Post-Flashpoint

After the Omega Titan incident, the Ghost Sector was restored into the universe with Starfire looking to find Tamaran that was among those worlds within this restored region of space.

Using Epoch's equipment, Jessica Cruz managed to pluck an incarnation of her team from prior to their arrival in the Ghost Sector. This included Starfire before her brainwashing and death where she was provided memories of recent events where she along with her comrades worked to stop Darkseid. (Justice League Odyssey v1 #24)

Notes
- Starfire was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez where she made her first appearance in DC Comics Presents v1 #26 (October, 1980).
- In Modern Masters, Volume 2: George Pérez (2003), artist George Pérez noted on the characters creation, "...I figured based on the description, was Red Sonja in outer space, so she ended up having a visual cue from that. When Joe Orlando passed by and saw the character sketches he suggested that maybe her hair should be longer. That I took to the ninth degree and gave her the Mighty Mouse contrail."
