Courtney Whitmore is a young legacy heroine who is a member of the Justice Society of America. Originally, she operated as the Star-Spangled Kid, using both the original Kids Cosmic Converter Belt. But when Jack Knight retired, he left Courtney his Cosmic Staff, which convinced her to change her identity to Stargirl. As A-Day struck, infecting some of Stargirls family, Courtney and her stepfather, Pat Dugan, decided that the better part of valor was to carefully infiltrate the new organization of Furies, pretending to be one of their recent converts. For weeks, Stargirl lay in wait, fighting the corruption of Goth until Checkmate assisted her in retaking her Cosmic Converter Belt and her fathers uniform. Along with Bob Crane, the original Robotman, the pair returned to Zonn Zorr. What happens when the stars in the sky die out? The insoluble truths that held self-evident, winking out of existence, one by one by one? For Courtney there was no grand strategy, no master plan for vengeance in Blue Valley. There was only survival - survival and a gnawing, biting, painful reminder of inevitability. In the pit of her stomach, it grew like a cancer - the immutable realization that reality would someday set in, and those things she pretended transplanted by a wholehearted embrace of Goth's corruption. So when hope sprang from the unlikeliest of sources, and once the adrenaline of escape wore off, Courtney had to wrestle with the fact that she was ready to go to the dark side. That's the crux of the young Stargirl in this campaign - Courtney has been a hero born and bred, every single thread of her grander tapestry laid to reflect the idea that, someday, Courtney might be the leader of a generation of superheroes. But Courtney had never been pushed too far - it had always been fun and games to the former Star-Spangled Kid, and now, for the first time, she had been tested and found wanting. The psychological toll that takes on someone who has essentially led a charmed life to that point is incalculable. Not even Pat, I don't think, can really pull Courtney back from this existential threat, and as Courtney continues to battle on, we'll have to watch her, together, to understand where she's going, and what a no longer self-assured destiny does to the brightest girl on Earth. You people were remarkably quiet when it came to any discussion about drafting #53. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
