Aleta Ogord

Created for Marvel Comics, Aleta Ogord first appeared in The Defenders #29 and is an Arcturan from Arcturus IV operating primarily in the Earth-691 future timeline. In comics continuity her history includes family tragedy involving the Ogord family, shared‑body phenomena with Stakar Ogord producing the composite Starhawk identity, and participation in galaxy‑spanning conflicts (Badoon invasion, Reavers of Arcturus, encounters with Korvac). In the MCU she appears as a Ravager leader portrayed by Michelle Yeoh in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Comic depictions vary by era and editorial redesign; writer/artist Jim Valentino described his redesign as making Aleta a 'statuesque female' whose feet 'never touch the ground,' visually separating her from the male Starhawk. She is often shown elevated or hovering on discs of solid light. The MCU portrayal by Michelle Yeoh presents Aleta as a Ravager captain in costume appropriate to that film continuity (specific canonical costume details not supplied in the noted sources).

In comics Aleta can focus photons into solid‑light constructs (battering rams, bubbles, ramps, discs used to stand or fly), create and manipulate complex light constructs (including changing their size and movement), and is described as capable of lifting roughly 50 tons. She possesses enhanced stamina, durability, and agility as an Arcturan, an extremely long lifespan, immunity to most known diseases and radiation sickness, and extrasensory sensitivity to energy patterns. She can phase through solid matter by aligning her molecules to a target's molecular pattern. When merged with Stakar as Starhawk, additional abilities attributed include flight via anti‑gravitons at speeds approaching light, survival in vacuum, concussive light blasts, protective shields, and limited precognition; after separation she retained powers granted during the merging. Behaviorally, she functions as protector and adventurer, with complex personal dynamics toward Stakar (initial resentment evolving after forced merging) and a history shaped by familial trauma (the kidnapping and transformation of her grandchildren by Ogord).
