Star Hawkins is a science fiction detective character appearing in media published by DC Comics, primarily their flagship science-fiction anthology title Strange Adventures.

[9] Eventually Star's reputation gets work from the National Science Center, Earth's law-enforcement agency, although it does not solve his perennial money problems.

[15][16] They come up against one group of space terrorists, the League of Five Planets, more than once; thwarting a plan to steal security codes and attack Earth's outer planetary bases[17] and then defeating them again in their last ever case more than fifteen years later.

[2] On three occasions, by blind luck Star Hawkins and Ilda become catalysts for significant changes to robot rights.

Ilda is saved from being scrapped, having reached the end of her robot model's life, reprieved by the Government in recognition of her usefulness in crime solving.

[18] Star and Ilda are also instrumental in changing apartheid-style rules when solving a case in a resort hotel in the asteroid belt.

On the other hand, he does have a sharp mind and a keen eye, and is athletic and physically quick, and carries a ray gun.

[9] She has Super-X vision, which enables her to see through walls, a certain measure of telepathic ability and "Intuition tubes" which warn her of danger (mainly from other females).

A version of Star Hawkins appears in the 1990 miniseries Twilight, by Howard Chaykin and José Luis García-López.

[23] One Star Hawkins story is reprinted in the trade paperback anthology "Pulp Fiction Library: Mystery in Space" (DC Comics, 1999) ISBN 1-56389-494-7.
