Star Stalker is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

The Star Stalker was a mutant Vorm who destroys planets by absorbing energy in the form of ions (electrically charged atoms).

The Cotati caused the Star Stalker to be exposed to molten lava in its ionic combustion state, causing it to flee. The Cotati traded the information of the creature's sole weakness to the Kree Supreme Intelligence in exchange for freedom from their prison planet to prepare to fight the Star Stalker again. The Cotati split up, taking their allies the Priests of Pama with them.

On Earth, the Priests of Pama there were killed by a Vietnamese criminal names Khruul. The Star Stalker sensed this and traveled to Earth and killed Khruul as well. The Avengers arrived and fought the Star Stalker in the Priests' temple. The Avengers fought him with everything they had, but could not affect him. Mantis realized what the Star Stalker's weakness was, and directed the Vision to attack; the alien could not withstand the Vision's solar ray and fell dead.^[1]

Later, the Grim Reaper resurrected a number of former Avengers foes as pawns for his Legion of the Unliving, using the power of the demon Lloigoroth. The Star Stalker was included among these foes, and attacked Hercules. However, the Grim Reaper lost control of his pawns, and they attacked him until Lloigoroth drew the Grim Reaper and the Legion to him through a dimensional vortex.
