Adventure 405 – Supergirl hunts for Starfire

Derek’s twin brother Rodney shows up in Adventure 405 (April 1971), by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Dick Giordano.  He goes to Starfire, who blames Supergirl for Derek’s death, and Rodney seeks vengeance against her.

When Supergirl tracks down Starfire, Rodney tries to kill her, and Supergirl briefly believes him to be Derek, back from the dead.  She takes him away, and manages to convince him that Starfire was responsible for his brother’s death.  They devise a plan to capture Starfire, but it backfires when Starfire shows the same compassion for Rodney as she did for his brother, and tries to have him killed.

They escape, of course, and Supergirl messes up Starfire plans to rob a couturier.  Supergirl believes Starfire dead at the end of the story, but the reader sees that she survived.
