Theodore Knight (New Earth-Two)

Early Years
Ted Knight was an Opal City Native, who had a passion for inventing and enjoyed all forms of science, with his favorite being Astrology. Knight start his superhero career in his early twenties after inheriting his Grandfather's Observatory outside of Opal City, where he spent most of his time studied the stars. During this time Knight began tinkering with the idea of harnessing the power of the stars and using it to help mankind. That idea eventually evolved into what he call a Gravity Rod, a device that absorbs the light from the stars and converted it into energy that allowed Knight to use it to levitate himself and other objects, blast energy from it, and create a force field. Before he could reveal his invention to the public, Ted's home was broken into by a group of burglars who came to his home believing that they would find chemicals to make drugs. They would eventually lock Knight in his lab, but failed to take his Gravity Rod from him. Knight, upon being left alone then proceeded to use the Gravity Rod to blast the door away and scare off the burglars. After making the burglars flee, Ted began to consider using the Gravity Rod to protect people directly, believing that if he revealed the device to the public people would take advantage of it and use it for evil. After much personal debate over the matter, Knight decided he would use the Gravity Rod to protect people as a masked vigilant and would become the Hero of Opal City. Knight would quickly develop an armored costume and would take the alias of Starman.

Knight would be continue to operate as Starman for years, where he fought enemies such as Mist, Icicle, The Shade, and Ragdoll. As the years passed, Knight would eventually meet and marry Adele Doris Drew and have to sons, David Knight and Jack Knight. Even with a family, Ted would continue operating as Starman, but would eventually slow down after his wife died of a heart attack.
