Superhero comics, by default, are not exactly “cute.” Even the brightest, perkiest, and bubbliest character can still possess their fair share of thematic elements. But one of the most defining features of a good superhero is how they turn their angst and depression, their most traumatic of pasts, into forces of positivity. Those are the lessons and morals that make superheroes so timeless and endearing. Readers of all ages can always benefit from reading a tale of hope and inspiration.There are some superheroes, however, that go in the polar opposite direction with their intrapersonal strife. Some characters, while still technically fighting the good fight, are much more extreme in their methods than the more straight-backed heroes. DC’s littlest Red Lantern, Dex-Starr, is one such character that has the privilege of being not only one of the cutest little pussycats around but also one of the most wrathful and bloodthirsty.How a little cat from Earth would come to be chosen by the Red Lanterns may be one of the most heart-breaking origins in all of comics. Dex-Starr was originally a stray kitten who was saved by a single woman. Dex-Starr grew to love his new mother, but tragedy struck horribly. Robbers broke into their apartment and killed Dex-Starr’s adoptive mother, threw him in a sack, and tossed him into a river. As Dex-Starr became filled with more and more rage over his and his mother’s fates, a Red Lantern Ring flew down from the sky and deputized him to become a member of the Red Lantern Corps. No kitty cat should ever have to suffer what Dex-Starr did.
