Real Name Unknown
Origin: Unknown Archetype:
Controller, Defender, or Prestige (?)
Power Sets/Powers: Star Strider's powers have not been fully defined,
but he has been described as an "interstellar explorer" with an "invulnerable force field." The "force field" reference has
led to the speculation that Star Strider is a Controller or Defender. As an entity of "cosmic" power levels, he could also
be an example of a Prestige Archetype, about which very little is currently known.

History
The Rikti invasion began with the appearance of thousands of red, glowing lights all around the world. Initially, the nature and purpose
of these lights was completely unknown. "The Freedom Phalanx made the determination, with the help of a former Portal Corp
researcher, that the lights represented some kind of dimensional portal. Where they led no one could be sure. Long standing
Freedom Phalanx member and renowned interstellar explorer, Star Strider, volunteered to pass through one of the portals and
see what was there. Veiling himself in his invulnerable force field, he entered one of the larger portals and was never seen
or heard from again. Similar experiments in other parts of the world had the same tragic results."
Soon after Star Strider's disappearance, Rikti soldiers came pouring out of
the portals, at last revealing that the red lights were, in fact, gateways to an alien dimension. It is assumed that Star
Strider entered that dimension and was either captured or killed. If he survived his initial explorations, Star Strider's
current fate is unknown. However, it is known that, in order to end the Rikti invasion, a group of heroes passed through another
portal and destroyed the aliens' primary power source. This closed the dimensional gateways, presumably trapping Star Strider
behind enemy lines forever.
