S.T.R.I.P.E.
A brilliant inventor and engineer, Pat Dugan created an advanced battle suit that he called the Special Tactics Robotic Integrated Power Enhancer (or S.T.R.I.P.E.). Dugan built this armor because his step daughter, Courtney Whitmore had obtained the Cosmic Staff and was headstrong set on using it to become the super heroine known as Stargirl. Dugan was unable to dissuade Courtney from this brave yet dangerous path so he built STRIPE so that he might battle at her side and do his best to keep her out of trouble.
Although he started out as merely an overly protective parent, Dugan actually thrived as STRIPE and he and Stargirl proved to be a highly formidable crime-fighting duo.
When the Justice League expanded its ranks both Stargirl and STRIPE were invited to join. Once more Dugan was hesitant over the potential dangers involved in accepting this offer, but his stepdaughter was not going to pass up the opportunity. As such, both ended up members of the League.
As a part of the team, STRIPE aided in the battles against Amazo, Mordru, the Dark Heart invasion, the Ultimen as well as Deimos’s army in Skartaris. Throughout it all, STRIPE and Stargirl fought side by side with Dugan continuously watching out for Stargirl and doing his best to keep his partner’s youthful, reckless behavior in check.
Phil LaMarr provided the voice for STRIPE with the hero first appearing the premier episode of the first season of Justice League Unlimited, ‘Initiation.’
