Starman (DC Comics) (Comic Book)	comment	James Robinson's most famous series for DC Comics, Starman was one of the steps away from the '90s Anti-Hero and into The Modern Age of Comic Books. The series followed Legacy Character Jack Knight, son of Ted Knight, the Golden Age Starman (there were plenty of others) and something of an Author Avatar. Forced to take over as Starman when his father's first replacement, his older brother David, is killed on the job, Jack is a reluctant newcomer at first, but over the course of the series, his character develops into something akin to old-school heroes while maintaining a distinct personality.Starman is also notable for Robinson's dusting off of plenty of older characters. Golden Age Card-Carrying Villain The Shade, for instance, returned as an Anti-Hero, complete with a backstory. The entire Starman legacy was touched upon, with most of the characters involved (especially the original, Ted Knight) growing out of the one-note molds from their original stories. Along the way, Ted Knight's colleagues in the Justice Society of America were highlighted and brought back to prominence, eventually leading to the highly popular JSA title. (Jack was briefly a member, and new-JSA founder Stargirl carries on his legacy.)Jack Knight first appeared in Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! #1 (September, 1994) and soon graduated to his own title. The ongoing lasted for 81 regular issues (October, 1994-August, 2001), though numbering begun with #0. Starman was also one of the series revived as part of the Blackest Night event.No, David Bowie was not a Starman.

Inverted in "Bobo" Benetti's case. After deciding he couldn't hack it outside of jail, he decides to rob a bank so he can be sent back...only for said bank to be attacked by the Royal Flush Gang. One fight later, he's got a steady job protecting the bank and is on his way to a respectable life. So it's more like someone threw open the Heel-Face door and yanked him inside.

One argues for the "cohesion of words and music" of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, while the other supports the "resonant narrative purity" of Into the Woods. While gunning them down during his Heelâ€“Face Turn, Matt O'Dare vouches for the superiority of Sunday in the Park with George.

This is even though, at the time they met, Shade was a simple, if prominent, businessman with a family who hadn't wronged Culp in any way. Then again, Culp is also Ax-Crazy, as evidenced by his own admission of having killed over 20 people long before he ever gained his Casting a Shadow abilities.

After the time energy was stolen from their bodies during Zero Hour, they all instantly aged rapidly, but Ted Knight less so than some of the others. He ought to be around eighty-something, but physically he's in his early sixties at worst. Jack also apparently looks a good deal younger than he actually is, though the difference isn't actually spelled out. Bobo Benetti notes that in his seventies, he looks like he's in his fifties, and still has the same body he had in his thirties. Mikaal Tomas doesn't seem to have changed in the past twenty years. Merritt allowed himself to age until he hit an age he felt respectable, about 40, then stopped afterward. The Shade hasn't aged a hair since the 1800s.

Decades later, after Doctor Phosphorous received a major power-up and gave him fast-acting cancer, Ted tears out a chunk of pavement with the Cosmic Rod and smashes him into the ground. Although Phosphorous is brought back in a different comic, for all intents and purposes this was clearly intended to kill him off for good. Jack kills the Mist's son during their fight by using his staff to incinerate him. Horrified, he swears never to kill again. Unfortunately, he had to kill Medphyll in self-defense. Averted with Mikaal. After getting his powers and memories back, he has no qualms about killing those who threaten innocent lives. The ghost of David Knight is taken aback by this. Adam Strange feels sick to his stomach after tricking Mr. Bodine into the above-mentioned Teleporter Accident, but they left him no choice.

Probably because of their kid. Another example is revealed to have occurred between Ted Knight and Sylvester Pemberton, the original Star-Spangled Kid and later Skyman, in the past. After Sylvester has helped to protect Opal City from the Icicle and after Ted has subsequently had another argument with his wayward son Jack, Ted asks Sylvester to take his Cosmic Rod and become the next Starman (This was during the time that David was off at college and too busy to think of being Starman and Jack simply wasn't interested). Notably, Sylvester, who had even mentioned earlier in the story that he wasn't a kid anymore and should be called Starman refuses. With Sylvester ensuring Ted that there will be another Starman one day, his reasoning seems to be that he thinks it'd be more appropriate for Jack to take on the mantle, which he eventually does years later.

Upon being corrected, Grundy shrugs and says he'll always consider Alan to be Green Lantern no matter what anyone else says.

Each time he comes Back from the Dead, he comes back with a different appearance and level of physical power, and with a different aspect of Cyrus Gold's original personality rising to the fore. Since Gold was an awful human being who enjoys using Grundy's power to hurt people, this means that kindly, gentle Grundies (like the one seen in this series), are few and far-between.

After David's death, Jack reluctantly takes on the role of Starman. The Mist intended to pass his mantle to his son Kyle, but upon Kyle's death, his daughter Nash grabs the torch for herself. In the far, far future, the mantle and history of Starman are rediscovered by Farris Knight's great-grandfather, who passes it to his son, who passes it to his daughter, who passes it to Farris who never asked for it. In the final issue, Jack passes the cosmic rod to Courtney Whitmore, who becomes Stargirl.

The issue takes place in the future, a couple of hundred years after the events recounted, so none of the storytellers have objective knowledge on what happened, though one of the stories certainly sounds more likely than the other two. "Rashomon"-Style is also used to do a little metafictional gag on DC continuity: there have been three different DC characters called "Starfire", so in each of the stories Jack and Mikaal rescue a different Starfire.

Starman (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Starman (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Etrigan appears to Ted Knight in 1944, and when the scientist in Ted refuses to believe he's a demon, Etrigan tells him of the hell he'll suffer when his involvement with the Manhattan Project bears fruition. The revelation of the supernatural might have compounded Ted's guilt and helped break him. When we get a glimpse into Barry O'Dare's POV, we see that he thinks of himself as the Only Sane Man of the family, who never takes risks and has no taste for heroism or sticking his neck out. We get to see just how different he is from the other O'Dares during the Grand Guignol arc, when he joins Culp's takeover of Opal City and kills his brother Matt. The cover of issue #17 has Charity performing a tarot reading. Jack's card is The Star, Matt O'Dare's card is The Hanged Man, reversed. The Star represents reprieve and renewed hope after a period of turmoil—Jack, after being kidnapped by Nash/Shade II and fighting his way out, has found his store, and runs into Sadie again after being dumped for good by his ex, Lucy. The Hanged Man, reversed, means that one is at a crossroads and has an opportunity to sacrifice their old outlook for something new. After receiving his vision of Scalphunter, Matt has decided to break with his dirty past, and takes the selfless action of entering Merritt's poster to try and stop its demon. The betrayal of Medphyl foreshadows the betrayal of Barry O'Dare. Both were police (or the equivalent in Medphyl's case), both turned traitor when offered power and wealth, and both express their surprise at just how easy it was for them to accept. During a conversation with his girlfriend about the different members of the O'Dare family, Jack admits that he likes pretty much all of them except maybe Barry, who never talks much. Over the course of the series, numerous people, including himself, note some of the ways that The Shade has changed over the years. He's been violent, charismatic, Ax-Crazy, goofy, well intentioned, world destroying, etc. This is mostly chalked up to the fact that he's lived such a long life and has therefore had the time to go through many different personalities and changes. While this is certainly one reason for his many changes, it also makes a bit more sense when it's revealed that he's been Sharing a Body with Simon Culp for over 30 years and that Culp has, without Shade's knowledge, been in control of their shared form at numerous points in time.

The first involves the Light, Starman's arch-enemy, stealing a time machine to go into the future and return with future tech and armored men in order to pull off unstoppable crime sprees. The other involves some pretty dense thugs using the stolen time machine to find a historical genius to be their gang leader and help them pull off better crimes. They kidnap William Shakespeare, of all people. An All-Star story involves Starman traveling 500 years into the future to help retrieve portions of a bomb defense formula. Another has him travel into the past to try and help a man redeem his life and make up for past mistakes. Starman deals with time travel linked crimes in his own series, but actually travels in time as a member of the JSA.

Mikaal Tomas the current Starman, has a body which is specifically built for outer space. In addition to being able to fly and survive in a vacuum, he can project energy blasts with his Sonic Crystal. Prince Gavyn of the Throneworld, known as Starman, used a staff which allowed him to channel his in-born power over cosmic energy to fly and fire the same stellar energy as Ted Knight utilized. Will Payton basically inherited Prince Gavyn's powers. David Knight: Starman II, used the Cosmic Rod after his father retired. Starman III (Jack Knight) and Stargirl, used Ted Knight's Cosmic Staff. Farris Knight uses the Quarvat, a mysterious device of unknown origin with amazing powers, two of which involve flight and energy projection.

Starman (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_b2279346	comment	RetCon: If you want to keep track of them all, you'll need a scorecard. Many of them were Author's Saving Throws to redeem older characters. Probably the most notable was the retconning of The Shade, an old Flash villain, who was revealed to have been not so villainous after all, and who would eventually turn into an actual hero. The reimagined Shade was so popular he got two mini-series of his own. There was also a hint from fortune-teller Charity that Jack would someday meet an old friend of his father's. The hint was originally meant to refer to Hawkman but Robinson's plans to revitalize the character in Starman were sidelined. Charity even tells Jack later that their paths have changed and he might never meet "the winged hero" after all. Sand and Stars more-or-less canonizes Sandman Mystery Theatre, and retcons out the period in which Sandman wore yellow and purple spandex. (It gets retconned back in later.)

Also averted in Mikaal's past, which he initially can't remember. He spent part of that time in the possession of a wealthy woman who used him for sex. We only get a glimpse of it, thankfully, but it's definitely presented as a violation.

He and Scott therefore fought before realizing the mistake and teaming up to track down the gang.

The Mist himself comes to realize that his life as a villain was pointless, and shares a last handshake with Ted before they die. David Knight was something of a pompous ass in life.

Then again, Culp is also Ax-Crazy, as evidenced by his own admission of having killed over 20 people long before he ever gained his Casting a Shadow abilities. The Mist doesn't kill Culp to serve any greater plan—he just really hates midgets.
