Prince Gavyn of Kranaltine, aka Throneworld, the fourth (or fifth, or sixth depending on how you count it; it's kinda complicated) hero in the DC Universe to take up the Starman moniker.

He made his first appearance in Adventure Comics (vol. 1) #467 (January, 1980). Interestingly, Adventure Comics is where the original Starman of the Golden Age, Ted Knight, made his first appearance, in issue #61 (April, 1941).

I like Gavyn's original costume as designed by artist Steve Ditko. Later on, during his short span of stories, he would get a new costume, which consisted of a dark blue bodysuit with a gold star emblazoned on his chest. Pretty darn bland if you ask me.

By 1985's Crisis On Infinite Earths the character had been pretty much forgotten. He was killed off in a single panel appearance in that series, as were so many others.

Gavyn was resurrected post-Crisis when it was revealed that his energy/powers were the bolt from the sky that struck Earthman Will Payton, turning him into the next Starman. After several years, it was revealed that Payton had Gavyn's memories, and eventually he took on Gavyn's appearance and became a space faring superhero again.

That didn't last long, though. Sometime during the Rann-Thanagar: Holy War (2008-2009) miniseries Gavyn was transformed into the villain Fusion. I found that series, along with most of the work that Jim Starlin wrote at DC, to be pretty forgettable, so I don't know if Gavyn "got better."

DC brought Will Payton back to life, complete with a whole new power source, in Dark Nights: Metal (2017-18). To my knowledge, they haven't really done anything with the character since.

If they can do that, they can bring back Prince Gavyn as well. It would be fun to have him soaring through the space ways again, trying to deal with the mess that is the nascent United Planets, as well as the reorganization (for the 47th time, by my count) of the Green Lantern Corps.

Somehow this ended up forgetting to post this one despite making it ages ago, but here is an edit I did a while ago of Liam Rys as the Prince Gavyn version of Starman

The starman legacy is gigantic.

I always knew that the starman legacy was big but never really sat down to just count it you know? So today I did and holy shit it's fucking infinite, like it's not just a bunch of dudes going by starman and associates.

It's more like starman + phantom lady + star-spangled kid + girl of 1000 gimmicks/gimmic girl/gimmix?? + Manhuter + martian manhunter + brainwave + mist.

Here's the list of superheroes and btw this is by legacy and not family ties:

1) Ted knight - starman I

2) Sylvester Pemberton - star-spangled kid I, skyman I

3) Sandra Knight - phantom lady I

4) Dan Richards - manhunter I

5) Paul Kirk - manhuter II

6) Roh Kar - martian manhunter I

7) Arnold Munro - iron Munro I, gladiator one

8) Pat Dugan - Stripesy I , S.T.R.I.P.E I

9) Merry Pemberton - girl of 1000 gimmicks I

10) Doris Lee - starman II

11) The starman of 1951 - starman III

12) Mikaal Tomas - starman IV

13) Prince Gavyn - starman V

14) Henry King Jr - brainwave jr, brainwave II

15) Mark Shaw - manhuter III

16) Will Payton - starman VI

17) David knight - starman VII

18) Dee Tyler - phantom lady II

19) Jack Knight - starman VIII

20) Chase Lawer - manhunter VI

21) J'onn j'onzz - martian manhunter II

22) Courtney Whitemore - star-spangled kid II, star girl I, starwoman I (IX)

23) Stormy Knight - Phantom lady III

24) Jacqueline Pemberton - Gimmic girl, gimmix

25) Jennifer knight - phantom lady IV

26) Kirk DePaul - manhuter V

27) Kate Spencer - manhuter VI

28) M'gann M'orzz - miss martian, martian manhunter III

29) Jacob Colby - skyman II

30) Mike Dugan - Stripesy II, S.T.R.I.P.E II

31) Sophia Becker - Phantom lady V

32) Patricia Dugan - starwoman II (X)

33) Ramsey Robinson - manhuter VII

34) Kyle knight - mist III

35) Thom Kallor - Starboy - starman XI

36) Farris Knight - starman XII

12 starmans, 7 manhunters, 5 phantom ladies, 3 martian manhunters, 2 gimmic girls, 2 S.T.R.I.P.ES, 2 skymans, 2 star-spangled kids, 1 brainwave, 1 iron Munro and 1 mist.

I say only superheroes because a lot of these people have supervillain relatives, it's also interesting to note that this the oldest super powered lineage in DC because Ramsey Robinson is the great-great-grandson of Hugo Munro the protagonist of the 1930 novel called Gladiator (one of the inspirations for superman) by Philip Wylie.
