--Starfighter

Duncan Keller is known as Starfighter, an intergalactic space hero with powerful and mysterious powers. After gaining his powers early in his life he started traveling to and from Jaranatha where he eventually met his wife and had two children. Although he led a long and successful career, Starfighter eventually felt his powers waning in his mature age. He noticed, however, that his powers were not just waning but transferring to his children who inherited the powers of Starfighter.

Powers and Abilities

• Unique Physiology: Starfighter creates energy from his body, he requires nothing but himself to power his abilities. He gets his power from the Cosmic Lorus, a mystical combination of shapes, patterns and symbols that give the user great power and insight.

• Energy Projection: Starfighter can create bursts of energy from his hands. These are usually energy beam attacks which can be powerful.
• Energy Construct Creation: Starfighter can manipulate this energy he creates to form shields or symbols in the air.
• Flight: Starfighter can fly of his own accord and has great maneuverability.
• Teleportation: Starfighter can teleport from Earth to Jarranatha quite easily.
• Interstellar Travel: Starfighter can fight in space without needing to breathe, travel far distances in the vacuum of space and survive in space unaided.
• Mindwipe: Starfighter has forced people to forget entire subjects.
• Stealth: Starfighter can cause his body to become quiet, making all his actions stealthy.

• Tactical Analysis: While never a true leader of the Honor Guard, Starfighter would often guide his teammates in the middle of battle. So much so that he would more often lead rather than take action on his own.

Trivia

• Starfighter is also known simply as S.F. or Starf, specifically by his one time partner Quark.
• Starfighter used to use a different costume earlier in his career with the Honor Guard. Since then he was graduated to using a more armored appearance.
