Aleta Ogord, briefly also known as Starhawk, is a fictional character, a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is depicted in a future of the Marvel Universe.
Aleta Ogord first appeared in The Defenders #29 and was created by Steve Gerber, Sal Buscema, and Vince Colletta.
Aleta Ogord is an Arcturan who was born on the planet Arcturus IV in the late 20th century of the Earth-691 timeline. She was trained to be aggressive and resented her weak and intellectual adoptive brother Stakar. When she was physically merged with Stakar, such that only one of them could exist physically at any one time, she spent much time suspended in limbo. She grew passive and in time fell in love with Stakar. The Hawk God allowed the two to separate for a time and she gave birth to three children named Tara, Sita, and John.
Aleta's father Ogord sought revenge on Starhawk for abandoning him, kidnapped his grandchildren, and turned them into psychic vampires. The children were killed, and Aleta held it against Stakar for the rest of his life, as she felt he could have prevented it.
As an adventurer and protector, Starhawk and Aleta first meet the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Defenders. They aids the heroes in the defeat of the Badoon invasion force. Starhawk joined the Guardians of the Galaxy in a space mission, and helped defeat the Topographical Man. It is revealed how Stakar and Aleta had first merged into a composite being as Starhawk. They helped battle the Reavers of Arcturus. Starhawk teamed with the time-traveling Thor, and battled Korvac and his Minions of Menace. Starhawk later traveled to the present day alongside his fellow Guardians, and assisted the Avengers in battle against Korvac. Alongside the Guardians, the Fantastic Four, Dargo, and Keeper, Starhawk battled manifestations of Korvac's power in various eras. In 3017 A.D., Starhawk and Aleta went on a quest to find the lost shield of Captain America. They battled Taserface and the Stark, and defeated the Stark. Eventually, Aleta defeated and expelled Stakar's consciousness from her being, and sent Stakar back in time to begin his life cycle again.
