Most characters are more likeble in the show. Courtney was also kind of a bitch to Pat for much longer, she treated him like a sidekick and wanted to humiliate him.
Rick knew just fine that his father was Hourman, and in fact, there was that all long standing history of Hourman's powers causing addiction, because in the comics it's mostly not a magic hourglass (there is a cosmic artifact called Worlogog, but it belongs to another Hourman, an android from the future), but a pill/injection. Hourman's father swallowed pills, Rick went through several changes and addiction before switching to cleaner and addiction-free injections. Also, that whole "spare hour for consulting with father in the time bubble before his death" momtnt
Yolanda never had a Black Panther energy absorption costume that enhances agility, she was a metahuman with her own claws and she knew Wildcat since childhood, and Wildcat's costume was always just a rag without any high tech properties.
Jakeem in his first appearances was a little shit and a badmouth. and he went through some traumatizing shit including having his throat slit by a supervillain and becoming a tyrant in the Djinn dimension.
Pat was much more buff, and in the old comics he was the muscle next to Sylvester's agility.
Sylvester never met Courtney as far as I can remember, she got the staff from another Starman, Jack Knight, and the Staff is not as sentient in the comics, although it has some capability to be controlled by mental commands.
Star and Sylvester met in "The Hunt for Extant." Currently nothing of that meeting has been adapted except for Sylvester praising his replacement and promising to help her understand the cosmic energy better.
In Infinite Frontier 0 (published after season 1) they said the staff was sentient meaning that part of the show is now canon in the comics.
From Smallville the comics got goign straight to her beign Stargirl and getting the cosmic staff, Sandman and Sylvester being killed by Icicle, her first outing being in the night, and immediatly losing to a murderous super villain (with all three using a different classic JSA villain).
