Pat Dugan

Childhood: 1955-1971
Born on June 17th, 1955 as Patrick “Pat” Dugan. His father worked as the bodyguard for John Pemberton, the father of Sylvester Pemberton and a wealthy investment banker. In 1966, the hero called the Star-Spangled Kid emerged and Pat immediately idolized him. Pat had a great intellect but his father pushed him to work-out and become strong, so he did. He would use the Pemberton's private gym in their house to work-out but never interacted with the Pembertons as John was always at work and Sylvester always disappeared. But in 1970, he caught Sylvester sneaking off somewhere and confronted him, but Sylvester just told him he is meeting with friends. For the following months, Pat investigated Sylvester and eventually found out that Sylvester was Skyman. From then on, Pat helped Sylvester as his sidekick, Stripesy.

Later in 1971, Pat upgraded Sylvester's cosmic converter belt. The following year, in 1972, Sylvester finally let Pat tag along in a battle between Solomon Grundy, Brainwave, and the Justice Society. He helped defeat the villains, this led to him becoming an honorary member of the team. In 1973, Pat became a full-fledged member of the society when he and the Society helped The Spectre defeat battle Eclipso. A few months later, the Society battled the Injustice Society and the battle ended with the world forgetting the JSA and the death of Sylvester. After this, Pat went back to normal life.

Pat Dugan: 1974-2008
When Pat put away the Cosmic Staff and Cosmic Converter Belt, he unknowingly let the radiation from the staff radiate which affected him in the long term. This slowed down his aging. He would go to college and earn his master's in Mechanical Engineering. Using his advanced intellect, he began working on a flying car. In 1990, he met Maggie Shaw and married her in 1993. In 1997, Maggie gave birth to Michael "Mike" Dugan. But shortly after Mike's birth, Maggie disappeared. This led to Pat raising Mike as an only father. In 2002, few years after the emergence of the 2nd generation of heroes (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) he began to dismantle his half-finished flying car and turn it into a mech. Later, in 2007, he met a woman named Barbara Whitmore and they had instant connection which led to him dating her for the next year. The following year, in 2008, he proposed to Barbara and married a few months later. Barbara's daughter, Courtney was not too happy about moving to Blue Valley let alone Pat marrying her mother. So Courtney acted horribly to Pat and tried to break them up. On the first day of Courtney starting high school, Courtney uncovered a box containing stuff from Pat's time as Stripesy. Luckily, Pat arrived in time to close the box before Courtney could grab the Cosmic Staff. Courtney decided to become a hero and Pat reluctantly agreed... if she had some supervision.

The Striped Hero Reborn: 2008-Present
A few days after this, Dragon King attacked Courtney, she would've been toast if Pat didn't arrive... with a giant freaking mech! The pair fought Dragon King until he retreated. When he took her to their new base, in the back of his garage she came up with a name, S.T.R.I.P.E.S (Special Tactics Robotic Integrated Power Enhancement Suit). The following year, in 2009, he was inducted into the Justice League as member while Courtney was an honorary member. Later that year, Courtney confronted Pat about the staff and feeling that she was ready, Pat let her take it. Thus, Stargirl was born. In 2010, Courtney considered Pat her father... but later Sam Kurtis, Courtney's biological father appeared. They found out that Sam was a member of the Royal Flush Gang and Courtney kicked him out. Pat confronted Sam telling him that he hurt Courtney, but Sam couldn't care less. Sam also made a snarky remark about Barbara which earned Sam a right hook from Pat that would make Ted Grant proud. A few weeks later, Barbara caught Courtney in her suit and Pat explained everything. Barbara freaked out but eventually calmed down and accepted it. The following year, in 2011, the original members of the JSA re-emerged and Pat explained everything and restarted their friendships. The re-emergence of the JSA caused Courtney to reform the JSA. In 2012, the JSA took down Infinity, Inc.. In 2013, Pat was took down Dragon King while Courtney took down Shiv. In 2014, Pat and the JSA helped the League battle against the OMACs. In 2015, the JSA took down the Injustice Society. In 2016, Pat and the JSA helped the League battle against Darkseid and stop his invasion. As of now Pat is helping the JSA battle crime.
