Or to go back to your list of Supergirl <br />rogues you listed before the pilot aired, any of those?<br /><br />In either case, thanks for sharing this. Puts a grin on my face that "[Mxyzptlk] is such a pest that even <br />sweet, kind Supergirl loses her patience." I don't doubt for a second Melissa B can do fierce, I wonder<br />how she does "ROYALLY PISSED!!"<br /><br />...and lets not forget the inane Mxyzptlk fun in Landry/Walker's run of Adventures in the 8th Grade!<br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-17749606360122591002016-12-06T12:36:07.737-05:002016-12-06T12:36:07.737-05:00Kara looks cute as a teenaged bride in her veil an...Kara looks cute as a teenaged bride in her veil and cape Jim Mooney nails it again...but she had much more decisive tangles with Myxie where she did not have to rely on her Daddykins to rescue her. I seem to recall two mix ups with Myxie in the Adventure Comics run....The Nice Thing re Myxyztpllk is that he shows both cousins to such advantage, Superman gets to betray a sense of humor while Young Ms Kara gets to show her innate braininess by outwitting the Inane Interdimensional Pixie.<br />Hopefully Team Berlanti will cleave towards that Supergirl Trope and not write this as yet another "ALEX SAVES THE DAY" teleplay (I am getting sick of that meme quite frankly, its not "The Adventures of Alex Danvers" after all).<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-55988082793117964792016-12-06T09:06:53.002-05:002016-12-06T09:06:53.002-05:00"everyone's favorite 5th dimensional imp,..."everyone's favorite 5th dimensional imp,"<br /><br />Superman: (folding arms) Not mine.<br /><br />Supergirl: (clenching fists) And defitely not mine!<br /><br />More seriously, when I heard about this, I thought: "Mr. Mxy? This may be interesting". Then I thought: "Will they ever use a Supergirl villain -other than Reactron and Bizarrogirl- instead of borrowing her cousin's?". And then I thought: "Oh, well, at least Mxy has pestered Kara since the Silver Age".<br /><br />I remember that time Mr. Irritating Imp amped Kara's powers up and removed her weakness to Kryptonite, expecting to put Superman down. How ironic Clark thought he should become his cousin's sidekick.<br /><br />Moving on. This issue was definitely very funny. Kara losing her patience and chewing Mxy out? Very funny. Mxy feeling so awed by Supergirl's tsundere-ness he pops the question? Hilarious.<br /><br />... Or creepy.<br /><br />From what I can tell, Siegel wrote Kara very well, even if he didn't create her. I find this ironically amusing because I've come across some fans who want Superman to be the last survivor of Krypton -again-, want to eliminate all "rip-offs" and declare that DC should respect and follow Siegel/Shuster's intent and Byrne's vision. Still Siegel wrote Supergirl stories, including one in where Kara became Superman's sucessor.<br /><br />I always love when you review back-issues. May I suggest Action Comics #252, Elseworld's Finest and World's Finest #169 -first Kara/Babs team-up and another MXY story!- for future back-issue reviews?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
