But maybe, one can hope, she's just being thought of as someone able to resist the malign influence of Earth-3. Even Emerald Knight isn't evil per se - he's just someone with a bad temper who tries to resist the pernicious influence of his ring, and seems redeemable.<br /><br />Fortunately she does still get many positive depictions - like in Bendis's and now in Johnson's Superman stories.<br /><br />I think it's mostly intended as a surprise - a plot twist pretty carefully guarded, not appearing on any covers or solicitations. Though many people spotted Luthor's assistant, it's been a long time since Supergirl has had an eyeglass-wearing unassuming secret identity in the comics. And who else would be able to seriously challenge Ultraman or Superwoman? I wonder if the average reader would think "Oh, this means Earth-0 Supergirl is a villain", and I even wonder if DC thought very deeply about the implication.<br /><br />She looks like the Supergirl depicted in the Elseworld's Finest story from 1998.<br /><br />T.N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-31991800215559137792021-07-12T15:34:55.943-04:002021-07-12T15:34:55.943-04:00(apologies for the double post, I dropped this int...(apologies for the double post, I dropped this into the wrong string initially)<br /><br />Man DC just loves that Tragic Amish Prom Gown on Supergirl....its sad & hilarious at the same time and emblematic of much DC willfully misunderstands the Maid of Steel.<br />Ummm I may not be up on all the continuity details but insofar as the TV Show was concerned "UltraGirl" was depicted as a Nazi Warlord, so perhaps "this version" of UltraGirl is the direct opposite, i.e. a person of decency and goodwill?<br />Just a counterintuitive thought from me...<br /><br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-78674541407107240282021-07-12T13:53:51.742-04:002021-07-12T13:53:51.742-04:00Casey Jones?

I hope Kara remains both good and, you know, alive. Bostondreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191607695119039965noreply@blogger.com
