Queen Talathus was the grandmother of Starfire.

Many years ago Talathus was queen of Tamaran and wife of King Korithus when they were invaded by the forces of the Citadel demanding that she be handed over a slave. Korithus led Tamaranean forces in a counter attack but was killed in the assault, which led to their two older sons also going into battle. They were also killed, which left Talathus and her youngest son, Mythus alive.

Talathus finally handed herself over to the Citadel in order to keep her beloved Tamaran unharmed leaving Mythus as the young ruler of the planet.

Powers

  • Tamaranean Physiology: Tamareans are a race of humanoid aliens with orange skin and emerald eyes with no pupils. They also possess red hair that, while flying, emits a visible glow that makes them appear like they are on fire.
    • Solar/Ultraviolet Metabolization: Tamaraneans can absorb and process stellar radiation, which provides them with incredible strength and vitality.[1]
      • Flight: The absorption of stellar energy also enables Tamaraneans to defy gravity and fly without the need of artificial enhancements.[2]
        • Interstellar Travel: Some of the stronger Tamaraneans are able to traverse the cosmos at light speed so long as they have copious amounts of extra-stellar energy to subside on.[3]
      • Superhuman Durability: Tamaraneans are incredibly robust to all known forms of injury and abrasion. Being able to survive in the cold vacuous expanse of deep space, resist the intense surface heat of stars and traversal within reach of a Black Hole's event horizon with little irritation.[4][5]
      • Superhuman Stamina
      • Superhuman Speed
      • Superhuman Strength: Tamareans possess higher levels of physical strength compared to humans.
      • Tactile Linguistic Assimilation: All Tamaraneans possess the ability to psychophysically learn another species or ethnicity's vocabulary with little more than a simple touch or passing graze. The most effective means of doing so is usually through lip to lip oral contact with another recipient of the desired community.[citation needed]
