Guy Pompton is a crime lord and the owner of Ace Movie Rental Agency. He dons a costumed identity to stop a movie studio from completing a film using a script that will expose his criminal activities and battles the Justice Society of America before being defeated.

Unknown

The second Evil Star is an alien scientist from the planet Aoran who invents the Starband to gain immortality. However, it corrupts his mind and prematurely ages the Aorans. After killing the Aorans, Evil Star becomes an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps and allies with Neron and the Kroloteans, with the former enhancing his powers. In Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp's The Green Lantern, alien slavers kill Evil Star and steal the Starband.

Powers, abilities, and equipment

Evil Star's primary weapon is the Starband, which grants him a prolonged lifespan, high-speed flight, telepathy, telekinesis, hard-light constructs, and the ability to generate illusions. Furthermore, he can generate "Starlings", smaller versions of him who possess similar abilities, but are incapable of acting without orders.
