ĭarkstar, along with many other deceased mutants, was resurrected by Selene and Eli Bard with the Transmode Virus, but was later returned to rest with Selene's defeat.įollowing her death, a gem capable of reproducing her powers and imbued with a measure of her essence was used by the Russian government to imbue specially selected agents with the powers and alias of Darkstar. A funeral was held in her honor at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, where she was buried. She was possessed by Weapon XII, and Fantomex was forced to kill her. She perished while fighting creations of the Weapon Plus program in the Channel Tunnel between France and England. ĭarkstar eventually joined the X-Corporation office in Paris, France. Later, when the People's Protectorate was rechristened the Winter Guard, Darkstar was recruited into the team. They were rescued and revived by a man known as Blind Faith and his team called the Siberforce whom she joined. The former Soviet Super-Soldiers eventually defected to the United States but were captured and returned to the Soviet Union, beaten into a coma by their replacements, the Supreme Soviets. ĭarkstar joined the Soviet Super-Soldiers alongside her over-protective brother, Vanguard.

Darkstar quit the Champions and returned to Russia, leaving behind a devastated Iceman.

While a member of the Champions, she and Bobby Drake, the former X-Man known as Iceman, came close to entering into a romantic relationship, but Laynia liked Iceman as a friend, and not as a love interest.

Instead, she switched sides and joined the Black Widow's then-current team, the Champions of Los Angeles, remaining with the team until it disbanded.
