The knight Sir Justin was a member of the Knights of the Round Table in King Arthur's Court who was given by the wizard Merlin a magical suit of armor and sword, as well as a winged horse named Victory. During one of his adventures in Arthurian England, he became trapped in an avalanche and was buried under several feet of snow and ice, freezing him in suspended animation. He is discovered and thawed by Jason Todd during his quest around the world to become the ultimate fighter and hero. Justin joins him on his roaming later as a Justice Rebel. During his first battle with the Justice Lords Victory is slain by Hawkman. Justin vows revenge against Hawkman and now uses a pair of jet boots made for him by Steel.
