Halley Gardiner/Star Bright
So in 2025 when the Superman movie came out, I returned to my old superhero universe and drew a picture of my old oc, Star Bright. She was your classic super-girl; super strength, super flight, invulnerability, etc. She was one of the first in what I would later dub the Brightverse.
Now Star Bright has gone through several iterations, alterations, and character rewrites; ranging from an alien raised on earth, the clone of a dead superhero, an human/alien hybrid, and even a magical girl.
Now I've finally finished and ready to unveil 2026 Star Bright.

Bio:
Halley isn't what you would call superhero material. She isn't a nerd or an unpopular outcast. She doesn't have a tragic backstory or dead parents. Halley is a cheerleader, apart of the popular crowd, and likes to hang out at the mall with her friends. She's stubborn, loyal to her friends, and occasionally has a smart mouth.
Halley and her mom had always done their annual spring break camping trip together, only this year was different. This time, her mom's fiancée, was joining them along with his young son, Aaron. The blonde didn't like these strangers butting in on their lives and she definitely didn't like playing babysitting to some kid, especially out in the middle of the woods. She just knew this was going to be the worst camping trip ever.
Everything was fine until on the last night of their trip something fell from the sky and crashed near their camp site. Being curious, Aaron decided to check it out and Halley chased after him. When the two found the thing, it turned out to be a meteorite, a glowing meteorite.
Aaron tried to move closer to it, but Halley stopped him, stating they should get back to camp and tell their parents. Aaron argued that he just wanted a closer look and that it was fine. While the two argued, the meteorite began to glow brighter and brighter until bursts of light shot out of it. Halley pushed Aaron out of the way, but she wasn't so lucky. Only Instead of dying, her body absorbed the light.
When she woke up seconds later, she found herself with the strength of an army, faster than a speeding train, and able to withstand bullets.
She originally wanted nothing to do with her new found powers, until Aaron convinced her to become a real superhero. She really has no idea what she is doing and often has to rely on the middle schooler for help, most of his advice coming from his comic books. While she isn't a fan of the mask, the costume, or fighting, she does like the feeling she gets helping the people of Cassiopeia Bay.
Trivia:
She hates the dumb blonde jokes. She's actually a straight A student.
Halley is agile and flexible due to her cheerleading training.
Star Bright can't fly. When she attempted to, she fell face first and shattered the concrete.
Her prototype suit was her cheerleading uniform.
