> Sola, like the Volunteer, was inspired by two separate characters, one well known, the other obscure. It will be interesting to see who, if anyone, figures out the obscure one.
>
> Incidentally, for those who remember the Xelian's Oblivion Projector from Skybreaker's Call--Sola was the target they had in mind when they built it.

>> Well, I'm guessing that Phoenix is the well known one. The other I'm not sure...Sola didn't get a lot of screen time, so there aren't a lot of characteristics to key on. Fire, maybe?
>>> **u/DocFuture** [+1] (a day later)
>>>
>>> No, Fire isn't the obscure one, though you are right about Phoenix--the wings ref was a bit of a giveaway. The scene with the Merionians is, among other things, my answer to X-Men 135 (original series).
>>>
>>> The key for the obscure one is that Sola spent most of her time inside the sun--she couldn't safely land on Earth or get very close to people because she can never cool down far enough.

>>>> Celestia?

>>>> That thing in Effulgence where one of the Jokers who could burn/regenerate teleported into the middle of a sun, and was forcibly teleported back, and when he returned he was so hot he flashed the room on fire until he burned-in-place to regenerate?

>>>> Also, I'm guessing that Blue Sentinel is Green Lantern + Blue Beetle?

>>>>> Sunswift, from 'The Futurians' by Dave Cockrum, who , not incidentally, was the co-creator of Phoenix.
>>>>>
>>>>> No Blue Beetle--Blue Sentinel was inspired by a specific vision of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern: There was a very brief cameo by him in I think the second Dark Knight series, where he has turned rather alien after losing everyone he really cared about on Earth.
