The Cosmic Rod

History
The Cosmic Rod is an otherworldly staff forged by Prince Gavyn of Kranaltine, most commonly referred to as the throneworld. The rod was originally created to be a weapon that would be given to Kranaltinian soldiers in war. Although, the forging of any other Cosmic Rod was stopped by the rest of the Crown Imperia. From then on the rod was stashed away.

Then, when Kranaltine was being attacked relentlessly by a neighboring planet, Prince Gavyn was able to retrieve the Cosmic Rod from his Kranaltinian palace, yet in the midst of battle the Rod was taken from the prince and stolen by an enemy, but before the enemy could escape on their ship, a large battle for the Rod forced them to drop it from the ship and retreat.

The Rod would fall all the way to Earth, eventually landing in Europe, where it would send a large energy wave, sending down a plane that was flying where it fell. The plane then fell down next to the staff, where it would be found by U.S. Air Force Pilot, Ted Knight. Knight would then take the rod and used it to become the hero Starman.

The Rod would later be passed down to Ted's son, Jack Knight. Who would use it to become the second Starman.

Trivia

 * Prince Gavyn is based off Prince Gavyn, a different person who took up the identity of Starman in DC Comics.
 * The Cosmic Rod in the comics is a new version of the Gravity Rod, but in the case of Earth-81, the Cosmic Rod came first, with a duplicate being made later, which is based off the Gravity Rod.
 * The neighboring planet that attacked Kranaltine was actually Talok III, the home of Ted Knight's future son Mikaal Tomas.
