History: (Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #2, 3) - Paul Deisinger was an art teacher at Blue Valley High who was given superhuman powers and the identity of Paintball by the Dragon King. Principal Sherman ordered him to frighten Courtney Whitmore, a student who was interfering with the Dragon King's master plan. At the end of the school day he changed into Paintball and started using his destructive color-powers on the students in detention hall. Courtney slipped away from the chaos, and changed into Star-Spangled Kid II. S.T.R.I.P.E. arrived at Blue Valley High, and joined the Kid's fight against Paintball. The Kid used a mirror to reflect one of Paintball's color-blasts back at the villain. After being struck, nothing remained of Paintball except his goggles and a puddle of paint.
