History
The Gravity Rod is a small handheld device that can harness the power of the stars and convert it itno energy that enables the wielder to defy the laws of gravity. It can also discharge a blast of concentrated solar radiation. The Gravity Rod was first designed in the 1940s by scientist Ted Knight, who used it as a weapon during the years he spent as the first Starman. The rod was briefly passed down to his first son David, but his career was cut short after he was brutally murdered by agents of the Mist. A prototype version of the Gravity Rod, commonly referred to as the Cosmic Rod was given to Ted's youngest son Jack. Jack used the rod throughout his career as Starman until the day that he retired to raise a family. He passed the Cosmic Rod along to Courtney Whitmore who, in honor of those who came before her, changed her code name to Stargirl.
