Origin
An average man, Will Payton was struck by a mysterious ray from space while on a camping trip.  Found by another camper he was believed to be dead and later woke in the morgue.

To his astonishment he had gained superhuman abilities.  Encouraged by his sister who designed a costume with a star on it for him, he reluctantly found himself playing the role of a hero.

During his first foray he found his identity when a young boy shouted "Way to go, Starman!"
