Evil Star

Two separate DC Comics characters bear the Evil Star name. In Golden Age comics (All Star Comics #44, 1948) Guy Pompton adopts the costumed identity 'Evil Star' as a criminal alias to protect his enterprise. In Silver Age and later continuities an Aoran scientist invents a device called the Starband (or Starbrand) to 'cheat death' by drawing power from the stars; the device prolongs his life, grants powers, and 'twists his mind toward evil,' leading him to attack other worlds and come into conflict with cosmic custodians and Green Lanterns.

Descriptions in the sources focus on function rather than detailed visuals. Guy Pompton is presented as a costumed crime lord identity without specific costume details in the provided summaries. The alien Evil Star is associated with the Starband/Starbrand that preserves youth; when the device is removed he undergoes rapid aging. The alien also creates smaller attendants called Starlings, implying a capacity to produce humanoid replicates or constructs.

The alien Evil Star's abilities derive from the Starband/Starbrand: drawing stellar energy to prolong life and grant powers. Documented effects include flight (noted as capable of flying at the speed of sound), survival in outer space, telepathy (mind reading and alteration), projection of illusions, telekinetic manipulation (particularly of metal), force‑blast projection, the creation of hard‑light constructs, and empowering and commanding Starlings. Starlings themselves possess superhuman physical abilities and carry replica devices but require direct commands from Evil Star and become defenseless if he is rendered unconscious.
