## Biography: (Written By Oracle)

### Courtney Whitmore: 1996 - 2009

Courtney Whitmore was born to a single mother from Gotham who had been attempting to flee from her abusive and toxic boyfriend in order to avoid any pain for herself and her still unborn daughter though this would led to Courtney to a life fulled with crime fighting adventure despite being born in Metropolis Courtney and her mother would move around a lot regardless they later made their way to a small city of Blue Valley; Barbara Whitmore befriended Patrick Dugan, a single father and a mechanic.

When Courtney was ten, the single parents joined their families and Courtney got Mike Dugan as a stepbrother. It was shortly after moving into Patrick’s home that Courtney discovered an old STAR Labs container with a digital keypad. When she asked Patrick about it, all he did was tell her to stay away from it. Of course, she didn’t listen.

After many (and I mean may) failed attempts into opening the chest Courtney went through her stepfathers workshop to find anything that might open the box there she discovered that Pat had a background of working with the U.S Military along with STAR Labs as a mechanical engineer and was able to create a belt that was able to enhance the wearers physical prowess through a process called Cosmic Conversion. After discovering this she had confronted Pat about this where he explained that he had been a field technician for special forces all armed with Cosmic Conveyor belts. Due to the the aftermath of September 11th and was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and was dubbed "Victory" where the team worked with Wonder Woman along with Steve Trevor but had later been disbanded. While Pat had retired quietly during the confusion along with his belt with him. While Courtney promised not to tell her mother she had returned to the container and entered the word "Victory" and from there a hero was born.

### Star Spangled Kid: 2009 - 2015

After opening the chest Courtney had gone through her stepfathers various war time gear along with the Conveyor belt, at first she had planned to expose Pat about this secret to her mother, after discovering the belt she had seemed to become side tracked having been interested in the highly dangerous equipment. After deciding to use the belt for herself Courtney flew over the town for a joy ride, unknowingly having activated the belt's ability to give her enhanced strength. Much like any teen hero she decided to forge a makeshift by going through her closet.

Though her joyride was canceled however as Pat found Courtney attempting to sneak out of the house while she tried to knock Pat out though this failed as he was able to easily dodge her kicks and punches due to his military training after a while Courtney calmed down enough for pat to talk some sense into her as instead of grounding her or taking away the belt he decided that she needed training. As he was willing to let her go superheroing with a chaperone though she was upset by this she agreed non the the less. After a few months of added training Pat took Courtney to the outskirts of town.

There Pat gave Courtney her own hero costume along with showing her their lair while Courtney didn't fully like Pat's style so she made some upgrades of her own and after agreeing to the upgrades just as long as they were patriotic and after getting the costume to her liking Court finally meet her chaperone: A giant mech piloted by none other than Pat himself with that serious father and daughter time in hand the two made quick work of themselves replacing Uncle Sam and Rosie the Riveter over night.

And after the League was able to expose the Syndicate Supreme and gaining a bigger roster Pat was selected to join up with the League while Courtney was placed with the Titans.
