Besides, the image of a young and purposeful superheroine seems to me very important in modern realities. ”  Courtney Whitmore's character first appeared in comics in 1999. Stargirl is the daughter of Pat Dugan, partner of Sylvester Pemberton, also known as Starship. After Kourtney discovers her father's costume, she decides to start her superhero career.
