Starman (Jack Knight)
Starman (Jack Knight) is a superhero in the DC Comics Universe and a member of the Justice Society of America. He is the son of the original Starman, Ted Knight. Created by James Robinson and Tony Harris, he first appeared in Zero Hour #1 (September 1994).
Jack is the son of Ted Knight, who, as Starman, was a Golden Age superhero. Although as a child Jack is fascinated by his father's heroic life, he becomes more and more rebellious as he grows older. By the time he reaches adulthood, Jack is disdainful of his father's past. Jack's older brother David takes over his father's mantle, while Jack often regards the superhero role with open disdain.
Although Jack is shown as both schooled and talented in fine art, his true passion is collectibles. He eventually becomes the owner and operator of an antique and collectibles store.
Jack's role in the family changes after David is murdered by the son of Mist, one of his father's old arch-foes. The Mist then attempts to also murder Jack, who narrowly escapes by using one of his father's old gravity rods. Jack resolves to track down the Mist out of a desire to protect his father. He eventually kills Mist's son in battle and captures both Mist and his daughter Nash, who vows revenge. Mist later succumbs to dementia after the death of his son.
Jack reluctantly makes a deal to become Starman if his father agrees to devote his scientific knowledge to the betterment of mankind. Jack eschews a "uniform", instead opting to wear street clothes and protective goggles.
Nash returns as the new Mist and attempts to become Jack's nemesis. She drugs and rapes Jack, with the intent of becoming pregnant. She later gives birth to Jack's son Kyle Knight. Mist intends to raise him to hate Jack and all he stands for.
Although Jack discovers many latent heroic qualities within himself, he only fully embraces them when Nash theorizes that she and Jack are two sides of the same coin. Jack vows to prove her wrong. To do so, he travels to Hell to rescue two men he hardly knows, tries valiantly to save a friendly incarnation of Solomon Grundy, and helps prove Bulletman's innocence when he is accused of having been a Nazi agent during World War II.
Later, Jack joins the Justice Society of America, following in his father's footsteps. Working alongside his father's contemporaries, Jack fights the wizard Mordru, the terrorist organization Kobra, and the time-traveler Extant. Jack has to split his time between Opal City and the JSA's hometown of New York, making him a part-time member. He resigns from the team following his father's death and the end of his superhero career.
