Pat was Starman’s best friend and was adamant that he didn’t have a daughter, but Courtney was convinced and Pat stopped correcting her.
Honestly, it seemed like Courtney’s way of coping with an absent father, while also feeling validated in taking up the mantle of Stargirl.
If it’s a part of her father’s legacy, then she’s a shoe-in, right?
However, I don’t have the same faith as Courtney and don’t think Starman was her dad at all. I feel we’re in for a big shocker down the line, but it’s one plotline that needs to be resolved.
