Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?: The story takes place in a magical society where men become shapeshifters and women become witches, but the protagonist Aster is a boy who cannot transform and secretly tries to study witchery. It is easily read as a metaphor for discrimination in gender roles, with men being pushed toward violent activities and women towards domestic ones. Though Aster never displays explicit discomfort specifically with being assigned male, it's shown his preference for magic isn't merely personality when Mikasi tastes his soul and discovers it is that of a witch. Inversely, his grandmother turns out to be a partial shapeshifter. Energy Transference: Klarion is able to empower objects with magic. He created a Rod of Power from a femur for C'th.

In this story, he encountered Robin while pursuing another inhabitant of Limbo Town to Gotham City. It appears that the previous version of Klarion and Teekl has been completely wiped from the DCU, as Robin has no memory of anyone by that name upon first meeting Klarion. Furthermore, Klarion dubs Robin a friend and hero at the end of the story. Such a wipe and re-introduction on a minor character in the DC universe is usually due to erasure for character reinvention during one of the DCU multi-verse reshaping "Crisis" storylines, e.g. Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis.

It's implied magic is a secret to the outside society since Charlie seems surprised by the mere existence of magic, but it also seems rather lightly enforced. Aster can leave his family's grounds with relative ease, and while his family chews him out for letting Charlie onto their grounds and talking to her about magic, they don't kill her or give her amnesia to cover it up. This is the second animated incarnation of Klarion. His first animated appearance was in the DC Animated Universe series The New Batman Adventures, in which he was also depicted as a spoiled child who acted out when he didn't get his way. However, in the former he was a normal human boy who had dabbled into witchcraft, as opposed to being a Lord of Chaos like in the current version. Moreover, his pet cat Teekl had the ability to turn itself into a humanoid-like form and often did its master's dirty work. Also, it had no apparent purpose of working as a mystical link between Klarion and the mortal plane. Klarion posed as Tempest and stole the remaining fragments of the statue needed to resurrect Tiamat from Aquagirl. He made his escape through a portal, but was followed by Tula. [26]

Meaningful Name: "Aster" is a kind of flower, and is notable for being the only flower that's used as a masculine name, alluding to his non-conforming gender expression.
