Starman (Ted Knight) is a member of the Justice Society Of America. He first appeared in Adventure Comics #61 in 1941. Ted uses a gravity rod which allows him to fly and manipulate energy. He is an astronomer and a great scientist. He developed the rod himself! Ted doesn’t have any natural, superhero abilities. All his superpowers come from his rod. Ted can manipulate some form of stellar radiation through the rod. As the First Starman, he can fly, send outbursts of energy, light and heat. He can create fields and make objects fly. The Cosmic rod also creates a bond between Ted and itself which allows him to summon it when he is separated from it!
