FF #43: STARFIRE (1971)

 Three Starfires preceded the celebrated TEEN TITANS character. One was a male Russian one-shot hero who appeared in a 1968 TITANS comic, but the second was a new villainess for Supergirl when Mike Sekowsky took over the character. This Starfire was a lot like the "Doctor Cyber" character in the contemporaneous "Wonder Woman" comic, also by Sekowsky: a stylish lady fiend with an all-female army. To my knowledge this Starfire hasn't been revived, even under a new name, but I think she might be the first female character who beats up Supergirl when the heroine loses her powers. However, the Maid of Might recovers and trounces the nasty girl.
