When Billy and Courtney Met the Shade

It's during the Princes of Darkness, and Billy and Courtney have been trapped in the Shadowlands by Obsidian. Billy's powers have been blocked, and as a result Stargirl has learned that he's really a teenage in reality.

After battling Obsidian's mother, who along with Obsidian's adopted father and Sentinel, his biological father, have all been trapped here, the pair begin to bond.

	Really, I think the whole point of preventing Courtney from having a boyfriend is that DC needs a Virginal Heroine now that they fucked up Mary Marvel. And of course the JSA founders are dicks. Or rather, can't imagine their "little girl" growing up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well Mary's still a virgin even if they did slut up her appearance. They actually made a point of it when she rejected Darkseid's offer to be his concubine in Countdown (which made her later decision to accept his offer for more power at the end of Countdown - even when she got her "light powers" back from the Gods - more inexplicable). Mary's virginity was even made a butt of jokes. Justin Gray (one of the Countdown's so-called writers and now co-writing Power Girl) told Wizard Magazine that Mary was a great spellcaster because she was a virgin and the solution to stopping her would be and I quote “put Mary Marvel and Jimmy Olsen in a room with a lot of tequila and some Barry White CDs.”. So, yeah. Classy, no?

And Mary is actually younger than Courtney is here in these scans (she's Billy's LITTLE sister) so must be 16 tops now. I think the only reason Courtney is safe from being slutted up is because Geoff Johns co-owns the character based on his dead sister and he's DC Golden Boy. Even when they keep them virgins (like Mary) all other teenage females seem to be fair game for DC's frat boy writers.

	Depends on who's writing them. Some writers remember that - some don't. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Courtney being a virgin was also a plot point in the JSA's last arc before they got rebooted. She was the only one that could stop Gentleman Ghost (when he raised a ghost army) since she was the only "pure" one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ha! It was a JSA-only arc (as it was their book). (Reply to this) (Parent)
