The show Titans did a great job introducing comic book characters to a larger audience. It features many iconic comic book heroes, such as Nightwing, Raven, or Starfire. Despite her importance in the comics and as one of the co-leaders of Teen Titans, there are still plenty of things people might not know about Starfire.

From the true extent of her powers to her home planet or her somewhat complicated love life, Starfire, also known as Kory Anders, is an even more complicated character than Titans would have their fans believe.

10 She's Very Strong

Starfire has demonstrated the extent of her powers before on Titans. However, she's even stronger in the comics. She was able to fight General Zod or defeated Terra who was a Black Lantern at the time of their fight.

Starfire can even hold her ground in a fight when she takes on a larger number of opponents than just one. At one point, she fought both Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) and Mon-El and they had trouble containing Starfire with all of her strength.

9 She Has A Lot Of Other Powers

Despite what the show has claimed, Starfire has a lot of other powers at her disposal in the comics. So much so she's one of the most powerful members of the team.

She can send out an astral projection, is capable of flying, can learn multiple languages via touch, and has a super sight. The list doesn't end there, though, and if the show depicted all of Starfire's powers, she could easily defeat everyone else.

8 She Comes From Tamaran

The show has briefly addressed the question of Starfire's home, but not in great detail. Starfire comes from the planet Tamaran that's 26 light-years away from Earth. Unlike other fictional races (such as the Vulcans from Star Trek), Starfire's people are primarily driven by emotions, not logic.

And just like Starfire, other people from her planet also have multiple special powers. However, the ability to fire star bolts is Starfire's specialty because it's not a biological trait, rather a result of a scientific experiment.

7 She Wore Different Outfits

Starfire's most iconic outfit in the comics combines the colors purple and silver. However, she also sported other outfits in the comics.

In the New Teen Titans, Starfire wears primarily a silver outfit and a very revealing one at the top of that. Her clothes on the show kept the purple color but other than that, don't look very much like her comic book style.

6 She Looks Different

While it has no impact on the show's plot, Starfire - and her people - look different in the comics than on the show. Starfire has long red hair, not the unnatural pink shade seen on the show. She has orange/bronze skin and piercing green eyes that are her most defining feature, right alongside her bright hair.

On the show, Starfire has dark skin, darker hair, and a different hairstyle. She's also not as tall as in the comics where Starfire is 6ft 4inch while actress Anna Diop is just 5'7''.

5 She And Nightwing Are A Couple

The show has hinted at the fact that there's something going on between Dick and Starfire. They had a brief fling in the first season. However, Dick seemed to have wanted to distract Starfire from her line of questioning by kissing her. They didn't address it again afterward.

The couple has a much more stable relationship in the comics and they have been together for quite some time. It remains to be seen if the show will ever bring them as close.

4 Raven Ruined Her Wedding

Speaking of Starfire and Dick in the comics, their relationship progressed so well they decided to get married. Unfortunately for the couple, it didn't happen - and Raven was responsible.

Just as Dick and Kory were about to become a husband and a wife, Raven crashed their wedding and attacked the Teen Titans who attended it. It's true that Raven wasn't herself at the time, as her evil alter-ego won over, but it still stopped the wedding from proceeding.

3 She Didn't Do So Well During Flashpoint

Barry Allen's journey back in time in the Flashpoint had a negative impact on multiple heroes. Starfire was one of them. She ended up joining sides the Amazons' Furies, a group of warriors.

Considering her platitude of powers, Starfire fit in well between them. But she eventually met her tragic end when Dick, of all people, blew up a building Starfire was in at the time.

2 She Shared Her Powers With The Titans

Starfire's powers are so remarkable that other people shared it at a time. In the storyline Teen Titans: Earth One, Starfire was captured after coming to Earth.

STAR Labs then used her DNA to give special powers to several people, including Jericho, Terra, or Cyborg, to name just a few. Considering Starfire is easily one of the most powerful Titans, this doesn't come as a surprise.

1 Her First Appearance

Just like many Titans members, Starfire has been around for a while - despite the fact that it took her decades to appear in a live-action adaptation. Starfire's first comic book appearance dates back to 1980.

It happened in DC Comics Presents #26 and her creators are Marv Wolfman and George Perez. With Starfire, their goal was to create an alien heroine who would be both a highly capable fighter and a beautiful princess.
