S.T.R.I.P.E.

Pat Dugan, stepfather of the new Star-Spangled Kid Courtney Whitmore, built a massive suit of powered armor to watch over her in the field, becoming S.T.R.I.P.E. — a mechanized guardian operating in the tradition of DC's golden-age legacy heroes.

Debuting in 1999's Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #1 — a Geoff Johns and Lee Moder creation that launched one of DC's most charming Modern Age series — S.T.R.I.P.E. is a armored powerhouse whose story is rooted in the legacy-rich tradition of DC heroism. Sharing pages with luminaries like Green Lantern, The Flash, Firestorm, Courtney Whitmore, and Pat Dugan, this character moves in genuinely storied company, and appearances in landmark events like Infinite Crisis and 52 confirm a place at the table when DC's biggest moments unfold. With two collector-recognized key issues to their name and a presence stretching across more than two decades, S.T.R.I.P.E. rewards the fan who loves discovering the heart beneath the spectacle of the DC Universe.
