I must've missed something here.<br /><br />Waal ah tolja that DC was gonna debut a New Supergirl at the end of this process, Thao-La would seem to be a good candidate, although this is DC they could easily have another much more dubious scheme in mind.<br />On the other hand, it would mean that both "The New Supergirl" (Thao-La) and "Superwoman" (Kara Zor El, AKA "The Super Spinster of the Moon") will both have essentially the same backstory, Being as they are "Children of Pain".<br />It'll be months, possibly years before DC figures this out, that in a bid to make Supergirl NEW & DIFFERENT they've achieved nothing save making her as miserable and boring as everyone else in the DCU.<br /><br />Nowhere to go, but Up All The Same.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7705584711658094932021-10-04T19:05:51.654-04:002021-10-04T19:05:51.654-04:00My brain went "ding ding ding" at the id...My brain went "ding ding ding" at the idea of it. DC will finally have a Supergirl based on a serious trauma - that's what they want, but many fans object, and they may find it not so easy to try to keep Kara in that box. But no one can deny Thao-La's traumatic past. And in the future there will be plenty of Phaelosians in the House of El.<br /><br />I had not remembered this, but Thao-La is the prominent little girl in the Action Annual, dressed like Supergirl, and asking about her.<br /><br />But in that Annual, Kara will still be Superwoman in the future, leading the House and conducting weddings, and there is no sign of Thao-La. Looking to the future, Mr. Byla says Brandon Kent will retire and train his daughter Theand'r to become Superwoman eventually.<br /><br />At the end, Mr. Byla implies there is much more to Thao-La's story.<br /><br />Who are the parents of Rowan (the Blue Lantern) and Ronan Kent? Do we know the answer already? I can't keep that family tree in my head. They are "Kents," and they are black. Are Jon and Thao-La their ancestors? Maybe Kryptonians live longer than Phaelosians, explaining why we see Kara but not Thao-La. But where is Jon?<br /><br />T.N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35676532691989839692021-10-04T15:32:25.893-04:002021-10-04T15:32:25.893-04:00Fine review, sir, and great point about chain brea...Fine review, sir, and great point about chain breaking being a Superman Family habit. But I shudder at the thought Thao-La - anybody - might replace Kara. They’d never take, but we’d have a few more years/decades without real Supergirl. No ta.
