Her adopted parents are Army. Superwoman states she is not Kryptonian in the last issue. Carol Lee Carter does not know that she is adopted she believes the US military gave her powers. Her adopted father capitalized on her abilities when he discovered them and has used her. She looks like she works for Krypton but she is a spy for earth. They are tring to find out why the Kryptonians are here and what kind of threat they might be.

Which means that it probably isn't her at all. :)<BR/><BR/>These are all interesting theories which I need to investigate. I wish my Supergirl-fu were stronger.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to everyone who has contributed. I have a lot to think over.<BR/><BR/>http://diana-fan.blogspot.com/Diana_Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954295277680175374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-38460932157600546402008-12-03T20:31:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:31:00.000-05:00Alura was my first guess.

As you said the Kristen parallel is so strong. I'm guessing this is who Gates said when he said 'Its not who you think'<BR/><BR/>Linda. I think tehre is more chance of her being Flamebird.<BR/><BR/>Evil Clone. If she was like Galatea.Heck even called Galatea I could love it. I like a villain that causes supergirl to use her head. Thats why I love reactron, she wanted to see how he worked rather than beat him to death. In JLU Kara used her head to beat Galatea by frying her.<BR/><BR/>Thara. Well thats building something for sure. She's a front runner after her unresolved cold greeting.<BR/><BR/>Lesla Lar. I'm all for the classic supergirl foes being reborn. I don't think this is Lesla's time though. To be honest I want to see Blackstarr first.<BR/><BR/>Split Kara. I never noticed that before. However she is coming in from the 31st century which you can see in the hole rather than going out. It looks like a bad attempt at a reflection but what is she being reflected in?<BR/><BR/>Front runners for me are Alura and TharaNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232828708855932756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50291370889084335452008-12-03T13:43:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:43:00.000-05:00I love Linda Dancers.

But I really don't think it's her; I agree with TalOs, in that she has a way better chance of being Flamebird... <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I find myself wondering if Powergirl is going to play into New Krypton, or if they're going to officially bring her into the Superman Family, since they've nailed down her origin now (once again, thanks to Geoff Johns)... I'm not saying she's Superwoman, I'm just wondering what's going on there.<BR/><BR/>But I don't want it to be Alura, if for no other reason than we could all see it coming. That does not make for the best story-telling.<BR/><BR/>--Yota.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-90422601149277253572008-12-02T23:31:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:31:00.000-05:00UGH...I can't make a decision!! LOL. Most of thes...UGH...I can't make a decision!! LOL. Most of these are credible candidates, but I just don't know enough yet to make a vote. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm throwing out my earlier suggestion of Cat since this Superwoman did appear to have superhearing and understanding of Kryptonese. I now think this Superwoman is definitely Kryptonian at the very least. <BR/><BR/>While at the moment Alura does seem the most viable candidate - Kryptonian, white cape, long hair (since it was in the shadows, we don't know that it was necessarily brown or blonde), wanting to make Kara feel like she has no use as a hero and should go back to Kandor - I just can't be confident enough to absolutely put my vote behind her.<BR/><BR/>I definitely do NOT think it is Linda Danvers mainly because of the Kryptonian requirement. Like I stated above, this Superwoman clearly had superhearing which enabled her to hear something in Kryptonese. Linda would not have superhearing, nor would she be able to understand Kryptonese. I also honestly do not think Johns and Gates have any plans to bring Linda Danvers back into the super-mythos. Like I've said before (and I saw someone else also make this point), it also wouldn't make much sense to bring Linda back since Kara is now going by that name.<BR/><BR/>I think if you're going to stick to continuity or paying homage to continuity, it should be Kristen Wells (Kirsta Wor-Ul). To have a separate Kristen Wells and a separate Superwoman doesn't seem right to me. However, her short white hair and the "she's not who you think she is" comments make me think it's simply not her.<BR/><BR/>Lesla is another leading candidate based on the hair length. <BR/><BR/>Thara seems a viable candidate, but her hair is too short in her appearances so far. <BR/><BR/>I really don't want it to be the split-Kara or a Kara clone because I really think that is just a lame route to go. <BR/><BR/>And this whole "friend to the house of El" but also being on a "faces of evil" cover is throwing me for a loop too. I don't know how those two facts can make sense together...UGH. <BR/><BR/>Well...this definitely makes for a GREAT mystery and makes people want to keep reading the series to find out.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-83525170255438916572008-12-02T20:47:00.000-05:002008-12-02T20:47:00.000-05:00i can't quite bring myself to think of a 'friend t...<I> i can't quite bring myself to think of a 'friend to the house of el' as being a villain...</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post.<BR/><BR/>It is tough to find someone suitable to be an El-friend and appear on a Faces of Evil cover.<BR/><BR/>Maybe she acts villainous but with good intentions?Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-3330799385872522032008-12-02T20:46:00.000-05:002008-12-02T20:46:00.000-05:00Lastly, let's not forget that upon releasing the n...<I> Lastly, let's not forget that upon releasing the news of Superwoman debuting by both Mr. Johns and Gates they both equally claimed at the time that it's NOT anyone who we might think from prior existing Superman lore who will be revealed to be under the hood and mask, remember? <BR/><BR/>Ergo, I believe Superwoman's really our "Rachel".</I><BR/><BR/>I don't remember reading them say that Superwoman is someone we haven't seen yet.

But now, I am not so sure. It wouldn't make much sense.<BR/><BR/>- Alura is a strong possibility, but it seems too obvious. And Superwoman has brown hair...<BR/>- I think she must have been involved in the Brainiac, Atlas or New Krypton stroylines. For this reason, I'd rule out Karsta Wor-Ul and Lesla Lar.<BR/>- She understands kryptonian, so she can't be Linda.<BR/>- Evil clone / Split Kara --> We have seen something like this not so long ago.<BR/><BR/>I still vote for Alura, though.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572727833462296586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-12021032706714646732008-12-02T10:37:00.000-05:002008-12-02T10:37:00.000-05:00i can't quite bring myself to think of a 'friend t...i can't quite bring myself to think of a 'friend to the house of el' as being a villain...Heath Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334282325970098007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-1607760180665859362008-12-02T10:22:00.000-05:002008-12-02T10:22:00.000-05:00Hmmm, I actually doubt it's Alura now, and I don't...Hmmm, I actually doubt it's Alura now, and I don't believe it's anyone we've either seen or have yet to see as of yet from Kandor itself come further issues. (In other words, I believe it's some one we've recently seen in the comics 'New Krypton' arc as of late but NOT in the actual vicinity of Kandor face on profile wise) Or for that matter the split Kara from <I>WW III</I> arc or a cloned Kara by Alura either. (I strongly doubt that Zor-El would have willingly had a hand in doing such a thing here) and definitely not Linda Danvers. (She has to be Flamebird)<BR/><BR/>However in having said all of that anj, do you think it's possible that the Science Police's own newest recruitment refering to herself as "Rachel" (Y'know the one that Agent Liberty was being interviewed by) could actually secretly be this Kandorian double agent (who like Commander Gor has learned to speak proper English language in no time flat as well as use that knowledge to her advantage) who may just in fact be our mysterious "Superwoman" herself here? (I honestly don't believe it's Thara Ak-Var under that hood and mask. It'd be too predicable in the end.) Compare "Rachel's" close up profile itself to that of what we got of Mr. Middleton's depiction of Superwoman as having looking like also close up facing front on wise come his #38 cover itself: <B>Superwoman:</B> Brown hair, <B>Rachel:</B> Brown hair, <B>Superwoman:</B> blue eyes, <B>Rachel:</B> blue eyes, and just look at the particular face shape of "Rachel"'s as well as it's features itself, it actually looks like spot on to that of Mr. Middleton's own depiction of his Superwoman at that in the end! <BR/><BR/>Lastly, let's not forget that upon releasing the news of Superwoman debuting by both Mr. Johns and Gates they both equally claimed at the time that it's NOT anyone who we might think from prior existing Superman lore who will be revealed to be under the hood and mask, remember? <BR/><BR/>Ergo, I believe Superwoman's really our "Rachel". Especially after the weird banter and observations that Agent Liberty made about her, and her age among other during her time having interviewed him.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, that's my theory and i'm sticking with it. Heh. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-19676040736681687292008-12-02T08:42:00.000-05:002008-12-02T08:42:00.000-05:00For me Alura packs the maxiumum emotional impact.....For me Alura packs the maxiumum emotional impact...mother versus daughter just has tons of drama to it. Given her presumptuous airs it seems like something she'd do, k-dementia or no k-dementia. So I'm voting for Alura simply because she has the most story potential as Superwoman.<BR/>Failing, that then maybe Lesla Lar as a sort of ambitious surrogate daughter to Z & A, someone intent on proving herself Kara's superior.<BR/><BR/>John FeerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
