COURTNEY WHITMORE/STARGIRL & JACK KNIGHT/STARMAN in JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA (2022)
Starman (Volume 2) #80 (Signed by James Robinson at the 2025 Baltimore Comic Con)
Got any head cannons on golden age supervillains like The Mist,Ragdoll, The Fiddler, or Shade
Ive said my thoughts on ragdoll before, but not the others so here we go. First off, I like to imagine these guys in particular (except Mist) are all old dudes. Enemies to the Justice Society and people like Jay Garricks Flash. Now my personal thought on Mist which may be controversial is to give him the rough storyline of Ian Peek from Batman Beyond, stealing a belt that eventually makes him uncontrollably intangible. I also hot take kinda want him to work with Livewire. Maybe as the guy who gets some dirty gossip for her show Fiddler I think is basically a miserable old retired ex supervillain at this point, dude probably lives in Florida and complains that the modern villains "just dont do it like they used to" Particularly gets really mad at villains like RIddler and Music Meister for what he claims to be "stealing his gig" If he had a reliable way to become young again, he would immediately go back to crime but instead he now sits in his Condo. to me Shade is just a deeply depressed, nihilistic immortal man. No spark for conquest like Vandal Savage or Ra's, he just lives. Randomly decides if he wants to help villains or heroes. If you ever saw WWDITS, think how the Vampires are willing to fall asleep for hundreds of years if theyre upset. Thats him to me
Why Kyle Knight said: "I'm sorry, Cosmo" in JSA 2022
Cosmo obviously refers to the Cosmic Rod, the main weapon his father (Jack Knight), grandfather (Ted Knight), and Uncle (David Knight) all used when they were Starman. His father later gave it to Courtney Whitmore (Star Girl)
I think that at some point, Cosmo was given to Kyle by Courtney, possibly so that he could become Starman.
I have two more theories
Cosmo was destroyed at some point. Possibly due to something that he had done or something that he considers to be his fault (mission gone wrong, some kind of accident, etc etc).
He sold Cosmo and regretted it but couldn't buy it back.
I'm leaning more towards that it was destroyed at some point and that it couldn't be replaced for whatever reason.
These reasons (alongside the powers he'd inherited from his mother, Mist) could be why he joined the JSA, a team that was primarily made up of former villains, despite the fact that he came from a well-known superhero family that traced back to the 1930s.
Way to go, Court.
Jack Knight in Justice Society of America (2022) #12, in flashback and at Courtney's graduation.
clearly the cool kids' corner
1. Why would he ever take the name of his rapist murderer mother who, first of all- called him Ted too, geoff.
2. Nash was killed when Teddy Knight was 1 year old, he was raised by Sadie and Jack.
3. Just hate the implication that because he has a villainous parent he's automatically 'bad' and threatens murder too??
4. Jack left Opal to raise him and his daughter with Sadie. this feels like a huge slap in the face to the Starman ending.
idk here's teddy being cute & also check out my design for him as Starman : https://lesbianbrainwave.tumblr.com/post/702357239972937728/this-was-done-a-bit-ago-by-flxshallens-on-twitter
