* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Farris Knight, the Starman of the 853rd Century, became a jaded burnout who, while loving the perks being Starman got him, hated having to actually ''be'' Starman, feeling that a role which meant nothing to him and a legacy where had no place had been thrust upon him against his will due to being of the Knight family. Between, this, Solaris's corruption (Farris was maintaining/guarding him as part of his duties) and his own belief that he was genetically predisposed toward evil due to being descended from The Mist as well as Starman, Farris burned out, effectively feeling nothing had any meaning, so when Solaris offered him the chance to work with him, Farris agreed, because he "couldn't think of anything better to do". When his JLA went back to 1998, Farris, knowing that Jack Knight had already sired his ancestor and thus knowing that his own existence wouldn't be endangered, decided to kill Ted Knight as vengeance for starting the legacy only to find himself defending the old man against an attack from Deathbolt. The two of them spoke after the villain was defeated, with Farris telling Ted some details about the future, but eventually Farris could take it no longer and lashed out angrily at the old man, talking about how miserable he had become due to his legacy and of his plans secretly to murder Ted. Ted tells him that even though he's not proud of what Farris is doing right now, he's proud ''who he'' '''is''', and begs him to accept the good in his heart as well as the evil. The light in Ted's eyes when he spoke about Starman and his legacy, in an era where being Starman was new and meaningful changed something in his descendant, leading Farris ultimately sacrificing his life to stop Solaris in the Twentieth Century]].
