Obsidian (character)
Obsidian (Todd James Rice) is a superhero published by DC Comics. He first appeared in All-Star Squadron #25 (September 1983), and was created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway. He is the son of Alan Scott and Rose Canton and the twin brother of Jade. According to an Infinity, Inc. letter page, Obsidian was named "Todd" after a friend of Thomas.
Obsidian made his first live-action appearance on the second season of the DC show Legends of Tomorrow, with a younger version of the character portrayed by Dan Payne, with no speaking lines, and an older version portrayed by Lance Henriksen. Rice also appears in the third season of Stargirl on the CW network played by Tim Gabriel.
Thomas spoke on the character's creation, stating "To make up for Nuklon's and Northwind's non-blood-relative status, Dann and I decided that Alan Scott, a.k.a. Green Lantern, would have two kids in the new group—twins, no less... Obsidian became the dark side of the ring's magic, but that concept seems to have taken a bit more time to come together."
Todd Rice is the son of Alan Scott and Rose Canton, respectively the Golden Age superhero Green Lantern and villain Thorn. Todd was raised in an abusive adoptive home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a teenager, he discovers that he has a twin sister, Jennie-Lynn Hayden / Jade. After reuniting, the two follow in their father's footsteps and become superheroes and founding members of Infinity, Inc.
In post-Crisis continuity, Obsidian is a member of the Justice League. After being corrupted by Ian Karkull, Obsidian attempts to cover Earth in darkness. He is defeated in battle by Alan Scott, Obsidian retreats to the Shadowlands, the otherdimensional plane from which he derives his powers. Obsidian later allies with the mystical villains Mordru and Eclipso, but is stopped by the Justice Society and cured of his mental instability.
Afterwards, Obsidan retired, came to terms with being a gay man, and began dating Damon Matthews, an assistant district attorney and ally of Kate Spencer / Manhunter.
Obsidian later degenerates into an egg made of darkness after being attacked by Kid Karnevil. A time-traveling Mister Terrific informs Alan Scott that the egg must be hatched to save Obsidian's life. In the present, Karnevil searches for the egg, but is confronted by a resurrected Obsidian, who takes him out.
During the "Brightest Day" storyline, Obsidian and the JSA come into contact with Batman's new Justice League after Alan Scott is possessed by an unknown entity and takes off into the sky. After catching up with Scott and reuniting with Jade, the teams figure out that the being controlling Scott is the Starheart, the cosmic force that granted Scott and his children their abilities. The Starheart then takes over Obsidian's body as well and disappears.
