Starman (Golden Age)
Ted Knight was a genius inventor who developed a way to harness cosmic energy from the stars. Encouraged by his cousin to make a difference, Ted created the Cosmic Rod and fought crime in Opal City as Starman. He served as a member of the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron.
In the late 1940's, Ted suffered a nervous breakdown from the murder of his finance and his guilt from helping create the atomic bomb. He would stay in semi-retirement after he recovered, defending Opal when necessary while getting married and having two sons.
