I know the show has hinted at an explanation but it is getting a bit silly that all of these supers just so happen to be in the same town. Not that I'm complaining--I don't mind silly--but I feel the need to point it out.

Well, there's always some place, like Metropolis, Gotham City, Central City, Starling City and Smallville, with a cluster of superheroes and villains. Now it's Blue Valley. Coincidence?

Let's see how closely this show follows the DC comic book " Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. (1999)".

It's mainly the villains, and that's pretty much is explained away as they all belonged to the Injustice Society. Before Stargirl and family moved in, only one other hero actually lived in that town, Hourman (who was killed as the villains moved in).

But what are the chances that the superhero doohickeys all choose kids in that small town rather than somewhere else in America? If that's a commentary along the lines of "anyone can be a hero", cool, but they haven't explained it yet.

Only Stargirl's staff chose her. Stargirl/Courtney stole all the other items from the JSA base and brought them to the town. As for how the other kids got the items (Spoilers):

• Courtney gave the Hourman's hourglass to Cameron as it was genetically coded to Hourman and thus worked for his son.
• Dr. Midnight's goggles is just a pair of augmented reality goggles with an AI. It didn't choose Beth; she just happened to find it cause she's nosey. The only chance happening was Courtney dropping it in her closet for Beth to find when she moved the other items.
• The Wild Cat's suit didn't choose Yolanda either, Courtney did.

Fair enough.
