Super-Vixens: Darthartheen

Another  awesome “one-shot” character by John Byrne,  Darthartheen was one of the descendents of OA who knew how to handle a power ring just as well as Hal Jordan himself!

Featured in the Green Lantern special GANTHET’S TALE, (drawn by Byrne and written by science fiction writer Larry Niven), Darthatheen’s multi-dimensional persona made her stand out among Lantern’s opponents, and the open-ended revenge theme leads one to think Niven and Byrne were planning on expanding her character in some future tale.

Throughout the tale,  facets of her complex personality are hinted at- after savagely battling with the girl, Hal is surprised to find she actually cares about the fate of  an advesary she may have been able to save. When she is confronted with the death of her beloved father, she swears revenge, and we think we’re getting set up for an awesome cosmic showdown between Hal and Darthatheen…

But, it was not to be, and to this date, GREEN LANTERN: GANTHET’S TALE is the sole appearance of the tough but thoughtful woman warrior, at least as far as I know...If anyone has any more information about this young lady, please drop me a line!

Wait, Did I say YOUNG lady? As Hal noted himself, though the gal might LOOK like a pretty young lady, Darthartheen is in fact, hundreds of years old!
