The Shining Knight was a member of the Justice League after the Thanagarian invasion.
History
Sir Justin, the Shining Knight, saved Merlin from the ogre Blunderbore - who turned out to be Morgaine Le Faye. In gratitude, Merlin gave Justin a magic armor and a mighty sword. In a test of Sir Justin's moral integrity, King Arthur ordered the knight to lay waste to an entire village of civilians. Seeing such a horrible demand out of character for his king, Justin disobeyed the order, passing the test.[1]
Justin lived far longer than any of the other knights. He joined the Seven Soldiers of Victory and the All-Star Squadron during World War II, and entered the Justice League during the expansion period following the Thanagarian invasion.
