00:53
character created by John's and she was
00:55

01:40
adapted by Pembleton and which was based
01:42
on the cosmic rod technology first
01:44
designed by Ted Knight also known as the
01:46
original Starmen. Courtney begins using
01:49
the belt to become the second
01:51
star-spangled kid mostly to annoy Duden
01:54
for moving her and her mother to
01:55
Nebraska
01:56
in response Dugan developed a robotic
01:59
suit codenamed stripe to protect his
02:01
stepdaughter later Courtney would be
02:04
gifted with the cosmic staff from Jack
02:06
Knight Ted's youngest son and the new
02:08
and very much reluctant hero star man

form of stars at her foes she also has
02:28
increased speed stamina and strength

when she utilizes the cosmic staff she's
02:34
able to fly in absorb light energy which

02:38
the staff also uses the same energy it
02:41
absorbs to create very powerful energy
02:43
blasts it's revealed later in the comics
02:46
that the staff is attuned to her
