Steven Sharpe III

Steven Sharpe III became the Gambler, a costumed villain whose family legacy of ruinous gambling debts inspired him to embrace a life of crime. Armed with trick weapons styled around gambling motifs, he repeatedly clashed with the Golden Age Green Lantern, Alan Scott.

A figure rooted in DC lore, Steven Sharpe III made his first documented appearance in the pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe in 1985 — that landmark Bronze Age reference series that codified decades of DC mythology — placing him squarely in the company of legends like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Batman. With appearances spanning nearly three decades across titles like Starman and DC Universe: Legacies, he's the kind of character who quietly threads through the broader tapestry of DC history, sharing pages even with The Gambler. Rare in the catalog but resonant for those who dig deep, Steven Sharpe III is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love unearthing the corners of the DC Universe that reward a little curiosity.
