Stargirl

Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore, known as Stargirl (often called "Stars" or "Star"), is a fictional superhero created by Geoff Johns and Lee Moder who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character's name, appearance, and personality were patterned after Johns' sister Courtney, who died in the explosion of TWA Flight 800 in 1996.
Courtney Whitmore was originally known as the second Star-Spangled Kid, but she began using the name "Stargirl" after she was presented with the Cosmic Staff by Jack Knight.
Courtney was the daughter of Sam Kurtis and Barbara Whitmore, born and raised in sunny California. Her parents divorced, and Barbara found a new love: Pat Dugan. They moved to Blue Valley, Nebraska. Courtney did not like the move, and she did not like her new stepfather. She did make new friends quickly though, with Mary Kramer and Josh Hamman.
While rummaging through her stepfather's belongings, she found Sylvester Pemberton's old equipment. Realizing her stepfather used to be Stripesy, the only adult sidekick to a teen hero in history, filled her with joy, as she had a new means to get back at him and ridicule him. She donned a Star-Spangled outfit to a patriotic-themed spirit week dance to mock him, but they were attacked by Dragon King's minions. Dugan pulled out his newly built S.T.R.I.P.E. Armor to stop them, and they prevented the thugs from taking over. They decided they would form a duo, Star-Spangled Kid and S.T.R.I.P.E.
Stargirl has appeared in Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Justice League Action, and Young Justice. She has also appeared in live-action shows Smallville played by Britt Irvin, Legends of Tomorrow played by Sarah Grey, and in her own television series played by Brec Bassinger.

== Appearances in Idea Wiki ==
=== Iago PUC's ideas ===
* Stargirl is a recurring character in Iago PUC's Justice League/Teen Titans Animated Universe, voiced by Natalie Lander. A young scout member of the Justice League and honorary member of the Teen Titans, this version's Cosmic Staff shares powers and functions equivalent to those of a Lantern's power ring, such as working only for those who were chosen to wield it, and allowing the wielder to fly and project energy-based constructs; it is also revealed that the Staff is a creation of the Guardians of Oa. She is one of Supergirl's closest friends, and is in a romantic relationship with Green-later-White Lantern Corps member Kyle Rayner. She also has a cousin and surrogate brother named Felix (voiced by Robbie Daymond), who donned a Cosmic Helmet with the same functions of Courtney's Cosmic Staff and became Star Hunter, and is a member of Terra's Knights of Rao.
* Stargirl is a playable character in Marvel/DC Heroes Unite!, voiced by Natalie Lander. This version is depicted as a member of the Teen Titans, and is a protegee of Hal Jordan / Green Lantern and Carol Ferris / Star Sapphire. Along with the same capabilities as in the comics, Stargirl's Cosmic Staff can also produce star-made light constructs. In the game's main story, during the DC heroes' alliance with the Marvel heroes, Stargirl becomes best friends with Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel and the Rookie hero/heroine.
* Stargirl is a playable character in Lego Teen Titans, voiced by Tara Strong.
* A futuristic version of Stargirl is the titular protagonist in Stargirl Lineage. This version is Elizabeth "Lizzie" Coleman, a teenage athlete and aspiring sports champion who inherited the Cosmic Rod from the long retired Courtney Whitmore.
=== Coolot1's ideas ===
* Courtney Whitmore / Stargirl appears in DC: Unlimited Rebirth, voiced by Dove Cameron. Along with her same powers and abilities from the comics, this version is one of the Daughters of Wonder Woman, and was one of Diana's adopted children; she was adopted by Diana after her parents were killed during an riot in Cale Pharmaceuticals caused by Intergang and orchestrated by Tobias Whale, to which Courtney currently blames both the company's CEO Veronica Cale and Whale for. Her Cosmic Staff (renamed the Star of Rao) was created by the smithgod Hephaestus and the Guardians of Oa in homage of Superman after he helped stop Ares's invasion of Themyscira and Metropolis. She is the second youngest of the Daughters. Her costume is a one-piece leotard version of her comic book outfit, with her mask replaced for a star-shaped tiara. She is also the potential love interest of Billy Batson / Shazam.
