Starhawk (Stakar Vaughn Ogord) is a superhero in a future of the Marvel Comics universe created by Steve Gerber (writer) and Sal Buscema (artist).

Character Biography
Stakar Vaughn was born to the superheroes Quasar and Kismet in the Guardians of the Galaxy alternate timeline in approximately 2002. As such, he was half human and half-artificial being. Just as soon as he was born on the planet Vesper, he was kidnapped and deposited on the planet Arcturus IV. The baby was found by Ogord, a Reaver, and raised as his own.

Stakar cultivated an interest in science and archaeology and explored ruins containing the Hawk God. He and his half-sister Aleta reanimated the dormant deity in about the year 2020 and were remade, taking turns occupying the same physical space, while the other stayed in a 'limbo'. They were given extraordinary power and left Arcturus for the stars.

Stakar would one day be returned to his infant body, reliving his life over countless times (similar to the film Groundhog Day). Because of the knowledge of things to come, he manipulated events to effect what he felt was the most desirable outcome. He made many enemies in doing so, but his tampering and guidance led to formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The true extent of Starhawk's powers are unknown, but they are said to be immense in stature. During the war with the nigh-omnipotent enemry known as Korvac, Starhawk confronted the powerful entity alone and was able to fight him to a standstill.
