The Suicide Squad: Everything You Need To Know About Starro
5. He Had A Humanoid Form
Starro has a major advantage in a fight since he stands several hundred feet tall, but that doesn't mean the five-limbed foe isn't inclined in taking on a more conventional appearance.
In the REBELS Annual #2, we learn the oldest Starro latched itself onto a Hatoreian alien called Cobi a billion years ago. Every Mother Star stems from this one, making this Starro the original one. Because of this, almost nobody (including most of the heroes of Earth) have never met the real Starro.
Using Cobi as his host, Starro took a more militaristic approach for universal conquest. He used warships to decimate worlds, allowing him to rule its inhabitants with ease. When he found hosts with a particular set of skills or powers, he allowed them to regain their free will to help him destroy civilisations more efficiently. Using these methods, Cobi consumed multiple galaxies.
Cobi attempted to conquer the Milky Way but was defeated by Brainiac 5's squad, the REBELS. Because the heroes of Earth have conquered the Star Conqueror on many occasions, Cobi's greatest desire is to consume the world's citizens as well as every planet in the galaxy.
