Powers and Abilities

During her first appearances Shooting Star claimed to possess “stellar” powers, and left a glittery stardust trail in the wake of her flight. This was later dismissed in her later appearances as her being borne aloft by her partner Texas Twister. For a ’powered‘ version of Shooting Star delete her gyro-boots, give her Flight and Solar Sustenance of both 07 APs. What isn’t in dispute is that she is a superb equestrian and sharpshooter.

She is also skilled in unarmed combat, and carries two ’Starshooters’ that can paralyze a man for up to half an hour.

History

Very little is known about Victoria Star’s life before taking the alias Shooting Star. Her father is Remington Star a wealthy Texas oil baron. He hired scientists to build her special weapons for her rodeo sharpshooting act. For the details of her adventuring career see Texas Twister’s history.

Initiative:
More recently, after the Civil War, the Texas Rangers have become the official, registered super-team in Texas. All members have Credentials (Initiative, Low) and access to Extensive Headquarters as members.

The Rangers were the first line against a massive HYDRA attack targeting the POTUs’ private residence in Texas. They were defeated, but bought enough time for the rest of the Avengers to arrive.

When the Secret Invasion started, it was revealed that Lobo, Red Wolf’s companion, was an infiltrated Skrull. They fought against him, until Shooting Star killed him.

Texas Twister and Shooting Star joined with both the Initiative and the Skrull Kill Krew in the final combat in Fort Hammond, where the blonde Texan was apparently killed by lethal gas.

Description

Shooting Star is a stunning Texas beauty. She wears a red, white, and blue cowgirl outfit, with a big star on her chest. She carries her pistols in two hip-holsters warn on her gun belt.

Personality

Shooting Star is a strong willed, brave, and fiercely loyal member of the Rangers. A proud woman, one of her greatest desires was proving to the world that the Rangers was a top-rank superhero team.

DC Universe History

As Shooting Star was pretty much a tag along of Texas Twister, see his DC history for details.
