History
After his father, the original Starman, retired during Zero Hour along with the rest of the Justice Society, the Gravity Rod and heroic mantle were passed down to David as his oldest son. He was chosen over his younger brother, Jack Knight.[1]
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. [2]

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.
