History

FIRST PRE-CRISIS APPEARANCE: DC Comics Presents #26 (October, 1980)
FIRST POST-FLASHPOINT APPEARANCE:
Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 (November, 2011)

As a child on her home planet of Tamaran, Koriand'r was a princess, directly in line to become her people's next ruling monarch. To the chagrin of her older sister, Komand'r. Komand'r, who was passed over in the line of succession due to her inability to harness solar energy and fly—a critical social signifier in Tamaranian culture.

Komand'r, however, was not so easily pushed aside. She organized a plot to betray all of Tamaran and ignite a war between her people and their enemies, a group known as the Citadel. With the Citadel in power, Koriand'r was imprisoned, and enslaved and placed under her sister's vengeful iron fist. For years, Koriand'r suffered at the hands of her captors while her homeworld was pillaged by the conquering Citadel.

It wasn't until a third alien race, the Psions, intervened and ultimately changed Kori's fate. The Psions captured both Kori and Komand'r, and subjected them to a battery of sadistic tests which had a strange side effect on Kori's biology. She developed the ability to create "starbolts"—concentrated energy fired from her hands—which she used to free herself. After hijacking a spaceship, she fled to the nearest planet: Earth. Kori promptly found the recently re-formed Teen Titans, who taught her to use her new powers and unique Tamaranian abilities to become a champion for her adopted home. She came to love Earth and its inhabitants, though their customs occasionally confused her.

A bright-eyed, curious, and compassionate person, Kori is quick to make friends and quicker still to become the center of attention wherever she goes. But her sometimes naive persona should never be taken for granted—under it lies the fierce heart of a once and future Tamaranian queen.
