Jack Knight had no powers of his own.Instead, he wielded a 'Cosmic Staff'.This staff was a device invented by Jack's father Ted, and based on the earlier 'Gravity Rod'.The staff absorbed stellar energy, which could be manipulated into defensive force fields, and offensive energy blasts of incredible power.Jack could use both powers at once, to protect himself from atmospheric damage in high velocity flight.At present, the staff is attuned to its current wielder, Stargirl, and it seems difficult to quickly change the staff's affiliation.Other media
