Courtney Whitmore is the stepdaughter of Pat Dugan a retired superhero who had operated as Stripsey while a member of The Seven Soldiers of Victory. Dugan had held onto the equipment of his former partner, The Star Spangled Kid, after the hero’s death in battle. This equipment included an anti-gravity belt that enabled flight. Young Courtney happened upon this equipment while rummaging through her step-dad’s old stuff. She then used the flying belt and a modified version of The Star Spangled Kid’s outfit to participate in his high school’s ‘spirit week’ festivities. As chance would have it the school was attacked by the minions of the villain known as The Dragon King. Aided by her step-dad, Courtney was able to use the flying belt to defeat these goons. Courtney found being a super hero to be hugely exciting and she set off to become the new Star Spangled Kid. Shortly there after, she was involved with an adventure alongside the teen hero squad, Young Justice, where they fended off an alien invasion. After being recruited into an contemporary iteration of The Justice Society, Courtney changed her super hero alias to Star Girl when she inherited the Cosmic Staff from the retiring hero Starman (Jack Knight). Actress Brec Bassinger portrays the hero in the Star Girl television series. The heroine first appeared in Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.S. #1 (1999). -- source link
