StarS can speak with animals. His connection to Love reaches beyond romantic partners, with Wonder Woman and She-Ra as character touchstones for the way that gift presents.

Specs knows Wonder Woman can speak with animals. Gaze’s research also tells him she served as a Star Sapphire, although that ability is not presented as a standard entry in the Corps’ power set. She’s better at the job. Specs connects those facts and assumes her time in Violet left something he can reach.

He gets the connection right by the wrong explanation. Love already includes the possibility of wanting to communicate with other living things simply to share and express love. Diana’s relationship to that Love does not depend on a temporary Corps role, and StarS can reach the same connection while shy violet.

It is not Wonder Woman depositing a spare power for him to borrow. The deeper understanding belongs to what Love can encompass. Specs embraces the link before he understands why it works.

That distinction lets the story and the larger theory coexist. Specs has a theory grounded in what he knows; the cosmology extends past his explanation.

The distinction between his gifts matters: speaking with a creature and making an animal-shaped construct are different expressions of his power.

Specs is willing to seek Flash and Atom to ask about their experiences as deputies, but approaching Wonder Woman for that investigation feels improper to him. He regards her as divine. Curiosity does not automatically become permission to demand her explanation.

One day, she might reverse that perspective: posit the divine role toward which he has been moving, and tell him never to stop singing. His animal communication belongs to a larger connection than either a copied skill or a character reference.
