Fictional character biography
The self-styled "world's greatest jewel thief", arrogant André LeBlanc made the international most wanted list. He often clashed with the Russian superhero Leonid Kovar (also known as Starfire and later as Red Star). LeBlanc delighted in evading capture by the young hero. Interpol requested that the Teen Titans team up with Kovar to safeguard the Crown Jewels of Sweden from LeBlanc. LeBlanc is so confident in his abilities that he announces his crimes before they are committed. Mutual antagonism spoils the joint efforts of the heroes until Kovar rescues the Titans from LeBlanc's death traps. Kid Flash saves Kovar from death on the subway tracks while Robin defeats LeBlanc in hand-to-hand combat.[1]
