Stargirl (Season 4)

The upcoming fourth season of the hit DC Comics-based series Stargirl.

Plot
The main villains of the season are the Injustice Unlimited who, under the leadership of Shiv/Cindy, will grow in numbers and strenght until they will be ready to take on a final assault on the Justice Society. However, as the series progresses, several of the members will go through great character developments that will bring them close to a change of heart. Only one of them, however, will reform and it's Artemis/Tigress because of love.

The season will, in fact, introduce Wallace "Wally" West alias Kid Flash, who in this universe is the grandson of Jay Garrick. Though he is a bit of a prankster and a latin lover who love to use his powers to gain attention (especially from the girls) and embarass people (he particularly seems to enjoy pantsing and stripping people at super speed), deep inside he has the heart of a true hero. He will become one of the recurring characters and a full time member of the Justice Society and good friend with Courtney, Billy and the others. But more importantly he and Artemis will fall in love through the season which will cause her to reform and join the good guys during the final fight between the Justice Society and the Injustice Unlimited. Personality wise, this incarnation of Wally is very similar to the original version who also appeared in the Justice League and Young Justice animated series: a charming and goofy character always quick with a joke. Through the season, Rick and Yolanda will finally confess their mutual love and get engaged as well as Jakeem and Beth. Jennie will finally take up the mantle and legacy of her father Alan and becomes the superheroine known as Jade. She will also begin a relationship with Henry Jr. (after he has been freed by the mind control placed by Neron when he resurrected him) who will also decide to become a superhero by the end of the season following the example of his friends, while still holding hope that his father can be redeemed.

Another main villain and plot of the season will be Todd Rice/Obsidian, the long lost brother of Jade who appeared in the final scene of the previous season. Jade and Todd's full backstory will be revealed: after their father Alan Scott, the Green Lantern, died in battle when they were still infants, their mother Rose went crazy and lost custody of both her children. They were adopted separately and lost track of each other, as they were too little to remember what the other looked like. After spending a miserable childhood in several abusive foster families, Todd was taken in and raised by Ian Karkull, a long time enemy of the Justice Society and leader of the Shadowlands who connected him to the realm and gave him powers based on the manipulation of dark matter. Obsidian has a traumatic hatred for the superheroes and the Justice Society as he blamed them for the death of his father and his miserable existance. He and Jade will have a love/hate relationship as they will both try to bring the other to their respective side. Karkull cannot leave the Shadowlands (at least for now but they're working on it) so he will only appears while communicating telepathically with Todd and with the main characters in a couple of scenes. Obsidian will later join the Injustice Unlimited and becomes Shiv's second-in-command and the two appears to have a mutual attraction.

Black Adam will also returns to plague our superheroes, this time to focus on conquering his home nation of Kahndaq. He will assemble his own group of supervillains, The Black Reign Group, comprised mainly of loose cannon criminals, morally dubious superhumans and ex-members of the Justice Society of America who grew frustrated with the JSA's moral boundaries and operated according to the stance that the stance that killing villains and lawbreakers was a necessary evil to protect the world. The group was started after when Kobra blackmailed the authorities and the JSA into granting his release using suicide bombers, angering Atom Smasher by the fact he was not punished for his acts of terrorism. Albert (already angered by Stargirl and Captain Marvel's relationship and the fact that the other JSA members can't stand his arrogant and violence-prone personality) promptly quit the JSA after Kobra's escape and he is deceived by Black Adam that joining his team is the best decision for him. The Black Reign Group consists of Black Adam, Isis, Atom Smasher, Brainwave, Brainwave II, Northwind, Hath-Seth, Eclipso, Nemesis and The Wizard. All the later characters previously debutated in the season as solo villains before being recluted by Black Adam.

Eclipso previously returned causing a dimensional drift that will briefly bring into Stargirl's reality the Kingdom Come versions of Superman and Supergirl. The two will both be possessed by Eclipso who will use them as living weapons to enact revenge on the JSA. In the end, Stargirl will have to fight Supergirl while Captain Marvel battles Superman. After two climatic and titanic clashes, the Star-Spangled Kid and the World's Mightiest Mortal manage to defeat the possessed superheroes thus freeing them from Eclipso's possession. In the end, the four heroes will defeat the trickster but they know that it is only a matter of time before he show himself again. Superman and Supergirl returns to their dimension after congratulating and thank Stargirl and Captain Marvel for stopping them.

Hawkman and Hawkgirl will finally find their son from their previous lifetimes, Hector Hall, only to discover that the loss of his parents traumatized him so much that he has grow to be a violent vigilante under the name of Northwind. They will try to set things right with him and even try to have him join the Justice Society but he will ultimately be refused due to his inner and uncontrollable ferocity and his unwillingness to change. In absence of his parents, the boy was taken in by Doctor Anton Hastor, a man who will reveal himself to be the reincarnation of Hath-Set, the wizard who cursed Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

In an episode, Stargirl and her friends will meet again Aquaman and Mera and will help them against Deathstroke, the deadliest mercenary in the world, who is after them after been hired by Mr. Bones who wants them to reveal him the route to Atlantis. Another character to debut in the season to become a recurring cast member is Zatanna, the magician! She shares a history with The Wizard as he was the one who killed her father in an attempt to steal his magic secrets. Zatanna and Courtney will become very good friends though she seems to be attracted to Captain Marvel at first, which causes tension between the two, before learning that Marvel is actually a 16-year old boy while she's in her 20s. Because Kent Nelson is unwilling to put on the helmet (the power of Nabu is too overwhelming for him to bear), she will be the spellcaster of the group. She is also the one to restore Henry Jr.'s memories.

Grundy will also come back to life but once again controlled by the Injustice Unlimited and on the bad side. Before Rick manages once again to awaken his good natured personality in the last episode. Grundy will later go to live in Swamp Thing's forest where he can live in peace hidden by those who would hurt him.

The Kobra Cult led by their fanatical leader will also make their live action debut in the series alongside other villains such as Johnny Sorrow, Ubermensch, Kid Karnevil, Paintball, Slipstream and a new version of the Psycho-Pirate (a lot more true to the comics compared to the version who appeared in Arrow, though played by the same actor). A new version of the DC character Blue Moon will debut in the show: she is a spoiled, rich and famous media personality Paris Hilton type, who will gain superpowers thanks to Johnny Sorrow. Though she initially try to act as a superheroine (but purely to get attention and fame), she will get frustrated when she realizes the people love Stargirl much more than her and becomes a villain, later a member of the Injustice Unlimited. The Rival will also show up again to battle Kid Flash and his friends. Johnny Sorrow will appear in a total of 5 episodes and he is portrayed as a very theatrical kind of villain, often quoting William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Arthur Miller. He is also revealed to have suffer from a tragic past like the comics and to be connected to a powerful evil entity (for now we do not know who he is). He appears to be more interested in testing the superheroes rather than defeating them and acts like he is building a greater scenario.

Two Arrowverse villains previously appeared in other series, Mallus and A.M.A.Z.O, will appear in the season as the antagonist of a respective episode. Each of them will require the work of the entire Justice Society to bring them down. After the superheroes defeated him, Mallus will then be trapped into a scepter created by the wizard Shazam to forever imprison him. The scepter will later be stolen by Black Adam, who will use it as a weapon in the Kahndaqi War, and then, after his defeat, is found by Shiv who will keep it as her new main weapon.
