History
Courtney Whitmore is Stargirl. Courtney was born to couple that broke-up when she was only just a little kid. She remembers her mother not coming home until late and the last time she saw her father. Courtney would not be taken in by the man that her mother brought home named Pat Dugan. Courtney may not have liked Pat but her mother did, and they eventually got married. Courtney was at the wedding and when she went through his stuff she found the Cosmic Belt. Now knowing about Pat's history as an former superhero,she became Stars to annoy him. Pat would make a Mech suit to follow her around and thus the team "Stars and Stripes" were formed.Courtney did not become Stargirl until after Jack Knight gave her his Star Rod. At the end of the Stars and Stripes series Courtney jumps ahead of Pat’s mech and declares herself Stargirl. This leads us to the first appearances of the JSA. Courtney plays an important role then she did in most series. For a time she was with Captain Marvel but when Jay pressured him about being 25 and her 16 Captain Marvel choose to stop seeing Courtney rather then telling Jay the truth about his identity. Courtney would then go on to be a hidden crush of Jakeem Thunder. Courtney’s biggest love interest has been Al Rothstein or Atom Smasher. Courtney was heartbroken when Atom Smasher joined Black Reign. She didn’t trust him after that but teamed up with him to stop Per Degaton from destroying the past JSA in the Past and Present storyline which also resulted in her family being killed. This fact was however changed and they are still alive. The next major storyline was Black Vengeance when to save Khandaq, Albert sacrifices himself to Spectre. Stargirl cries about this, but the death is short lived. Black Adam saves Albert before the JSA carries him away. Albert is sent to a year in Belle Reve prison and Courtney says. ”I’ll Wait for him” Courtney then goes and attempts to help the original Liberty Belle who seemed to have lost control of her powers. Stargirl does help and later on Shade appears to tell her that her father has died. She cries into Pat’s shoulders not sure why she cares. The Gentleman Ghost storyline showed Courtney learning how to drive and she couldn’t be harmed by the Ghost because she was pure (virgin).
With the Ghost Storyline done we moved into Fifty Two when she didn’t’ appear until with the help of Atom Smasher the JSA went to save Black Adam. When they did that Black Adam goes on his Rampage and it leads us to World War Three. Stargirl was one of the attackers though she was not badly hurt.
The new series of JSA has Stargirl as more of little kid. Stargirl quickly befriends Maxine Hunkel, Aka Cyclone. Stargirl appearances have not been heavy, rather then being found out that she was Maxine's idol as well in JSA 4 when she cares for her family. Stargirl seems to regret her decision to be named Stargirl in JSA 2, referring to the fact that nobody creates her like anything but a kid. Stargirl has let to interact with Albert after World War Three and they are on two different sides of the world. Atom Smasher is looking for Teth-Adam and Courtney has lately been seen battling Superboy Prime.
In the Titans of Tomorrow storyline,Courtney is shown to have become Starwoman and joined Luthor's Titans Army.
