I've always loved the Shining Knight. I'm glad the writers included him in the JLU cartoon....tangling things up with the Suicide Squad.

One thing about Sir Shining that always made my head scratch. He was sometimes illustrated with a shield and lance that would appear and disappear at random. I wish Thomas had addressed that in All-Star Squadron, maybe by equipping Winged Victory's saddle with a magical bottomless saddlebag or some such.Last edited by DrNewGod; 05-04-2021 at 01:47 PM.
