In the new video game in Justice 2, one of the key characters is Atrosidas, who is the head of the Redlands and Corps. He also has a pet cat named Daxstar. Some might think this little guy is an alien since the Redlands are from space, but Daxstar is actually an Earth cat, and his story starts an animal shelter in Brooklyn. Daxstar was given up by his original owner but was adopted by a woman who loved his blue fur. She took him in and loved him. She was quite lonely and having the cat around made her life better, and she knew that if Daxstar could talk, he would say the same thing. And she was right, Daxstar loved her. Unfortunately, one night a burglar broke into the apartment they lived in. Daxstar scratched him but was too small to stop him and the burglar killed his owner. When the police arrived, they closed the crime scene and thought that Daxstar would disturb the crime scene and kicked him to the curb. It seems likely that they didn't realise Daxstar lived there, though in truth they would have only taken him to the animal shelter again. But instead, Daxstar now lived on street, and one night two idiots captured him and decided to put him in a sack bag and throw him off a bridge to watch him drown. As he was falling to the river, a red lantern ring flew by and sensed the rage in his heart and flew onto his tail and made him a red lantern. Now normally when a red lantern is made, the first thing they do is kill the ones who are or who have put a skew to them in the past, as a ring normally senses their rage during or after a great tragedy has been committed against them. But in Daxstar's case, he didn't attack the ones who threw him off the bridge, but instead flew back to his owner and vowed to get vengeance on the one who had killed her, which is actually a rather touching moment in the story. The fact that Daxstar's intelligence seems to be raised by the red lantern ring is quite odd, as the red lantern rings normally reduce its wearers into a mindless beast of rage that is not capable of higher brain function, at least until they have been placed in the river of blood on the red lantern court homeworld. But in Daxstar's case, his intelligence was raised not lowered. Perhaps this is something to be a lower life form to begin with, but in any case it's never really explained. But one thing that is true of Daxstar is that he is a very loyal creature, as shown by his dedication to being his owner's killer to justice, or at least get revenge on them. This loyalty seems to switch over to atrocitas, as Daxstar now views him as his new master, and this seems to be why he becomes atrocities cat. He is loyal to atrocitas and no one else. He even saved atrocitas life once when the other red lanterns attacked him and tried to kill him. Daxstar was originally created as a joke by the artist Shane Davis, as it was the most bizarreest thing the artist could think of drawing as a blood-volunting red lantern, and he is even named after the Shane Davis's pet cat, Dexter. However, Jeff Jones light the character and decided to flesh him out a bit more and give him a larger role in the red lantern core. And thanks to positive responses from the fans, he became a key character in the red lantern core. Daxstar of course has all the powers of a red lantern, meaning he can fly, including flight space, create wormholes, vomit burning blood, blast energy projections, and unlike a lot of red lanterns, he can also create energy constructs. He can also form energy shields, use a electromagnetic scan to see through walls, and the ring also drains the power of the green lantern rings in close proximity, and he can use his ring to communicate with others of course. He is actually not a playable character in the injustice to game at the moment, he just assists atrocitas. Though if the fans demand it enough, the never-real may change that in the future, but it does seem unlikely at the moment. And that is Daxstar's origin and how he came to become a atrocitas pet cat, which I think is quite cute. After all, James Bond has taught us all that you are not a true super villain until you are menacingly stroking a cat in your lap. And I love how he works with atrocitas in the new injustice to video game, assisting him in battle, as it mirrors the comics quite well with their relationship. But what do you think of the character? And do you agree with Never Realms' choice to make him an assistant character to a atrocitas?
