Personally I like John's idea of Supergirl forming her own team with Batgirl. I'd like to see Mary Marvel added to that roster.<BR/><BR/>I hope the other superheroes turn a blind eye to Supergirl violating the UN mandate, and not try to physically apprehend her because we have seen too much of that already.

If that is true, it will add fire to the Cat/kara feud as it will appear that Kara feels she is 'above the law'.<BR/><BR/>And I think she will be in costume but will be in hiding as Linda when the 'authorities' arrive (whoever they may be).Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30669821521907038272009-03-03T07:24:00.000-05:002009-03-03T07:24:00.000-05:00Yeah rendering Kara the ultimate illegal alien mak...<I>Yeah rendering Kara the ultimate illegal alien makes her a difficult recruit for any earthly super-team.

I don't think Hal Jordan or Mister Terrific are going to be hunting Kara. My guess is they will look the other way. To make a lousy analogy, it is like how Tony Stark conveniently ignored Bucky as Captain America after Civil War despite Bucky not being registered.<BR/><BR/>As for a team affiliation, I don't think there are any other teams left for her to join.<BR/><BR/>Having Kara work now and then with Oracle would be very cool. I can only hope that DC doesn't put Babs back in the Batgirl outfit instead of keeping her as Oracle.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85949551893701099422009-03-03T07:20:00.000-05:002009-03-03T07:20:00.000-05:00The "Linda Lang" secret id I can deal with but in ...<I>The "Linda Lang" secret id I can deal with but in having had said that I'm really not liking what Robinson is describing come plans for Supergirl in 09 being "Superman's secret weapon" apparently.</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post.<BR/><BR/>I think this could work in the short run, so I am trying to be optimistic. My guess is that she will be able to act openly as Supergirl. I doubt that other superheroes will be vying to slap the cuffs on her. But should the 'army' or some other group try to confront her, she can slip into Linda Lang mode to hide out.<BR/><BR/><I>Oh and that last bit about Justice League being changed to a 6 issue mini has me steaming right now!
