![]() Carol and Hal talked, and found that they both wanted to be pilots when they grew up. A young Hal Jordan was there too, watching his father's test flight. Storyline (2006-present) Secret Origin Carol Ferris, owner of Ferris AirĪs a little girl, Carol was brought to watch the plains take off by her father, Carl Ferris (then owner of Ferris Aircraft). Following that, she fought against the Blackest Night, helped guide The Predator to be a positive force, aided Hawkgirl and Hawkman against Queen Shrike during Brightest Day, fought against Krona in the War of the Green Lanterns, and has since joined Kyle Rayner's New Guardians team to continue her heroics. Hero (2007-present)Ĭarol accepted the charge and has sense fought to defend Zamaron from first the Sinestro Corps, then the Black Lanterns. They founded the Star Sapphire Corps, and sought out Carol to lead and guide them. ![]() They became less cynical, and acted with more open hearts when they gave up sending out Star Sapphire crystals, and instead forged rings that let the bearer retain most of, or even complete control over themselves (depending on their ability to control and focus their own emotions). Hero (2007 - present)ĭuring the War of Light storyline, the Zamarons rethought their strategy in bringing love to the universe. Her relationship with her Star Sapphire persona changed towards something more like a split-personality, one that she very much wanted to be rid of. Slavery, mind control, torture, even murder. Villain (1987 - 1995)ĭuring this time, her modus-operandi shifted and she moved towards some seriously dark territory. And, in fact, would more often help Hal than vex him. She didn't really act in any way that could be considered truly malicious. Her main motivation often had a lot to do with winning Hal Jordan's heart, and/or seeking to be the Zamaron queen. She had varying degrees of control over her actions. Throughout this period, Carol's Star Sapphire persona was more prone to strong emotion, or being controlled or compelled by the Zamarons. Unlike her civilian identity, Carol's alter ego, Star Sapphire, on the other hand, has gone through some very significant changes as time has gone on. As Star Sapphire Femme Fatale (1959-1987) In recent years though, with the advent of the Star Sapphire Corps, and the accompanying ability her new ring granted her to remain herself as Star Sapphire, the major event in her life is that she's started to act as Star Sapphire, as a hero, on a regular basis, spending much of her time out among the stars, while still returning to Earth periodically to keep up with the company she owns. As a comparison, her character has changed in portrayal a fair amount less than, say, Lois Lane's has. It is true that, as time has gone on and cultural sensibilities have changed, she's undergone significant changes in how her character was written, but no more so than would be the case with any other character who's had such a long publication history (1959-present). Initially she was portrated as a lonely multimillionairess (or it was that Hal Jordan thought). ![]() She's lived her life, had her ups and downs (both business related and in regards to her personal life), but mostly she's been portrayed fairly constantly throughout. As her normal self (or, in other words, when she wasn't being Star Sapphire), Carol's character has remained fairly constant all the way from her first appearance in 1959 up through to the present day. ![]()
