She’s smiling, feeling, thinking everything about the scene is about her as a person, not her as a hot body. Though she’s naked, Starfire isn’t being objectified here. This is one of my favorite scenes of Starfire to date, and not for the obvious shallow reasons.
Titans: Old Friends Paperback – Januby Judd Winick (Author), Ian Churchill (Illustrator) In Titans #1 by Judd Winick, Starfire is found lounging by the Titans pool completely naked. Even her kids cartoon adaption shows belly. There’s no way around it: Starfire shows skin. The key component in any and all these costumes is one thing: skin. Still very girlish and showing skin, but obviously the more sexual aspects of her comic costume were downplayed given the target audience.
STARFIRE DC TV
When Cartoon Network released the popular TV show Teen Titans in 2003, Starfire was given a cartoon costume reboot. She went back to her original costume with her return to the Teen Titans title where she began teaching new recruits, such as Superboy, Robin (Tim Drake at the time), and Wonder Girl. That confidence and playfulness is a key component in Starfire’s overall character.įor a short while, Starfire changed up her look for a more armored costume and then to a singular top and long pants -similar to the look she has now -for her short stint on the Outsiders team. It wasn’t a cocky sort of pride, but rather just wholehearted confidence and self-assurance of herself. Starfire loved being feminine, girly, pretty, and sexy. Even in modeling, Starfire’s choice of clothing spoke of her girlish style and femininity. Starfire, Teen Titans, DC Comics, George Perezĭuring this time period, Starfire also doubled as a model working for and with her new found friend Donna Troy who doubled as a photographer. With a bright color palette of a purple split bathing suit, pupiless green eyes, and literally fiery red hair everything about Starfire spoke of passion and brightness. Under the pencils of Perez, this look wasn’t especially provocative and emphasizes Starfire’s free and vibrant personality.
STARFIRE DC SERIES
Starfire’s original, and longest-running, look appeared in George Perez’s New Teen Titan series in the late 80s. I wanted to take a look at Starfire’s overall costume history and what it says about her character, including her most recent updated look. Seems DC is consistently getting told by little ladies. Needless to say, Lee’s daughter was baffled and bothered by Starfire’s comic book look. The controversy over her costume inspired a fantasy author Michele Lee to ask her seven-year-old daughter -who was a huge fan of Starfire’s cartoon counterpart -what she thought of her hero’s new look. It was met with less than enthusiasm from fans, especially women. Starfire, Nu52, DC Comics, Scott Lobdel & Kenneth Rocafort
STARFIRE DC UPDATE
Starfire also received a costume update when she was rebooted with the rest of the DC characters in the New 52 line two years ago. Other recent costume reboots have included Barbara Gordon’s new Batgirl look under Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher and Jessica Drew’s updated Spider-Woman wear thanks to Kris Anka.
STARFIRE DC FULL
Carol Danvers was one of the first to get a notable costume update, shedding her black lightning bolt bathing suit and hip scarf for a colorful and powerful full body suit, as she officially donned the name of Captain Marvel. If you haven’t heard the news about Starfire getting a much needed costume update -not to mention her own on-going series by powerhouse team Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, of Harley Quinn fame, along with Emanuela Lupacchino -then buckle up because I’m going to break it down for you.Ĭostume updates are becoming the norm for the Big Two in the past few years, what with the recent influx of reboots and relaunches.
