Mason O'Dare

Mason O'Dare is an Opal City police officer and one of the city's most dedicated cops, appearing in James Robinson's noir-tinged Starman series alongside hero Jack Knight. He is part of the O'Dare family, a clan with deep ties to Opal City law enforcement.

Opal City has always needed good cops, and Mason O'Dare is one of the finest to walk its streets. Debuting in James Robinson and Tony Harris's acclaimed Starman #1 in 1994, Mason is a fixture of one of DC's most beloved Modern Age series, sharing pages with Jack Knight, the enigmatic Richard Swift, and fellow O'Dare Hope across a run that stretched a remarkable sixteen years. A character rooted in the rich, noir-tinged world Robinson built around Opal City, Mason represents the human heart of a cosmos-spanning saga — proof that sometimes the most compelling figures in a superhero universe are the ones keeping the peace at street level.
