** A couple of epilogue pages blatantly hinted a new Seven Soldiers of Victory were going to form with the appearance of new versions of the Crimson Avenger and Alias the Spider. A new Crimson Avenger appeared in ''JSA'' but didn't appear to be connected to the one previously alluded to. Two new Spiders appeared in ''Starman'' as well Grant Morrison's ''Seven Soldiers'' but whether they were connected to the one who appeared here is unknown. Finally, Morrison's ''Seven Soldiers'' officially nixed whatever Johns planned to do with the group.

Not caring for her mother's beau, [[ComicBook/SevenSoldiers Pat Dugan]], Courtney Whitmore went through his boxes when he moved in and discovered the Cosmic Belt. Without knowing of Dugan's past as a costumed hero, she used the belt and a modified costume to become the new Star-Spangled Kid, much to Dugan's annoyance. Consequently, Dugan created the S.T.R.I.P.E. armor to keep his new stepdaughter safe and once again became the adult sidekick to a KidHero.

*** Pat tells Mike that he planned for his son to follow ''his'' legacy and take over piloting S.T.R.I.P.E., but this never happened and no reference to him continuing his 'training' followed. When Pat silently retires being S.T.R.I.P.E., Mike doesn't pick it up and whenever he appears after, Mike just acts like a typical bratty younger brother.

* WhatTheHellHero: During the "Day of Judgment" crossover, Pat doesn't want to get involved because magic users like Doctor Occult only bring him problems, until Courtney asks him if he wants her to become the kind of hero who refuses help because it inconveniences her.

!!''Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.'' provides examples of:

* ArchEnemy: Shiv for Courtney.
* BadassFamily: Courtney's Star-Spangled Kid with S.T.R.I.P.E, her stepfather.
* BadassNormal: All of Courtney's powers are actually derived from her belt; she has no superpowers of her own. And let's face it, how many teenage girls, if granted something like the Cosmic Belt, would use it to fight supervillains?
* BareYourMidriff: One of the more noticeable ways Courtney modified the Star-Spangled Kid uniform. She often wears crop-tops in her civilian life too.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Courtney is ''so much this'' at the start. She stole the costume solely to divorce her mom from her hated stepdad (who was never shown doing anything wrong to her).
* CaptainPatriotic: The Star-Spangled Kid and S.T.R.I.P.E.
* CharacterDevelopment: The Courtney from early issues looks bizarre to us now, as she's blatantly bratty, snotty, arrogant, a pain in the ass and openly disrespectful to adults.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Cosmic Belt for Courtney and the S.T.R.I.P.E. armor for Pat.
* CrossOver: Quite a few crossovers with other DC properties during its short run including ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'', ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'', ''[[ComicBook/SevenSoldiers The Seven Soldiers of Victory]]'' and ''[[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica the JSA]]'' a team Courtney would eventually join.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Shiv for her father the Dragon King.
* DisappearedDad: Courtney's biological father left when she was very young.
* {{Foil}}: Shiv was a Foil to Courtney in that, while Courtney was the stepdaughter of an established superhero (Pat Dugan, a.k.a. S.T.R.I.P.E.) and initially became a hero to piss him off, Shiv is the biological daughter of an established supervillain (the Dragon King) and became a villain to make her father proud.
* HomeBase: Pat's Pit Stop.
* KidHero: The series is centered on Courtney Whitmore becoming one.
* LegacyCharacter: Courtney Whitmore as the second Star Spangled Kid.
* ParentWithNewParamour: Courtney's mother dating and marrying Pat Dugan is the catalyst that kicks off the plot as Courtney finds the belt while rummaging through Dugan's things.
* PoweredArmor: The S.T.R.I.P.E. armor
* ProtectThisHouse: In issue 11 Shiv attacks them at home.
* RedOniBlueOni: S.T.R.I.P.E. is the blue to the Star-Spangled Kid's red-oni tendencies.

* SkunkStripe: Shiv's sidelocks are white.
