Leonid Kovar and his archaeologist father investigated a meteorite that struck a secluded section of Russia in 1908. They discovered that it was actually a space ship. Touching controls inside the vessel, Kovar was charged with energies. Gaining superhuman strength, speed, endurance... Kovar became his country's first superhero as Starfire (later Red Star). Early in his career, Leonid met the Teen Titans on a joint mission.
A soldier serving in the Soviet military of Earth-Two, was embroiled with fellow troops in a battle versus their rivals in China. During a confrontation with the Justice Society of America, who attempted to neutralize the conflict stoked by the Master Summoner, the lad had fatal injuries. Green Lantern used a portion of his meteor powered ring to revive the soldier. Gaining the powers of a green tornado, this led to temporary chaos inflicted upon the boy's own homeland until the Summoner finally succumbed to defeat.
As with counterpart, Red Star likewise could channel vast amounts of energy plasma through his body through varying effects, although this attribute of his power set manifested itself years after he first appeared. His relationship with the Titans over the years grew tenuous due to his assignment to end the threat of radioactive infections in America caused by his fiancee, who had unwittingly spread her condition under the pretense of a diplomatic mission initiated by a disgruntled Soviet official. Red Star would next be show protecting his native homeland Russia during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Did this "Green Tornado" continue to exhibit such powers after the Society defeated the Summoner, as had Earth-One's Red Star, who periodically appeared in the years following his debut? This is unknown, but perhaps likely.
