Fictional character biography

Solaris is a star-like robot created to counter an organic computer virus that contains his programming and was sent by his future self. Afterward, Solaris becomes an enemy of Superman and his descendants until the 505th-century Superman sacrifices himself to reprogram it. By the 853rd century, Solaris is placed in Uranus' orbit to warm the outer parts of the Solar System and relay information, and is overseen by Starman.[3][4][5][6]

Solaris' resentment of Superman leads him to ally with Starman and Vandal Savage to kill Superman. However, Solaris is destroyed by Superman and the past Justice League.

In The New Golden Age, Legionnaire harnesses Solaris' power while battling Eclipso.[7]

Reception

Comics Alliance praised Solaris for being a major villain who did not necessarily need to be tied to his story of origin, nor appear often, unlike Bane or Doomsday.[10]
