[edit] Character history
[edit] Secret Society of Super-Villains
Remoni-Notra, of the planet Pandina, was chosen by the Zamarons to be to be their queen, an honor previously bequeathed upon Earth's Carol Ferris, but refused. Remoni-Notra was given one of the five star sapphire gems and was told of the existence of the other four. Using her powers, she came to Earth to locate and steal Carol Ferris' gem and joined the Secret Society of Super Villains as the new Star Sapphire in hopes of finding a clue to the gem.
On Earth she took the name Deborah Camille Darnell and became a stewardess at Ferris Aircraft, in hopes of getting closer to Carol to take the Star Sapphire gem. As Debbie Darnell, she often dated long-time hero Captain Comet. She also portrayed a French real estate agent named Camille on Earth. Her whereabouts were unknown until recently when it was revealed that she was mind-wiped and put in a coma. She was most likely mind-wiped at the request of Green Lantern Hal Jordan to protect Carol Ferris. She was in a coma following the mind-wipe, and was revived by her teammates in the Secret Society. Together, they again battled the Justice League of America.
[edit] Infinite Crisis
In Infinite Crisis #6, several magic-users summon the Spectre. He singles out Darnell, and says "Deborah Camille Darnell. As Star Sapphire, you have terrorized and enslaved men across the universe. You decapitated and slaughtered those who did not bow down before you. Your hatred for men has resulted in the torturous deaths of hundreds. Vengeance must be had!"
He then transforms her into a sapphire and shatters her, killing her in front of the rest of the magic-users.
[edit] Powers and abilities
As Star Sapphire, Darnell can use her gem of power to fly and to hurl blasts of force nearly equal to the power of a Green Lantern's ring. Moreover, the Sapphire bestows upon her a certain amount of invulnerability and allows her to survive in airless space.
