Freed From Rebirth
When the Guardians traveled back in time to the 20th century of Earth-616, their native timeline was altered - to the extent that Starhawk had lived his entire life over again and was waiting for their arrival. Stakar and Aleta had harsh words for each other, and the Hawk God appeared and intervened, attaching the two ex-lovers by bonding their fingers together. After being forced to work together for a time, the Hawk God again granted them audience, allowing them to plead their cases. He separated them, and allowed both to retain power.
Although Aleta chose to stay with the Guardians, the Hawk God told Stakar the truth about his heritage. He then went on a quest to learn more and found his mother Kismet, alive and living in a secluded religious retreat on the planet Vesper. At that, a creature who called himself Era, the son of Eon, revealed himself. It admitted having kidnapped Stakar at birth, along with other vile deeds.
With the encouragement of the Hawk God, Starhawk and Kismet dedicated themselves to locating and confronting Era.
