Her new stepfather, Pat Dugan, was once a costumed adventurer called Stripesy--sidekick to the Golden Age hero the Star-Spangled Kid.

Using his exceptional mechanical skills, he builds a robotic suit called S.T.R.I.P.E. to make sure he can keep an eye on Courtney as she battles for justice. Now the duo fight side by side--often bickering, but never forgetting to watch each other's backs as they take on aliens, cults, super-villains, and more!Collects: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #0-14, JSA: All Stars #4, and stories from DCU Heroes Secret Files (1999) and DCU Villains Secret Files (1999)
