Starman

A late-blooming Modern Age figure from DC Comics, this Starman stepped into the spotlight in 2001 under the guiding hands of James Robinson, David Goyer, and Peter Snejbjerg — arriving near the close of one of DC's most celebrated runs bearing that storied name. With appearances spread across Starman, Adventure Comics, and Countdown to Final Crisis, the character moves through some genuinely consequential corners of the DC Universe, sharing pages with heavyweights like Superman, Clark Kent, The Flash, and Green Lantern, as well as the intriguing Thom Kallor. Fifteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but this Starman occupies meaningful real estate in Modern Age DC continuity, touching epic, universe-spanning storylines that reward the dedicated reader who tracks them down.
