Do you think Starman is dependent on the gravity rod?
That he would be helpless without it?
We're talking about the Golden Age Starman, the hero who once defended himself against a bear by hitting it with a tiger. Starman doesn't need the gravity rod to beat the crap out of you. He'll do it with whatever objects happen to be lying around. And the more embarrassing they are the better (like Aquaman, Starman knows that it is not enough to merely defeat criminals; you must publically humiliate them).
The mundane!
The usual weapon in unusual ways!

It's delightfully disrespectful.
The sonorous!
The childish!
Whenever anyone at Joliet asked Charlie how Starman defeated him,
he'd lie and say he was hit with a tiger.

he'd lie and say he was hit with a tiger.
The ironic!
