Starman? Yeah, I look at him with awe and wonder. Awe that Davey has the guts to go out in that stupid costume, and wonder how many people are going to fall down laughing at the sight of him. 
History
Shortly following the events of Zero Hour, the retired superhero, Ted Knight offered his Gravity Rod to his oldest son, David, choosing him as a suitable successor to carry on the name of Starman.
David was eager to make a name for himself as Opal City's new protector. The sensation of power was intoxicating to him, and he swore to bring honor to his father's legacy. In his brief career, David foiled a mugging, a car theft and a drug deal. While patrolling the city one evening, a man known as Kyle - the son of Ted Knight's arch-nemesis, the Mist, shot and killed David with a shot from a sniper rifle. [1]
Paraphernalia
Weapons
Gravity Rod: The Gravity Rod was a small hand-held wand-shaped device that could harness solar energy and reconfigure it into concentrated beams of light. As it's name implies, the Gravity Rod also granted its wielder the power of flight. David's Gravity Rod was of similar design to that first used by his father during the 1940's.
Trivia
- Although it was initially believed that Ted favored David over Jack, it was later revealed that he secretly wanted Jack to inherit the mantle of Starman, not David.
