In the last season of Titans, Kory Anders/ Starfire’s evil older sister named Blackfire made her presence known. Judging by the way things left off, the Tamaran supervillain is definitely going to bring war to the Titans in the upcoming season.
HBO Max recently released revealed Blackfire’s war-ready costume worn by actress Damaris Lewis, sporting several gemstones such as the Mexican Fire Opal, Amethyst, Purple Star Sapphire and Black Fire Opal embedded on the metallic suit.
Also known as Komand’r in the comics, Blackfire was born on the same day as the attack by the Citadel Empire so she was associated with the destruction and suffering of her people.
Due to immense hate from her subjects, her birthright and privileges were bestowed on Starfire instead. This birthed a deep rage inside Blackfire which drew her to murder her sister.
Executive producer Greg Walker said viewers will learn more about the home planet of Tamaran and the sisters’ time there.
“We’re planning a big season for Kory this year. The arrival of her sister/nemesis Blackfire launches Kory down a path where she uncovers both secrets about her past and clues to her destiny... all of which will lead to her true calling as Starfire. Plus, we have a few other surprises in store for hardcore Starfire fans this season,” Walker said.
Titans stars Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Kory Anders, Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth, Ryan Potter as Garfield Logan, Curran Walters as Jason Todd and Conor Leslie as Donna Troy, with Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger, Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall, Joshua Orpin as Superboy, Chelsea Zhang as Rose Wilson, Chella Man as Jericho, Drew Van Acker as Aqualad, Esai Morales as Deathstroke, Damaris Lewis as Blackfire, Savannah Welch as Barbara Gordon, Jay Lycurgo as Tim Drake and Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.
Season 3 has yet to receive a premiere date.
