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.

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.
