Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
We have taken a pretty detailed look into Starfire and what makes her so interesting,
but now weÕre gonna turn the spotlight to Blackfire, StarfireÕs evil older sibling.
Probably the only spotlight sheÕll ever get, constantly in the shadow of her sister.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 BLACKFIRE SURPRISING FACTS.
In the number 10 spot we got HER ILLNESS.
When she was born, Blackfire should have been next in line to the tamaranean throne and
widely celebrated.
However, she was born with a debilitating illness that impaired her ability to use UV
light to fly, and because of this she was unable to have a claim to the throne.
The honor was in StarfireÕs name instead.
Yes I would be just a little salty as well.
But it wasnÕt the only reason she was disliked among the tamaranean population, as we are
about to find out.
Coming in at number 9 IS THE OTHER REASON HER PEOPLE DIDNÕT ACCEPT HER.
Other than her illness and generally grim personality, Blackfire was widely shunned
by the tamaraneans because on the day of her birth, the citadel empire attacked and destroyed
a part of western tamaran and killed 3000 citizens.
So although she had nothing to do with the attack, her people associated her with that
dreadful day and she was never quite able to shake off the feelings of guilt.
Next, at number 8, we have HER BLINDNESS.
She just doesnÕt get a break does she??
During one of her many fights with her sister, Blackfire was thrown into a nearby waterfall.
She attempted to use her starbolts but it backfired when she ended up just boiling herself
alive in the rapids she fell into.
She was assumed dead and did end up being blinded by the incident.
It wasnÕt until her warrior lieutenant and lover at the time DoÕrion sacrificed himself
that she was able to get her sight and powers back.
Yep, thatÕs a story.
In the number 7 spot SHE FOUND A NEW PLANET FOR HER PEOPLE.
See, sheÕs not al bad?
Sort of?
Blackfire attempted to win the planet Rann from Vril Dox, the heir of Braniac, also known
as Braniac 2.
Obviously needs to start a war.
However, Dox was willing to share the planet with the tamaraneans, offering them a home
on the southern part of the planet.
This gives the tamaraneans a new home and gives Blackfire a newfound sense of respect
for Dox.
And she realizes that he and her re not so different; they both ant the best for their
people.
They both are egotistical jerks.
Coming in at number 6 IS ROBIN REMINDS STARFIRE OF HER SISTER.
Just a fun little tidbit to see the parallel in personalities.
Although blackfire does not make an appearance in the 2016 movie Justice League vs Teen titans,
she is name dropped by Starfire.
Starfire, while complaining about RobinÕs negative attitude toward Nightwing, tells
Wayne that he reminders her of her sister Blackfire.
Wonder if this means Wayne and Blackfire would make a good couple.
Next up, at number 5 WE HAVE HER LIVE SHOW APPEARANCE.
Blackfire will appear in the upcoming and highly anticipated live action show, Titans,
coming out in 2018.
And while a few of the actors have been revealed, such as ana Diop for Starfire, we are still
waiting on several, one of which is who will portray the Titans antagonist of Blackfire.
But we eagerly await it.
IÕm curious to know in the comments section, who do you guys think it should be??
Up next at number 4 SHE SENTENCED HER OWN SIS TO EXECUTION.
And you thought your sister was bad, at least she didnÕt try to off you for defending yourself
against a rapist.
When Starfire was enslaved, more on that in our Starfire facts videos, she was provoked
to the point of killing one of her tormentors, and you know how much it takes her to kill
someone straight up.
As punishment Blackfire decided she should be murdered herself, but before she got to
it both sisters were captured by the psions.
Who were pure evil, but at least they did some good here inadvertently.
In the number 3 spot IS THE TIME THE SISTERS MADE UP.
They werenÕt always at odds, and in this case they even ended up hugging it out and
putting their differences aside.
For a little while anyway.
The two sisters had to team up to fight off the blight, a race of parasitic aliens.
Blackfire was stabbed in the back by the leader of the Blight, and Starfire responded by clearing
everything around them with her powers in rage.
Because of this, the sisters are able to reclaim the tamaranean throne.
Which Starfire allows Blackfire to have.
Coming in at number 2 we have HER STARBOLTS.
Because she was experimented on by the psions upon her capture, Darkfire has the ability
to shoot star bolts out of her hands, a power that is not shared by all tamaraneans in the
comic books.
Because she was subjected to the experimentation for a long period of time than Starfire, her
bolts are actually stronger in power than those of her sisterÕs.
And she used them to knock over Starfire, even though Star was releasing her from their
psionic prison.
Nice one.
And finally, in the number 1 spot SHE IS STARFIREÕS WORST NIGHTMARE.
This was revealed in teen titans go comic book.
In the book the team faces off against a villain named Phobia.
Phobia possesses the ability to create illusions of her victimÕs worst fears.
When the team encountered her, she projected an image of Blackfire into StarfireÕs mind,
showing that there was no villain the hero feared as much as her own big sis.
Nex time your own sister wants to borrow your sweater, maybe you should let her.
She could turn out to be the next Blackfire.
So those were the top 10 BLACKFIE FACTS.
Let me know in the comment section down below whO you think should play Blackfire in the
new show.
