History: (R.E.B.E.L.S. Annual #1 (fb)) - <millenia ago> The Hatorei were considered one of the most moral races in the universe, because their telepathic hivemind gave them an amazing empathy matched with great intelligence. They lived simply off the land, feeling no need for technological advancement and content with the shared mental life of their species. Starro invaded their planet, turning them into slaves, and working them to death to prepare for the next generation of Starros. The Hatorei went mad as a species, each one's pain amplified by the pain of all. They were all killed except for brothers Andrez and his young brother Cobi, who prepared for the birth of the new motherstar. Andrez resisted Starro's mental domination, and tried to kill the motherstar, so Starro used Cobi to murder his brother. This final atrocious act enabled Cobi to resist, and after scarring his face by removing the starro spawn attached to it, he placed the motherstar on his chest, and connected with her mind, dominating her. Calling himself Starro the Conqueror he was able to utilize the power of Starro's trillions of star-slaves to give himself immense power. With Starro and her spoawn in his thrall he conquered nine galazxies. His tragic life left him feeling befert of the faith in morals his species believed in, and he determined to test the bets heroes and worst villains he found, to see if one could be corrupted, and the other redeemed.
