Star-Spangled Kid

The Star-Spangled Kid is the name of two DC Comics superheroes.

The first Star-Spangled Kid was Sylvester Pemberton, a Golden Age character. He became the Star-Spangled Kid in order to battle Nazi spies and fifth columnists during World War II. He was unique in that he was a kid superhero who had an adult sidekick, Stripesy a.k.a. Pat Dugan. The Kid and Stripesy were members of the Seven Soldiers of Victory. The Kid eventually changed his name to Skyman and led the team Infinity Inc. He was later killed.


The second Star-Spangled Kid is Courtney Whitmore, step-daughter of Pat Dugan. She found Pemberton's gear in his belongings and donned the costume in order annoy him. Dugan, a skilled mechanic, designed and built S.T.R.I.P.E., an armored robot which he rides in to accompany and protect her. Eventually, she joined the Justice Society of America and, after being given Starman's (Jack Knight) gravity rod, changed her identity to Stargirl.
