The most deserving successor to Jack Knight who’s ever been created. And coming from me, that’s saying something.
Courtney Whitmore was a typical fifteen-year-old girl in Blue Valley. She had recently moved in with her new stepfather, Pat Dugan. But when she discovered Pat’s former secret identity as Stripesy, adult partner to teen hero The Star-Spangled Kid, Court stole Pat’s former partner’s cosmic converter belt and took up crime-fighting to bother him.
When Pat unveiled a giant armor suit and took the codename S.T.R.I.P.E. he and Courtney teamed up as heroes. Eventually, Courtney was offered a spot on the new incarnation of the Justice Society, alongside at-the-time Starman Jack Knight. When Jack retired, he gave his cosmic rod to Courtney and asked her to take up his legacy.
She did, and did the history of the Starmen and women proud, acting as one of the best and quite literally brightest in the JSA.
