Description Lastest Keith Giffen redesign commission, Dawnstar! I love Dawnstar for a multitude of reasons. First, she adds a bit of diversity to the Legion of Super-Heroes. Obviously she's a super tracker that puts Wolverine to shame. She can find you three galaxies away Fatal Five, no sense in hiding.

But there are aspects to her ability that aren't readily apparent. She can survive the vacuum of space without a transsuit, and she's really, really fast.

As in sub light speed fast.

Legion cruisers have trouble keeping up with her. It's never been explained exactly how those wings of hers can generate such speed, and perhaps in truth they don't. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another aspect of her alien physiology that explains more fully her flight and velocity.

That's what I love about these characters, even after thirty plus years of continuity/reboots, there's still a wealth of information that's yet to be revealed.

You know, when you put it THAT way, I guess I do have to color it! Okaaaay...stay tuned. And as always, I thank you for compliments. Not bad for some Microns and some Sharpies eh?

I think this is my favourite costume for Dawny....I would love it if her powers were explored more in the sense of how fast she is and how resistant she must be to things like radiation/temperature extremes/etc to be able to fly around in space the way she does. I like the movement in this piece too!

My sentiments exactly razsolo... And thank you, took a bit of chance with the extreme foreshortening, but between that and the swatches of space which did double duty both framing the body and conveying speed, I'd say it worked out fairly well.

This is my favorite Dawnstar costume beside the one she had without her wings. Except in that one she didn't have her wings so that's an issue.

You know, I'm torn Jude. The two most recent re-designs both rocked in my opinion. However I tip my hat to Mr. Giffen for designing a uniform that embraced American Indian culture [yes I know she isn't even from Earth], but the parallels are clearly intentional.
