HISTORY 

Hank Fletcher was an American astronaut. While performing repairs on a satellite, he was accidentally launched into deep space. A failure in his suit caused a total disconnection of communications and satellite tracking, making impossible to accurately locate his position. The speed at which he was leaving was such that any rescue attempt would be extremely dangerous and technically unfeasible due to the distance and the lack of resources to reach him in time. All he could do was wait for the end. But instead, he found Starshrine, an abandoned space station. A space station built by non-human hands. The Artificial Intelligence that operated the station took the remains of the astronaut and rebuilt him, adding some improvements. Quite a few improvements. The man who was once Hank Fletcher was now the demigod (?) Stardust. Totally changed by the experience, both physically and mentally, Stardust returned to Earth to confront all the evils that afflicted the planet and the human race. Relentlessly. Stardust was not alone in his crusade for long; He was soon joined by other men and women at least as determined as him to lead the Earth and the Human Race on the right path. They called themselves the Sixth Column. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Starshrine altered Hank Fletcher incredibly, turning him into Stardust. His powers are immense. He has vast scientific knowledge. He possessed irresistible strength, was virtually indestructible and could fly under his own power and without protection in the vacuum of space. Stardust could also teleport himself and/or others in a star-shaped flash of light. He could also fire a variety of rays, including stasis rays, concussive force rays, transmuters, anti-gravity, magnetic, disintegrators, reverse arc, tractors, and reducers. He was capable of turning invisible or shining like a miniature sun. He could decrease or increase his size at will, among many other things. Starshrine remains in heliostationary orbit and is Stardust's "Fortress of Solitude". The Box is a fully automated cryoprison that he created shortly after starting his crusade to lock up the most dangerous criminals and is located in the orbit of Pluto.
