Dex-Starr, formerly known as Dexter is a character from DC Comics. He is a member of the Red Lantern Corps.

Dex-Starr was originally a single woman's cat named Dexter, whom he loved as much as she loved him. One day someone broke into her home, and although Dexter attacked the intruder with his claws but he couldn't stop him. Dexter's owner was brutally murdered. When the police eventually arrived and saw Dexter they kicked him out of the house, yelling, "Scram!" as they said they didn't want him to ruin the crime scene. As he found a place to sleep, sad and alone, two hoodlums found him and shoved him into a sack, and he was thrown into the river. Feeling the rage and sorrow in his heart, Atrocitus (leader of the Red Lantern Corps) called out to him making him the Red Lantern "Dex-Starr" with Dexter soon using the ring to exact revenge against the two men who had placed him into a sack before attempting to throw it into a river. Afterwards, Dex-Starr flies back to his late owner's apartment and cuddles by her lifeless body crying and says, "I find who hurt you. I kill. I good kitty."

Dex-Starr has the appearance of a domestic house cat with blue fur, yellow eyes, and a long tail. He wears his power ring on his tail and while doing so, his ring creates a modified Red Lantern Uniform.

As a Red Lantern, Dex-Starr draws power from a magic power ring that grants flight, breathing in outer space, energy projection, and energy construct creation, and the ability to comprehend and communicate in every known language in the universe. The Ring is powered by a Red Lantern battery and controlled the wearer's rage and sorrow.
