Subject: Stephanie Brown

Hero Identity: The Spoiler/ Robin IV

First Appearance: Detective comics #647

Origin File: *shamelessly taken from wikipedia*

Stephanie Brown was born the daughter of the Cluemaster, one of Gotham City's third-rate villains. He spent most of her childhood in jail or away from the family. And when he returned to Gotham, "rehabilitated," Stephanie became furious that he was returning to crime without his need to leave clues behind. She decided something needed to be done.

The Spoiler

Stephanie tailored a costume for herself, and called herself the Spoiler. She knew where her father was hiding out, found out his plans, and left clues so that the police and Batman could stop him. Robin tracked her down, and she joined in on the capturing of Cluemaster.
[edit]

Tim Drake

Each time Cluemaster would escape or start some new plan, Stephanie would don her costume again. Eventually, she decided she liked being a hero, and began regular patrols as Spoiler. This also brought her into regular contact with Robin, on whom she had a bit of a crush. The two worked as sometimes partners for a time, but eventually, romance blossomed.

Unfortunately for Stephanie, she found out she was pregnant by a boyfriend who had run from Gotham after an earthquake. Robin, in his false alter ego as Alvin Draper, took Stephanie to Lamaze classes, and the two became even closer. He returned to her when she was giving birth, even though he had moved away, and the two shared a few sweet moments together. With Robin's help, she was able to deal with giving her child up for adoption. Robin was then sent away to boarding school by his father, and the two were forced into a long distance relationship, made even more complicated by the fact she still didn't know his real name.

During his time away, Robin became friends with a girl named Star. One night, after seeing her go into an alley with some suspicious-looking people, Robin decided to follow her in costume. He ran into Stephanie, also on patrol, and she followed him as he tracked down Star to a gang meeting that erupted in a violent shootout. He managed to save Star, but Stephanie became convinced that he was cheating on her, and refused to see him.

Shortly after this, Robin disappeared from Gotham for several days (he was off in Tibet on a secret mission), and in his absence Spoiler realized that she still wanted to be with him. Batman approached Spoiler and offered to train her. He also told her Robin's real name, and this betrayal by Batman drove a wedge in between the two for a time. Spoiler not only trained with Batman but with the Birds of Prey, and began a friendship with Batgirl.

Stephanie and Tim, as she now knew him, reconciled, and the bond they shared was stronger than ever. Even after Batman - having decided that she wasn't really hero material - told her to hang up her costume and the Birds stopped mentoring her, she still patrolled with Robin, as well as went on regular dates. When the US government came to Stephanie and her mother, and told her that Cluemaster had died in the service of his country, Stephanie was shocked. She cut off ties with Tim, and went on a crimefighting rampage, hunting down the Riddler, her father's former associate, to try to get a better idea of who he had been in life. Eventually, she made peace with his memory, and she and Tim rekindled their relationship.

In Robin #111, Steph revealed that when she was a child, her babysitter had attempted to rape her. This man died of an apparent drug overdose eight days after she told her father what had happened. Whether or not he had killed him was one of the questions she had to resign herself to never being able to answer.

During Tim's battle with the occult hitman Johnny Warlock, Stephanie was injured, her leg broken, and Tim took personal responsibility.

Robin IV

Stephanie snapped Tim out of his funk, just in time for his father to find out he was Robin. Tim was told to hang up his cape, and he did. Shortly after, Stephanie snuck into the Batcave in a handmade Robin costume, and Batman decided to make her the new Robin. He trained her hard, and she went out with him for a time. Unfortunately, due to her disobeying his orders, Batman stripped her of the costume and told her that she was done being a hero.

Subject: Koriand'r

Alias: Starfire III, Kory Anders

Previous Affliations: Teen Titans, The Outsiders

First Apperance: DC Comics Presents #26, 1980

From Titanstower.com:
Koriand'r is the second of three children born to Tamaran's ruling family. Komand'r, her older sister, was born deformed by Tamaranean standards. Unable to fly, she was deemed incapable to eventually rule the world as its Queen. The royal line was instead handed down to her younger sister, Koriand'r.

Komand'r resented Koriand'r's eventual ascension and hated her sister. A deep rivalry grew between the two with Komand'r plotting to harm her sister in any way possible.

In time, the sisters were sent for training to the Warlords of Okaara. There they would learn not only the art of combat, but the rules for governing. Tamaran was a planet of conflicting emotions. They embraced peace and love, but were quick to anger and fierce in war.

The conflict between sisters grew, and Komand'r finally left Tamaran and joined with her planet's greatest enemies, the Citadel. The Citadel already ruled the other 21 Vegan worlds, and only Tamaran was permitted its freedom. Until now.

The Citadel invaded peaceful Tamaran and quickly crippled its defenses. They demanded that King Myand'r turn over his daughter, Koriand'r, to the Citadel in exchange for peace. Myand'r accepted. His daughter would be sacrificed, but the paradise that was Tamaran would endure

Komand'r banished her sister into humiliating slavery for six harsh years. But during it all Koriand'r never gave up hope.

Eventually, Koriand'r and Komand'r were captured by the Psions, a race of soulless alien scientists who experimented on living beings. In an effort to see how much solar energy the body would endure before being destroyed, the Psions subjected the two sisters to endless grueling experiments. Unknown to the Psions, the Tamaranean body was capable of absorbing solar power - which gave them the ability to fly. Instead of destroying their captives, the Psions gave the sisters the ability to absorb the energy and then expel it in ferocious destructive blasts called Starbolts.


Enter: The New Teen Titans

The sisters escaped and Koriand'r eventually made it to Earth where she was found by a group of young heroes who would come to call themselves The New Teen Titans.

The newly formed group traveled to Tamaran and vanquished the Citadel and Psions, freeing Tamaran. Koriand'r returned to Earth with Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans and the man she came to love.

A Marriage of State

Later, Koriand'r was returned to Tamaran to learn that the planet was about to be plunged into a civil war. In order to keep peace between me ruling houses of Tamaran, Myand'r pledged that his daughter would marry Karras, heir to the ruling Southern continent. This would be a political marriage as both Koriand'r and Karras loved others.

Koriand'r went through with the marriage although it put a strain on her relationship with d**k Grayson, now the hero known as Nightwing. During this time, Koriand'r's sister Komand'r also seized control of Tamaran, with Koriand'r's parents acting as her advisors.

Koriand'r returned to Earth, and began to mend her relationship with d**k Grayson. Later on another trip to Tamaran, Karras was killed while trying to stop a group of terrorists.

The Titans Hunt

Shortly after this, current and former members of the Titans were hunted and captured by the Wildebeest Society. Deathstroke, Nightwing, Troia, Pantha, Phantasm, Arella and Red Star joined forces to track them down. Upon locating the captured Titans, the heroes were shocked to learn the identity of the leader of the Wildebeests was their own teammate, Jericho, who was now corrupted by the tainted souls of Azarath.

During the final showdown with the Wildebeest Society, Jericho and Raven were seemingly slain; Raven's mother Arella and Danny Chase died and merged with the purged souls of Azarath to become Phantasm.

Soon after, an evil version of Raven emerged; Her evil consciousness survived, and she found a mortal vessel to house her form. Raven was intent on planting the seeds of Trigon's unborn children into new vessels.

A Wedding Disaster

Afterwards, the Titans entered into tumultuous times; Members came and went, longtime friends were maimed or destroyed, as d**k tried to hold the team together. But his relationship with Starfire became strained, and problems in Gotham demanded d**k's attention. Impulsively, d**k proposed marriage to Starfire. The two almost wed, but the ceremony was interrupted by the dark incarnation of their former teammate, Raven. Her brutal attack on Starfire triggered changes in d**k and Kory's relationship. Starfire was implanted with a Raven "seed" which caused her to leave Earth and go on a spiritual journey and later, back to Tamaran. Unknown to Starfire, she was actually implanted with the ‘seed' of the good Raven, who influenced Starfire to leave earth – away from the clutches of evil Raven.

A New Life

When Starfire returned to Tamaran, she met and fell in love with a man named Ph'yzzon, a brave general. After a quick courtship, the Koriand'r and Ph'yzzon got married.

Meanwhile, Cyborg had merged his consciousness with the alien race known as Technis in an effort to save the dying race. Vic - now known as Cyberion - was reunited with his former teammates as an evil version of Raven tried to destroy her good self (which lay dormant in the body of Starfire). To ferret out Starfire, evil Raven incited a conflict in the Vegan star system. As a result, Tamaran was destroyed along with the Technis.


The Titans were able to destroy evil Raven utterly, and restore good Raven into a new spiritual golden body. Starfire decided to rebuild her culture on a new planet; many Tamaraneans were off-world during the explosion – enough to settle on a new planet dubbed New Tamaran.

When the Sun Eater ravaged the galaxy, the planet of New Tamaran lay in its path. An alien woman tried to warn the Tamaraneans, but Queen Komand'r was too short sighted and xenophobic to listen. Starfire believed the woman and tried to warn her fellow Tamaraneans. Komand'r labeled her sister Koriand'r a traitor and banished her. Starfire left the planet and was unable to prevent its destruction. New Tamaran was destroyed by the Sun Eater – along with many of the remaining Tamaraneans and Koriand'r's new husband, Ph'yzzon.

Reunited

Starfire aided the Titans again during the Technis Imperative conflict, which involved the Justice League as well as all Titans, past and present. The two teams eventually worked together to save the earth and former Titans teammate, Cyborg. After this adventure, the group decided to reform, and Starfire became a full time member of the Titans once again.

Starfire often found herself at odds with her fellow teammates. As in the past, her warrior ways conflicted with the group's ideologies. She was also very tentative around d**k Grayson, as they never had closure to their relationship.

Starfire received an urgent summons from her brother Ryand'r. Starfire and her fellow Titans became embroiled in a struggle between the remaining Tamaraneans and their hated enemies, the Gordanians, for possession of the planet, Karna. Tempest - using his ambassador skills - offered a solution: the Tamaraneans and Gordanians could share the planet of Karna. The Gordanians would allow them to stay; in exchange, the Tamaraneans would teach them new trades outside of slavery, and bolster their reputation in the galaxy. Both races agreed to these terms.

Koriand'r elected to remain on Karna and rebuild the culture of her people as Princess. She was able to bid a tearful farewell to d**k Grayson via a communiqué relay – telling him she would always love him.

Our Worlds At War

Shortly afterward, tragedy struck. During the "Our Worlds At War" crisis, a series of Imperiex probes destroyed Karna. This marks the third Tamaranean home planet that was destroyed. At that time, Starfire returned to earth.

Teen Titans

Soon after, a conglomerate known as Optitron offered to sponsor the Titans and Young Justice after summoning them to San Francisco. Before any decisions could be made, a mysterious cybernetic girl known as Indigo emerged from the future. Unwittingly, she somehow activated a rogue Superman android, seemingly resulting in the deaths of Troia and Omen. At Troia's funeral, Nightwing disbanded the Titans.

Members of Young Justice, especially Wonder Girl, felt responsible for the tragic deaths. This led Wonder Girl, Robin, Impulse and Superboy to form a new group of Teen Titans under the guidance of the more experienced Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy.

Starfire later left the Titans and joined the Outsiders at the request of Jade.
