AboutMichael Hope Expertise I can best answer questions about DC comics since the late 70`s, especially questions about core characters such as the Batman, Flash, Green Lantern; and teams such as the Justice League, Titans, Justice Society, etc. I either possess or have knowledge of almost all cross-over / team-up events such as Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Age of Amalgam, etc.
Experience I have been an avid (even rabid) collector and fan of comic books for over 25 years. I have a personal collection of comics or various genres (mainly superhero) numbering in the thousands of volumes. I keep abreast of comic related news via the internet, related periodicals, and gossip at my local comic shop. I am also quite interested in comics related areas such as movies, TV shows, and toy collectibles.

Question How come Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Wonder Woman can fly even though they are from Planet Earth?
Can Flash fly with his wind-powered air?
Is that true that Katma Tui is from another planet?
If Hawkgirl is from another planet then why do she have her last name?
Is Star Sapphire really from another planet?
Why is Star Sapphire a supervillainess instead of superheroine?
Answer Sonali -
Green Lantern can fly with his power ring, an alien device. Wonder Woman is powered by ancient Goddesses and gods of Greece.
Flash can levitate up and down with his air vortexes but not fly like Superman.
Katma Tui is from Korugar, like Sinestro.
Hawkgirl's last name is Hol - but on Earth she spells it Hall to blend in.
I don't know where Star Sapphire is from, sorry. I know she is crazy though, her power gem brings out her dark side making her evil.
