    '''Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore''' is the daughter of [[Sam Kurtis (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sam Kurtis]] and [[Barbara Whitmore (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Barbara Whitmore]], the step-daughter of [[Patrick Dugan (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Pat Dugan]], and the step-sister of [[Mike Dugan (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Mike Dugan]].
    '''Courtney "Court" Elizabeth Whitmore'''<ref name="Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite"/> is the vigilante known as '''Stargirl''' and the leader of the [[Justice Society of America (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Justice Society of America]].

    Whitmore discovered the [[Cosmic Staff (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cosmic Staff]] in one of Dugan's boxes while arriving in [[Blue Valley (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley]] and successfully ignited the light within the staff. She soon began to train with the staff behind Dugan's back and ignored his instructions not to tamper with it. As Dugan predicted, Whitmore attracted the attention of [[Henry King Sr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Brainwave]], who thought that Whitmore was the new [[Sylvester Pemberton (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Starman]] and attacked her. Thankfully, Dugan was able to rescue Whitmore in his [[S.T.R.I.P.E. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|robotic armor]] and brought her to safety, before telling her the dangers of being a [[:Category:Vigilantes|vigilante]] and the stories of the [[Justice Society of America (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Justice Society of America]].

    Initially reluctant to bring her step-daughter into danger, Dugan had no choice but ask for Whitmore's help to investigate the [[Injustice Society of America (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Injustice Society of America's]] presence in Blue Valley while Whitmore began operating as '''Stargirl'''. After her confrontation with [[Jordan Mahkent (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Icicle]], Whitmore was traumatized by the death of [[Joey Zarick (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Joey Zarick]] and was brought to the [[JSA Headquarters (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|JSA Headquarters]]. Unbeknownst to Dugan, Whitmore stole [[Ted Grant (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Wildcat]], [[Rex Tyler (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Hourman]], [[Charles McNider (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Doctor Mid-Nite]], [[Alan Scott (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Green Lantern]] and [[John Thunder (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Johnny Thunder's]] equipment, hoping to recreate the [[Golden Age of Heroes (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Golden Age]] team with her friends. The new JSA then battled [[Lawrence Crock (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sportsmaster]] and [[Paula Brooks (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Tigress]] until Dugan declared that he had no choice but to work with the teenagers against the ISA.

    A year after defeating the ISA, Whitmore insisted in looking out for trouble despite her teammates' reluctance. Her actions as Stargirl soon backfired and resulted in her decline in academic performance, forcing her to attend summer school. However, the JSA soon discovered that the [[Richard Swift (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Shade]] had arrived in Blue Valley in search of the [[Black Diamond (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Black Diamond]] and battled [[Cynthia Burman (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cindy Burman's]] [[Injustice Unlimited (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Injustice Unlimited]]. The battle at [[Blue Valley High School (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley High]] was halted when Shade demanded Cindy to hand out the diamond. Unfortunately, she ignored the demands and warnings and allowed [[Eclipso (Shadowlands)|Eclipso]] to takeover her body. Whitmore then accidentally destroyed the diamond and liberated Eclipso from imprisonment, releasing a threat that she had never faced before. Eclipso's manipulation soon led to the JSA slowly falling apart and forced Whitmore to pick up the broken pieces with Dugan, teaming up with former allies and enemies against The Devil in the Shadows.

    Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore<ref name="Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite"/> was born in 2004 in [[Valley Village (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Valley Village]], [[California (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|California]] to [[Barbara Whitmore (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Barbara Whitmore]] and [[Sam Kurtis (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sam Kurtis]].<ref name="Stargirl">{{Ep|Stargirl}}</ref>
    Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore was born in 2004 in [[Valley Village (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Valley Village]], [[California (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|California]] to [[Barbara Whitmore (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Barbara Whitmore]] and [[Sam Kurtis (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sam Kurtis]]. During her childhood, she lived in an [[Whitmore Apartment (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|apartment]] with her mother and had limited contact with her father.<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    On December 25, 2009, her father visited her for Christmas, where they sang Christmas carols such as "Frosty" and made a snowman out of styrofoam. He then gave her a locket that was given to him by his [[Mrs. Kurtis (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|mother]] which had a picture of himself in it, so she would always remember him.<ref name="Shining Knight">{{Ep|Shining Knight}}</ref>
    On December 25, 2009, Courtney was visited by her father for Christmas, and they spent the day together singing Christmas carols, such as "[[Wikipedia:Frosty the Snowman|Frosty the Snowman]]", and making a snowman out of styrofoam. He then gave her a [[Lockets (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|locket]], previously belonging to his [[Mrs. Kurtis (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|mother]], with a picture of himself inside so that she would always remember him.<ref name="Shining Knight">{{Ep|Shining Knight}}</ref> At some point, Whitmore also became best friends with [[Mary Kramer (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)|Mary Kramer]].<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    [[File:Courtney Whitmore (Earth-2) (New Multiverse) 004.png|250px|left|thumb|Waiting for her Father]]
    On December 24, 2010, Whitmore and Barbara were waiting in their [[Barbara Whitmore's Apartment (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)|apartment]] for Sam to arrive, as he was meant to look after her while Barbara went to work. However, Sam did not arrive and Whitmore was left with their neighbor, [[Maggie Kramer (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)|Maggie Kramer]], who looked after her until her mother returned. This led to Whitmore and Barbara believing that Kurtis had abandoned them.<ref name="Stargirl"/>
    On December 24, 2010, Barbara and Courtney waited for hours for her father to arrive at their apartment so that Barbara could go to work, with Courtney intending to give him a mug reading "World's Best Dad". However, he never arrived and so Courtney was looked after by their neighbor, [[Maggie Kramer (Earth-2: Pre-Crisis)|Maggie Kramer]], until her mother returned home. After this, Courtney did not see her father again for almost a decade.


    At some point after this, Whitmore became a blue belt in karate<ref name="Stargirl"/> and a student at [[Sherman High (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sherman High]], where she joined the gymnastics team.<ref name="Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite"/>
    At some point during her childhood, Whitmore also became a blue belt in karate and began attending [[Sherman High School (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Sherman High School]], where she joined the gymnastics team and won several awards.<ref name="Summer School: Chapter Eleven"/>

    In 2018, Barbara Whitmore returned to her hometown of [[Blue Valley (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley]], [[Nebraska (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Nebraska]] to sell her [[Mrs. Whitmore (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|mother's]] home. During this trip, she went to [[Richie's Diner (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Richie's Diner]], where she met [[Patrick Dugan (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Pat Dugan]]. The pair later got married at some point before 2020, with Dugan becoming Whitmore's step-father.<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    ===Moving to Blue Valley===
    ===Moving to Blue Valley===
    [[File:Mary Kramer (Earth-2) (New Multiverse) 001.png|250px|right|thumb|Saying Goodbye to Mary]]
    In 2020, Whitmore began to pack up the contents of her bedroom in preparation for the families move to Blue Valley when she came across a gift that she had got her father for Christmas ten years prior. She dusted the box off before placing it with the rest of her belongings, at which point [[Mary Kramer (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Mary Kramer]] entered the room and the pair said their goodbyes. She then brought the boxes down to the moving van and the family got into Dugan's car, where Whitmore took one last look at her home before beginning the drive to Nebraska.
    After Barbara married [[Patrick Dugan (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Pat Dugan]], the two decided to move their family to her hometown of [[Blue Valley (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley]]. In 2020, Courtney was packing her belongings when she came across the present that she had intended to give to her father years prior, dusting it off before quickly placing it in a box. She then said goodbye to Mary, brought the last of her belongings down to the moving van, and got in the car before the family began their long drive to Blue Valley. Upon arriving, the family briefly looked at their new [[Whitmore/Dugan Residence (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|home]], before deciding to go to [[Richie Rock's Diner (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Ritchie Rock's Diner]] for something to eat.


    The next morning, Pat drove Courtney to her first day at [[Blue Valley High School (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley High School]] and attempted to strike up a conversation, but she ignored him and kept texting. After entering the school, Whitmore went to see one of the [[Patterson (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|guidance counselor's]] to have her picture taken for her student ID and to enquire about joining the gymnastics team. However, she was told that the gymnastics team no longer exists due to [[The American Dream (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|American Dream]]'s recalibration of the school's extracurricular activities and that she should join the cheerleading team instead. After being given her student ID, Whitmore went out into the hallway and was approached by [[Cynthia Burman (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cindy Burman]] and [[Jenny Williams (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Jenny Williams]], who also insisted that she join the cheerleading team, though she politely declined.
    The family eventually arrived in Blue Valley to their new [[Whitmore/Dugan Residence (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|home]], where Whitmore stared at a box in the moving van that was labelled as auto parts. They then decided to head into town to find somewhere to eat, where they come across the diner where Dugan and Barbara met. Whitmore then asked why Dugan was in Nebraska, to which he responded that he was looking for something.


    [[File:Rick Tyler (Earth-2) (New Multiverse) 003.png|250px|left|thumb|Making Friends]]
    The next morning, Dugan drove Whitmore to [[Blue Valley High School (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley High School]] in [[Sylvester Pemberton (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Starman's]] old [[Star-Rocket Racer (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|car]]. During the ride, she was texting Mary about how much she missed her which Dugan noticed, and so he attempted to start a conversation with her about the value of friends, but Whitmore ignored him and continued texting. Once they arrived, Dugan wished her a good day, which only further annoyed Whitmore as she walked inside. She made her way to the office to have a photo taken for her school ID where she asked Mrs. [[Patterson (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Patterson]] about joining the gymnastic team only to be told that it no longer exists due to the extracurricular activities having been recalibrated by [[The American Dream (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|American Dream]] for optimal participation and that she should try out for cheerleading instead.
    ⚫
    During her lunch period, Whitmore was looking for a seat in the cafeteria when she was directed to the "losers table" by [[Paula Brooks (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Paula Brooks]]. She then introduced herself to fellow students [[Beth Chapel (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Beth Chapel]], [[Rick Tyler (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Rick Harris]], and [[Yolanda Montez (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Yolanda Montez]] and attempted to start a conversation, but was interrupted by [[Henry King Jr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Henry King Jr.]], who had come to harass Montez about nude pictures she had sent him when she was his girlfriend. Whitmore attempted to defend Montez and had her phone taken by King as a result, prompting her to push him back, accidentally knocking him into a cafeteria lady. This resulted in her being taken to detention by [[Anaya Bowin (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Principle Bowin]] and her subsequently missing the bus home.<ref name="Stargirl"/>

    Whitmore then leaves the office into the hallway, where she is approached by [[Cynthia Burman (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cindy Burman]] and [[Jenny Williams (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Jenny Williams]]. Cindy suggested that Whitmore should join the cheerleading team as she is in need of a new second, but Whitmore rejects this offer and so Cindy walks away.

    During her lunch period, Whitmore was looking for a seat when [[Paula Brooks (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Paula Brooks]] approaches her and directs her to the "losers" table where she meets [[Beth Chapel (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Beth Chapel]], [[Rick Tyler (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Rick Tyler]] and [[Yolanda Montez (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Yolanda Montez]]. [[Henry King Jr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Henry King Jr.]] then approached the table and began bullying Yolanda by calling her a slut and asking if she has any more pictures to share with them. Whitmore jumps in to defend Yolanda and so Henry takes her phone, which causes her to push him back and into a cafeteria lady. [[Anaya Bowin (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Principle Bowin]] notices this and takes Whitmore to detention, which causes her to miss the bus, so she has to walk home.<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    ===Discovering the Cosmic Staff===
    ===Discovering the Cosmic Staff===
    [[File:Stargirl 001.png|250px|right|thumb|Courtney and the Cosmic Staff]]
    Whitmore then walks home, past Richie Rock's Diner, where she is greeted by Barbara for dinner. Whitmore, Barbara and Dugan then have a conversation about what to do that evening before Whitmore tells Dugan to stop acting like her father and storms off to the basement. Once there, she kicks over a box of Dugan's stuff only to two pictures, one with him as Stripesy with the [[Sylvester Pemberton (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Star-Spangled Kid]] and the other a picture of the golden age [[Justice Society of America (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Justice Society of America]]. She then notices a box with a glowing object inside of it and opens it to discover the [[Cosmic Staff (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cosmic Staff]], which she picks up and examines before it drags her to American Dream building, where she preforms a gymnastics routine before being flown to a drive-in theater.
    While walking home, Whitmore passed by Ritchie's and briefly looked inside, seeing a young girl and her father ordering something to eat. Once home, she ate dinner with her family until Pat asked what she had planned that for that evening, causing her to tell him to stop acting like her father. She then stormed off to the basement, where she kicked over a box of Pat's items, revealing an image of him dressed as Stripesy and an image of the [[Justice Society of America (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Justice Society of America]]. She then discovered a glowing object in a nearby crate, opening it to reveal the [[Cosmic Staff (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Cosmic Staff]]. After examining the staff, she grabbed it whilst it was in mid-air, and it took her to [[The American Dream Tower (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|The American Dream Tower]] for training. After a brief gymnastics routine, the staff flew her to the [[Blue Valley Drive-In (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley Drive-In]], where she witnessed Henry King Jr. and two of his friends harassing [[Josh Hamman (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Josh Hamman]] by vandalizing his [[Josh Hamman's Mother (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|mother's]] car. Deciding to teach them a lesson, she went to let the air out of King's [[Henry King Sr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|father's]] car tires, but was spotted by one of his friends, resulting in a fight that ended with the staff blowing the car up.


    [[File:Courtney Whitmore (Earth-2) (New Multiverse) 003.png|250px|left|thumb|Vigilantism]]
    She then noticed Henry King Jr., [[Brian Tanner Balloid (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Brian Tanner Balloid]] and [[Travis Thomas (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Travis Thomas]] harassing [[Josh Hamman (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Josh Hamman]] by vandalizing his [[Josh Hamman's Mother (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|mother's]] car. Whitmore then decided to teach them a lesson by puncturing Henry's father's [[Henry King Sr.'s Car (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|car]] with the cosmic staff, but is noticed by the boys and a fight ensued. The staff then proceeded to knock out all three opponents before firing a blast that blew up the car, which caused Whitmore to run away.
    Whitmore then ran home to put the staff back, but was confronted by Pat, who explained that it was too dangerous to be let out of its crate. He then explained that the staff belonged to his partner [[Sylvester Pemberton (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Starman]] until he died alongside the rest of the Justice Society ten years prior on Christmas Eve, and that the staff was only supposed to work for him. This made Whitmore believe that Pemberton was her father as he had also vanished that night, and it was the only plausible explanation for why the staff also worked for her. Despite Dugan trying to convince her otherwise, Whitmore went upstairs to ask her mother whether her father was a superhero, but was told that he was not and that he had abandoned them. Later that day, Whitmore met Dugan on the porch, where he told her more about his former identity as Stripesy and his association with Starman and the Justice Society, before asking her to keep this a secret from her mother, which she did. She then went to bed, but was soon awoken by the Cosmic Staff flying into her room. As this caused her to scream, Barbara came to her room to check on her, and they then had a conversation about Courtney giving Pat a chance before saying goodnight.<ref name="Stargirl"/>

    She returned to her home to put the staff back in the basement when she was confronted by Dugan, who told her that the staff was too dangerous to be outside of its crate. Whitmore asked for an explanation about the origin of the staff and Dugan explained to her how the JSA died to save the world ten years prior, with Whitmore coming to the conclusion that Starman must have been her father because her father never came to visit her on the exact same night. She then went upstairs to ask her mother if this was the case, but she was cut off by Barbara, explaining that her father was not a superhero and had abandoned them.

    Whitmore then went to meet Dugan on the porch, where he told her more about his history within the JSA and how he met Starman, before asking her not to tell her mother. She agreed to keep his secret if he stayed out of her way, but was convinced otherwise by Pat.

    She then went to bed, but was awoken by the cosmic staff opening her door. This caused her to scream, which was heard by Barbara, who yelled to ask if she was okay. Whitmore quickly put the staff under her bed before Barbara entered her room and asked what was the matter, with her saying that she couldn't sleep. They then had a conversation where Whitmore agreed to give Dugan a chance, which pleased Barbara, and they said goodnight.<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    ===Fighting Brainwave===
    ===Fighting Brainwave===
    ====First Encounter====
    The staff then went to the window and when Whitmore grabbed hold of it, it flew her out of the window and to a rooftop near American Dream building, where she practiced with the staff further. She eventually jumped off the building and rode on the staff through the town and into the sky until she was hit by a tire, which knocked her off the staff and to the ground on a pile of tires at the [[Blue Valley Tire Factory (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley Tire Factory]].
    Once Barbara had left, the staff flew out the window and Courtney attempted to bring it back inside, but she was instead flow to a building near The American Dream Tower, where she practiced with it further. After a while, she jumped from the building and rode the staff through town and into the sky, but was knocked off by a group of flying tires, landing at the [[Blue Valley Tire Factory (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Blue Valley Tire Factory]]. While attempting to understand what had just happened, she was thrown against a fence and telekinetically dragged towards the building. Running inside in search of help, she was instead dragged into the air and mentally interrogated by [[Henry King Sr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Brainwave]], who asked a series of questions, including why she attacked his son. After begging the Cosmic Staff for help, it responded by striking Brainwave in the face, though he landed on his feet and proceeded to telekinetically throw tires at her. After dodging his incoming attacks, she blasted an energy beam towards him, allowing her to escape. Running outside, she was confronted by a large [[S.T.R.I.P.E. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|robot]] and was prepared to fight, until Pat revealed that he was controlling it.<ref name="Stargirl"/>

    She was then thrown into a fence and dragged towards the entrance by [[Henry King Sr. (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Brainwave's]] mental abilities. She ran into the building to get help but is instead dragged into the air and mentally interrogated by Brainwave about who she is, where she got the staff and why she attacked his son. He drags her closer towards him and continues to read her mind, at which point he discovers that she is thinking about her father. Whitmore asks the staff to do something, and it responds with striking Brainwave in the face. However, he landed on his feet and threw tires at her with his mind, which she dodged with her gymnastic skills before blasting him with a beam of energy from the cosmic staff.

    Whitmore then ran out of the factory where she was confronted by a large robot which knocked her to the ground. She got up and pointed the staff at it before Dugan revealed that he was controlling the robot.<ref name="Stargirl"/>


    ====Defeating Brainwave====
    After she realizes it is Dugan, Whitmore does not trust him, telling him to stay away from her. Dugan convinces her to trust her, and she lets him get her out of there and somewhere safe. Once back at Dugan's garage, Whitmore's hands are shaking and tells the staff to just give her a minute. After Whitmore calms down a bit, Dugan asks who attacked her, Whitmore gives her description, and says he threw tires at her with his eyes. Dugan explains it was with his mind, and that his name was Brainwave, and he was a member of the group that killed the JSA, the ISA. Whitmore asks if he killed her dad. Dugan tells her Starman was not her dad, and that brainwave killed many JSA members that night, but that it was their leader, [[Jordan Mahkent (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)|Icicle]], who killed Starman. Dugan later explains he built the robot out of old car parts

    “ People can be bad, but people can be good too, and kind and compassionate. Behind the pain and the fear, it's all about love. People want to love and be loved. ”
    — Courtney Whitmore to Henry King Jr.[src]

    Courtney "Court" Elizabeth Whitmore[2] is the vigilante known as Stargirl and the leader of the Justice Society of America.

    Biography

    Early Life

    Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore was born in 2004 in Valley Village, California to Barbara Whitmore and Sam Kurtis. During her childhood, she lived in an apartment with her mother and had limited contact with her father.[1]

    On December 25, 2009, Courtney was visited by her father for Christmas, and they spent the day together singing Christmas carols, such as "Frosty the Snowman", and making a snowman out of styrofoam. He then gave her a locket, previously belonging to his mother, with a picture of himself inside so that she would always remember him.[3] At some point, Whitmore also became best friends with Mary Kramer.[1]

    Waiting for her Father

    On December 24, 2010, Barbara and Courtney waited for hours for her father to arrive at their apartment so that Barbara could go to work, with Courtney intending to give him a mug reading "World's Best Dad". However, he never arrived and so Courtney was looked after by their neighbor, Maggie Kramer, until her mother returned home. After this, Courtney did not see her father again for almost a decade.

    At some point during her childhood, Whitmore also became a blue belt in karate and began attending Sherman High School, where she joined the gymnastics team and won several awards.[4]

    Moving to Blue Valley

    Saying Goodbye to Mary

    After Barbara married Pat Dugan, the two decided to move their family to her hometown of Blue Valley. In 2020, Courtney was packing her belongings when she came across the present that she had intended to give to her father years prior, dusting it off before quickly placing it in a box. She then said goodbye to Mary, brought the last of her belongings down to the moving van, and got in the car before the family began their long drive to Blue Valley. Upon arriving, the family briefly looked at their new home, before deciding to go to Ritchie Rock's Diner for something to eat.

    The next morning, Pat drove Courtney to her first day at Blue Valley High School and attempted to strike up a conversation, but she ignored him and kept texting. After entering the school, Whitmore went to see one of the guidance counselor's to have her picture taken for her student ID and to enquire about joining the gymnastics team. However, she was told that the gymnastics team no longer exists due to American Dream's recalibration of the school's extracurricular activities and that she should join the cheerleading team instead. After being given her student ID, Whitmore went out into the hallway and was approached by Cindy Burman and Jenny Williams, who also insisted that she join the cheerleading team, though she politely declined.

    Making Friends

    During her lunch period, Whitmore was looking for a seat in the cafeteria when she was directed to the "losers table" by Paula Brooks. She then introduced herself to fellow students Beth Chapel, Rick Harris, and Yolanda Montez and attempted to start a conversation, but was interrupted by Henry King Jr., who had come to harass Montez about nude pictures she had sent him when she was his girlfriend. Whitmore attempted to defend Montez and had her phone taken by King as a result, prompting her to push him back, accidentally knocking him into a cafeteria lady. This resulted in her being taken to detention by Principle Bowin and her subsequently missing the bus home.[1]

    Discovering the Cosmic Staff

    Courtney and the Cosmic Staff

    While walking home, Whitmore passed by Ritchie's and briefly looked inside, seeing a young girl and her father ordering something to eat. Once home, she ate dinner with her family until Pat asked what she had planned that for that evening, causing her to tell him to stop acting like her father. She then stormed off to the basement, where she kicked over a box of Pat's items, revealing an image of him dressed as Stripesy and an image of the Justice Society of America. She then discovered a glowing object in a nearby crate, opening it to reveal the Cosmic Staff. After examining the staff, she grabbed it whilst it was in mid-air, and it took her to The American Dream Tower for training. After a brief gymnastics routine, the staff flew her to the Blue Valley Drive-In, where she witnessed Henry King Jr. and two of his friends harassing Josh Hamman by vandalizing his mother's car. Deciding to teach them a lesson, she went to let the air out of King's father's car tires, but was spotted by one of his friends, resulting in a fight that ended with the staff blowing the car up.

    Vigilantism

    Whitmore then ran home to put the staff back, but was confronted by Pat, who explained that it was too dangerous to be let out of its crate. He then explained that the staff belonged to his partner Starman until he died alongside the rest of the Justice Society ten years prior on Christmas Eve, and that the staff was only supposed to work for him. This made Whitmore believe that Pemberton was her father as he had also vanished that night, and it was the only plausible explanation for why the staff also worked for her. Despite Dugan trying to convince her otherwise, Whitmore went upstairs to ask her mother whether her father was a superhero, but was told that he was not and that he had abandoned them. Later that day, Whitmore met Dugan on the porch, where he told her more about his former identity as Stripesy and his association with Starman and the Justice Society, before asking her to keep this a secret from her mother, which she did. She then went to bed, but was soon awoken by the Cosmic Staff flying into her room. As this caused her to scream, Barbara came to her room to check on her, and they then had a conversation about Courtney giving Pat a chance before saying goodnight.[1]

    Fighting Brainwave

    First Encounter

    Once Barbara had left, the staff flew out the window and Courtney attempted to bring it back inside, but she was instead flow to a building near The American Dream Tower, where she practiced with it further. After a while, she jumped from the building and rode the staff through town and into the sky, but was knocked off by a group of flying tires, landing at the Blue Valley Tire Factory. While attempting to understand what had just happened, she was thrown against a fence and telekinetically dragged towards the building. Running inside in search of help, she was instead dragged into the air and mentally interrogated by Brainwave, who asked a series of questions, including why she attacked his son. After begging the Cosmic Staff for help, it responded by striking Brainwave in the face, though he landed on his feet and proceeded to telekinetically throw tires at her. After dodging his incoming attacks, she blasted an energy beam towards him, allowing her to escape. Running outside, she was confronted by a large robot and was prepared to fight, until Pat revealed that he was controlling it.[1]

    Defeating Brainwave

    After she realizes it is Dugan, Whitmore does not trust him, telling him to stay away from her. Dugan convinces her to trust her, and she lets him get her out of there and somewhere safe. Once back at Dugan's garage, Whitmore's hands are shaking and tells the staff to just give her a minute. After Whitmore calms down a bit, Dugan asks who attacked her, Whitmore gives her description, and says he threw tires at her with his eyes. Dugan explains it was with his mind, and that his name was Brainwave, and he was a member of the group that killed the JSA, the ISA. Whitmore asks if he killed her dad. Dugan tells her Starman was not her dad, and that brainwave killed many JSA members that night, but that it was their leader, Icicle, who killed Starman. Dugan later explains he built the robot out of old car parts

    After Dugan inadvertently inspired Whitmore to get a suit for herself as Stargirl, Whitmore took Starman's suit to school. Once at school, she re-purposed it to fit herself, and in the process destroyed the sewing lab.

    At Blue Valley High's open house, Whitmore and Dugan know that Brainwave will undoubtedly show up there. They search for him during the open house, while at the same time, Brainwave is searching for them. Once Whitmore sees Brainwave, and thinks about it, Brainwave hears her thoughts and is able to find her. During their confrontation at the open house, Brainwave reads Whitmore's made and discovers she believes Starman is her father. He also discovers her real name, and about her mother. He threatens to kill her mother unless Whitmore meets him at midnight with the cosmic staff. Once Brainwave leaves Whitmore, she races to find Dugan, and tells him what Brainwave said. Dugan makes up an excuse to tell Barbara, and gets her to leave the open house, and go home.

    Once back home, Dugan instructs Whitmore not to go to face Brainwave, that he would, and if he was not home in the morning to get her mother and Mike, and leave Blue Valley forever. After Dugan goes to face Brainwave, Whitmore has a talk with her mother, who mentions how much she cares for Dugan, which convinces Whitmore to go and face Brainwave and protect Pat. Once she makes this decision, she puts on her suit for the first time, and jumps off onto the staff. As Dugan is quickly losing the battle with Brainwave, Whitmore arrives, and knocks Brainwave back with an energy wave from the staff. After dodging multiple attacks from Brainwave, Whitmore gets hit by one, and loose reach of her staff. When Dugan turns on his headlights, and temporarily blind Brainwave, Whitmore uses the staff against Brainwave's mind, which ends up frying his mind and putting him into a coma.

    After the battle with brainwave, Dugan and Whitmore return to the garage, where Dugan expresses that he lost confidence in himself, and that he was of no help, that she save him. Whitmore then tells him that the staff chose her, and she chooses him. She then comes up with a better code name for Dugan then "Stripesy", she comes up with "S.T.R.I.P.E.", an acronym standing for "Subatomic Technical Robot Internet Dugan Enhancer".[5]

    Looking Out for Trouble

    Five months after Christmas, Whitmore led her team and went on patrol for 7 days a week. However, her team attempted to take a break as they thought they were protecting a town that did not need protection at the time. Whitmore then returned to home, reading through Golden Age JSA files. Unfortunately, she was found by Pat and was questioned over staying up all night.[6]

    Before leaving school, Dugan and Barbara revealed their upcoming trip to Yellowstone National Park, with Whitmore refusing to go as she persisted in protecting Blue Valley. On the way to school, Whitmore talked to Yolanda about the latter's murder of Brainwave, telling her that she did not witness the incident and should not give her opinion.[6]

    She then went to school and had lunch while listening to Artemis' conversation with her friends. Out of fear, Whitmore assaulted Artemis and nearly injured her, with the latter showing that she was merely returning the stick to Jerome. Principal Sherman quickly entered the cafeteria and brought her away to his office. Whitmore then sat with her parents and understood that she failed history and English final exams, assigned to summer school and no longer able to go on a trip. Dugan talked to her and reminded her of finding a balance on being a superhero and a civilian, grounding her of being Stargirl for 2 weeks.[6]

    Whitmore faces the intruder

    Later that night, Whitmore heard noises on the lower level and took the Cosmic Staff to check out the source. A green light glowed in the dark, revealing a person stealing the Power Battery. They then fought each other, using their respective artifacts and causing damage all over the house. Dugan, Barbara and Mike entered the room, with Whitmore telling them that it was merely a misunderstanding, which she encountered for the second time in the day.[6]
