History:
Sir Justin was new to the court of King Arthur at Camelot in the 6th Century A.D. when a knight named Sir Fallon was gravely wounded by a giant ogre named Blunderbore. King Arthur chose Sir Justin to rid the frozen Northland of the ogre.

On his journey northward, Sir Justin was confronted by two outlaws in the Forest Perilous. While pursuing the outlaws, Sir Justin accidentally stabbed a tree with his lance, thereby releasing the wizard Merlin, who had been magically imprisoned within the tree by a sorceress.

Merlin magically transformed Sir Justin’s armor, making it lighter and bulletproof, and giving it a shining gold color. Merlin also enchanted Sir Justin’s sword and magically gave the knight’s steed, Victory, wings. Sir Justin renamed the horse Winged Victory.

In the Northland Sir Justin mortally wounded Blunderbore, but the dying ogre kicked the knight and his steed off a mountainside. There was an avalanche of ice, burying Sir Justin and Winged Victory, casting them into suspended animation.

The mountain of ice eventually broke apart, and in 1941 a museum curator named Dr. Moresby found the portion containing Sir Justin and Winged Victory floating off the New England coast. Moresby released the two captives, who revived, and brought them to New York City. There Moresby gave the knight the new identity of Justin Arthur, his assistant. Soon thereafter, Sir Justin, in his knightly garb, captured criminals who had robbed the museum. Sir Justin decided to dedicate himself to fighting evil in his new time period as the Shining Knight, and became a member of both the Seven Soldiers of Victory and the wartime All-Star Squadron.

Some years later, the forces unleashed by the Seven Soldiers’ battle with the Nebula-Man hurled Sir Justin and Winged Victory back to the time of Genghis Khan. Superman, the original Sandman, and Metamorpho brought the Knight and his steed, little older than they had been when they fought the Nebula-Man, back to their rescuers’ own time.

The Shining Knight has returned on occasion to his native time period and Camelot. His current whereabouts and activities are unknown.

Powers:
The Shining Knight is a master of the arts of combat of Arthurian times. Wearing his enchanted bulletproof armor and wielding his enchanted sword, the Shining Knight can cut through almost anything and can resist magical attack. His steed, Winged Victory, can fly.
