughter Danielle, but swears revenge.
