1) STARMAN
Targeted by the daughter of one of his father’s foes, Jack Knight didn’t know that she has used him to father a child. Their clashes ended with both her and Jack’s father (the original Starman) dead, Opal City devastated and Jack ready to give up the mantle. Handing his cosmic staff to fellow JSAer Courtney Whitmore (whom you may remember from our #10 entry as Stripesy’s step-daughter), Jack took custody of his son and moved to the West Coast to raise the boy in normalcy. Though I miss seeing him in action with the JSA, it is probably the most selfless and noble decision of his storied superhero career.
Thanks to Faithful Spoilerite William Schneider (@the_wrs) for this week’s topic. Feel free to follow along @MightyKingCobra for more Ten Things madness on Twitter or check out the full archive here! As with any set of like items, these aren’t meant to be hard and fast or absolutely complete, but given that most character developments in comics are immediately nullified and reversed, it may be harder than you think to add more…
Either way, the comments section is Below for just such an emergency, but, as always: Please, no wagering!
