Dawnstar is a fictional superheroine in comic books published by DC Comics. She was created by Paul Levitz and Mike Grell. == Fictional character biography == Dawnstar is her real name (she has no Legion code name), and she is from Starhaven, a planet colonized by Native Americans abducted from Earth by an unknown alien race in the 13th Century. Her name is derived from the appearance on Earth of the planet Venus, the "morning star," which is why she wears an eight-pointed star ornament on her forehead. Dawnstar and her people are of Anasazi Indian heritage. Starhavenites have pairs of large white-feathered wings that grow out of their upper backs, the result of genetic engineering by the unknown alien race that resettled them and triggered their metagenes.〔As shown in a recent retcon in ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'' (vol. 2) #3 (June 2009); no earlier reference had been made to any specific tribe〕 Dawnstar's parents are Mistrider and Moonwalker, and her younger brothers are Greybird and Greatfire.〔''Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes'' #1 (April 1988)〕 During her late childhood and early teens, her parents built a thriving business on their daughter's ability to guide spaceships through hazardous areas of space.〔''Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes'' #240 (June 1978)〕 She also worked as a guide to hunters of animals.〔''Superboy (the Legion of Super-Heroes )'' #226 (April 1977)〕 Dawnstar received an invitation from Legion financier R.J. Brande to attend the Legion Academy,〔 and reluctantly accepted the opportunity. She was first introduced to the Legionnaires at age 16 as a recent graduate of the Academy. Her tracking and navigation talents earned her full membership on her first mission. Her Legion stipend went to pay for enhancing her home world's defenses. She served in many missions with the Legionnaires, contributing her often underrated talents at tracking and high-speed travel to perform many rescues of her colleagues, as well as investigations of personal disappearances and similar mysteries. She also brought these talents into many Legion adventures in other times, especially the 20th Century. Notable here is her early role in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Dawnstar had a lengthy, tragic romance with fellow Legionnaire Wildfire. They each respected the other's defiant, outspoken personality, although they each counseled each other on working with their talents as part of a team instead of acting as individuals. Wildfire had been turned into an anti-energy being in a containment suit, and thus had no physical body. When he briefly was able to partially reverse this, they attempted a physical relationship, but were unsuccessful.〔''Legion of Super-Heroes'' (vol. 3) #58 (March 1989)〕 After the Legion's timeline was "reset" by the Legion's battle with Mordru,〔''Legion of Super-Heroes'' (vol. 4) #5〕 Dawnstar was shown as having been possessed by an evil entity called Bounty, who amputated her wings and forced her to use her tracking powers as an assassin. Dawnstar was later freed from the Bounty entity's control.〔''Legion of Super-Heroes'' (vol. 4) #36〕 She was spiritually healed, but her destiny was never resolved, as she vanished〔''Legionnaires'' #17 (August 1994)〕 shortly before the Legion's timeline was erased by the events depicted in ''Zero Hour'' and by the ensuing reboot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dawnstar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
