Star Lass

Heroic Name: Star Lass

Real Name: Theresa Knight

Nickname: Terry, StarEyes

Age: 18

Appearance: a darkhaired beauty, quite short, wearing a black bodysuit that seemed to shimmer like a night sky full of stars. When she flies, she lives behind a sparkling golden trail.

Powers: The Cosmic Rod. She can generate a shimmering golden force field which can create various effects, she can fly, and she can increase and decrease the weight of things. Heat beam, laser, personal energy shield. Most of her powers come from the Cosmic Rod but the weight control powers are natural. The Cosmic Rod absorbs the Cosmic Background Energy as a power source.

Theresa also has possession of one of Ted Knight's original Gravity Rods. She has not made use of it yet; she isn't sure if there is anything the Gravity Rod can do that her Cosmic Rod cannot do. The Gravity Rod does use a different power source, however.

History: She is a physicist and descendent of Ted Knight. She has a Cosmic Rod surgically implanted in her body. Her weightcontrol powers are natural; perhaps she is a mutation due to her family's long association with the Cosmic Rod. She is currently the most powerful member of the Legion. One of her greataunts was Tracy Knight, who fled the Utopian States of America in a homemade spaceship, to escape the death penalty for nopayment of taxes. Tracy used Cosmic Rod power her ship. She wandered the star lanes for some 40 years, and she and her crew, a gathering a crew of other wanderers and misfits, became legendary as the Wanderers. The Wanderers built the asteroid base called Knight Base.

Knight Base was a legend in the Knight family, and finding it had been an obsession for Theresa. And she is the one who did find it.

Theresa's grandfather was killed in a flier 'accident' that was arranged by Amgov

Theresa teaches exotic physics at the Legion Academy

Comments: Comments: During the battle against Savage and his minions in Limbo, Theresa wore Green Lantern's Power Ring, which Greenfire loaned her. However, the magical Starheart energy used in the Power Ring is incompatible with the 'scientific' Cosmic energy used by the Cosmic Rod. After some hours in close contact, they start to react against each other, and the longer they are in this close contact, the more violent the reaction would become. So Theresa can't wear the Power Ring for more than an hour or so.
