Dead, then burning
Al-Lzar was once a planet, then dead, then a fully functioning star. Researchers detected a strange energy signature eight days after the first report.

One star.
One arc.
The current Power Comics universe is the Protostar Arc: the story of an impossible star, the people caught in its signal, and what happens when its power is forced into the world.
The science of an All Star
What makes
an All Star?
An All Star is formed when a dead planet transforms into a star and goes supernova at the exact same moment as a nearby star. Their combined energy forms something hot, cold, sticky, wet, dry, and radioactive all at once.

The signal
explained.
The Issue #1 worksheet traces the Al-Lzar event, the energy signatures, and the name given to the new star.
Three signatures
Al-Lzar and its original sun went supernova at the exact same moment. A third supernova joined the pattern and the combined signatures formed a new star.
Proto-Allstar
The scientists call the phenomenon a Proto-Allstar because the three supernovas created an entirely new kind of star: an ALL STAR.
