As Mandy lacks any kind of superpowers, it's looking to be a very one sided fight. Things come to a head however when Mandy is contacted by her supervillain aunt, who demands a fight to the death.

She has a lot of unresolved frustration around it, leading her to act out in various rebellious, self-destructive ways. Mandy is unlike her mother in practically everyway, and struggles with living under her shadow. I am Not Starfire is a story about Mandy, the teenage daughter of celebrity superhero Starfire. These guys presumably don't consume a lot of the same literature as teenage girls, and so perhaps they aren't the best possible judge of their entertainment. I am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and\/as aliens about knowing where you come from and where you are going and about mothers.Ī lot of the reviews from adult men seem to be clueless about this, complaining about how they can't relate to the comic or its characters and how they don't understand who it will appeal to. How do you become the person you re supposed to be when you don t know what that is? How do you become the person you re supposed to be when the only thing you re sure of is what you re not? When someone from Starfire s past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. Mandy likes Claire (even if she denies it, heartily and intensely). But then everything changes when she gets partnered with Claire for a school project. Mandy s big plan is that she s going to move to France and do whatever people do in France. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. And it s possible Mandy is even more distant lately, ever since she walked out on her S.A.T.s. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant angry light years away moon. Mandy has no powers, is a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend Lincoln. Starfire is gorgeous, tall, sparkly, and a hero. Seventeen\-year\-old Mandy, daughter of Starfire, is NOT like her mother.
