View Full Version : Star Sapphire's Origin?

Granted a powerful star sapphire gem by the Zamarons (an alien race of female warriors) for the purposes of making her their [figurehead] queen, Star Sapphire has been an adversary of the Green Lantern since the Silver Age. However, because of the liberties taken with the Green Lantern Corp and the Guardians in the Superman and Justice League shows, I can’t help but wonder how they’ll explain her origin.

First, since Hal Jordan isn’t being used, how will they connect her character (who was Hal Jordan’s boss and lover) to John Stewart? Will she become John’s lover?

Second, in the comics the Zamarons are the female counterparts to the Oans/Guardians. That has already been contradicted in the episode In Brightest Day, where a female Oan was featured prominently. Will they make the Zamarons a separate race in Justice League (if they appear at all)?

Actually, if the Zamarons are a female warrior culture, perhaps Timm and company will set her up as more of a foe for Wonder Woman, who has little to no Rogues Gallery of her own.

Any thoughts?

I think that the Zamarons should be remotely cnnected to Wonder Woman.
It would really beef up her role some more. But, maybe the GL Corps
have encountered them before and John Sewart has a knowledge of them.

I was really hopeful that the recent issue of Justice League Adventures, featuring a clan of female sorceresses, would be somehow linked to WW's Amazons. I think that the writers on JL will indeed give the Amazons a mirror-race to go up against so that makes sense. As for WW's Rogue's Gallery let's see:

-ARES
-Cheetah
-Circe
-Maxie Zeus (on occasion)
-Felix Faust (who is in the "Paradise Lost" episode)
-Dr. Pyscho (Don't know who he is, but he sounds cool!)

Technically, Maxie Zeus isn't a member of Wonder Woman's Rogues Gallery...but many people on this board want him to be.

Do you think they might make Star Sapphire a rouge Amazon?

I don't know--I would like to see some sort of interplay between Carol Ferris and John Stewart--but it might better explain how she caught the Zamarons' eye.

I wonder if we will get any origins at all for the villains. We still don't know much about WW or Hawkgirl's origin, and they're two of the main characters. I could imagine that we see Luthor gathering together a bunch of established villains, perhaps with a "Star Sapphire? What's she doing here?" to explain her presence, as with Hawkgirl. ;)

After all, if in the three episode "Secret Origins" we only got the origins of one, maybe two, members (J'onn and maybe WW), how many origins can we expect to see for the villains?

Granted, but the prospect of future seasons keep getting better and better...

Timm and Co. have already told us that we aren't going to get an origin for Sapphire. Maybe later, but for now, she's just one element in a big ole slugfest!

So many origins to explain..so little time!
