Was it like that in the comic?
And making a prediction, the rod lets Pat Dugan use it in a time of great need. Just once. Then it comically refuses to budge for him. Whether that happens in the comic or not, I bet it happens on the show.
In the stars and stripe comic Courtney didn't actually have the rod she only had the cosmic converter belt. She didn't get the rod until after the JSA run (when Jack knight gave up eing Starman and passed it on). While her character and that of stripe / Pat is being done very true character, and most of the character storylines fornher Cindy/Shiv are true to the stars and stripe comic that aspect isn't.
There was a crossover with Silver Surfer where it was referenced with the power her Rod uses is the same cosmic power used by the Silver surfer. In another storyline (and several tellings of origin) Ted night discovered this energy that linked all stars and celestial bodies and used it as a power source for the rod, somehow syncing the rod to it.
It was able to be mentally controlled by both Jack and Courtney from a distance, but didnt show life of its own
