Character Bio - Theodore Knight was heir to one of the largest fortunes in Opal City, but money and high society held no interest for Ted. Instead, Ted had always found himself drawn to the stars. An amateur astronomer and brilliant young scientist, Ted made an astonishing discovery about an unknown form of stellar radiation. Harnessing this energy, Ted developed the Gravity Rod, and later the Cosmic Rod. At first, Ted intended to use the Gravity Rod as a power source, but it was the Golden Age of costumed superheroes, and the world had other ideas in mind for Ted Knight. At the urging of his cousin, the Phantom Lady, Ted donned a costume and began fighting crime under the alias Starman. Protector of Opal City, Starman fought against and stopped villains like the Prairie Witch, Bobo Benetti, and his arch-nemesis The Mist.
Ted was one of the best and brightest of the young generation of superheroes, but after the loss of the woman he loved and his involvement with the creation of the atom bomb, Ted suffered from a nervous breakdown and hung up his tights. This was not the end of Starman though, and many others would take up the mantle in the following years, including
Charles McNider, Mikaal Tomas, and Ted's two sons, David and
Jack. It was the latter two that made Ted most proud and, even after David's unfortunate death, Ted encouraged Jack in his time as a hero. During this time, Ted turned his energies toward inventing, feeling that he could help the world in other ways. He had not seen his last adventure as Starman though. When his old nemesis, The Mist, once again threatened Opal City, Ted once again became a hero. Using a more powerful version of his Gravity Rod, Ted carried an entire skyscraper, with The Mist and his city-destroying bomb inside, up into space. Though the exertion of this killed Ted, he could rest easy, knowing that Opal City was once again safe and at least he would die closer to the things he had dedicated his life to, the stars.

- Q: Gravity Rod says that after moving a terrain piece Starman can "choose a figure adjacent to the moved terrain piece". What does it mean to be adjacent to a terrain piece?
- A: Check for adjacency between a terrain piece and a figure the same way you would check for adjacency between two figures. A single or double hex land terrain piece has a height of 1.
