History: (Green Lantern IV #19 (fb)) - Hal briefly dated Air Ferris stewardess Debbie Darnell. He got bored with her, and she told him not to say he was going to call when he wasn't. Hal wished her good luck, said they had fun, and sent her on her way. The Star Sapphire later approached Debbie because Hal briefly desired her, and made her into the Star Sapphire of the Secret Society of Super-Villains.

(Identity Crisis #3 (fb)) - Star Sapphire and the Secret Society switched bodies with the JLA. They took time to document the JLA s secret identities. After being defeated the JLA erased their memories with Zatanna s help.

(JLA #115-119) - Despero brought Sapphire out of her coma with his mental powers and restored her memories that d been mind-wiped years ago by the JLA after learning the secret identities of the heroes. Despero also restored the memories of former Secret Society of Super-Villains members Wizard, Chronos, Felix Faust, Floronic Man and Matter Master. The former allies teamed up and attacked Red Tornado in Happy Harbor and Ralph Dibny in Opal City to attract the JLA s attention. They defeated the JLA and then confronted Batman, presenting him with the unconscious bodies of the JLA. The JLA revived, and the villains chose to retreat. The JLA presumed that the former Society members who had their minds intact remembered their secret identities, and went to look in on their loved ones. The former Society members made an attack on the Daily Planet, trying to kill Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. They planned to take out all the JLA s loved ones. The JLA defeated them, and had to decide what to do with the villains. Hawkman was adamant about mindwiping them again, and called for a vote, but it was a draw. Zatanna told the team her past actions were an abuse of magic, and she refused to mindwipe anyone ever again. She told the JLA to take her off reserve status and left for Themyscira. Zatanna talked with Wonder Woman, and had a change of heart. She considered the Society members her mess, and she once again mindwiped them, telling them they were getting off easy for what they tried to do to the JLA.
