    I wonder if this Supergirl will also act super sweet to the point of somewhat nauseating like in the comic?

    Man, Ted's had a tough year so far. I wonder, if someone told him last year that this would happen, would he still have chosen to continue working with OL? Good to see he's taking proper precautions, though.

    I mean, yes. A signal jammer doesn't need to be a mile high with Kirby Dots crackling along its length...

    Come on, you're from the Thirtieth Century. Surely you've seen smaller devices in Brainy's lab?

    And something that makes a faint warbling, humming noise in the background? I know, it's a matter of aesthetics.

    OL, you party pooper. How's he going to become a superhero at this rate? Who's going to be Booster Gold's best bud when he arrives?

    And besides, you found the invisible, super-intelligent monkey. Before it started making its own mad science. Seriously, OL, you're taking all the fun out of scientific progress.

    ...For a good cause, though. And don't forget the fallen angel he fed... There is a difference between them.

    In this facility anyway. What, you though it protected the entire universe? Pfft, Earth is Bullshit, but it ain't that bullshit. Not in this universe anyway...

    True. The sooner you work out how it does what it does, the sooner you can work out how to do similar things...

    But because of the time changes, that would have to have already happened... :eek: Crap.

    I'm sure Brainy will have conniptions about the functions of the design and how it can't possibly do what it does. Or simply declare he's already got something better.

    OL is gung-ho about keeping Earth safe because it's the only planet Humanity (and its cousins) has at the moment.

    Yup. And with only a handful of Humans out there in the big black, one errant planet-killer would mean every species goes bye-bye... :D If it weren't for the thousands of superbeings ready to defend the world against one...

    Well, that's concerning. If someone friendly was coming, they'd have called ahead.

    Brace for incoming Kara in 3...

    (2...) Wait, only Jor-El and Zor-El got anyone clear, didn't they? Could this be an Eradicator unit of some kind?

    (1...) ...Not implausible. But there's still the matter of who it could be.

    Ah, there she is. Must have spent a few seconds standing there in shock before running over. Hope she didn't break the sound barrier in the halls, though. That always makes such a racket.

    Sloppy, Kara. I know this seems important, but so is not killing people you like! By accident!

    Well, good thing there's plenty of Lanterns able to play catcher.

    Following the warp-trail of Kal's pod? Or simply coincidence, I wonder?

    So, big butterfly net construct, or a wicket-keeper's glove?

    Or, you know, coated in kryptonite... Radiation shielding can only work so well...

    Assuming they aren't hostile. This could be some lucky Kryptonian criminal...

    And I doubt Kal-El would be happy about his cousin being put at risk either. And no-one wants an upset Superman.

    Heck, couple of screws, bit of spackle, it'll be good as new. Now, Ted, on the other hand...

    ...Wait, a rocket? As in, conical body, tail fins and...

    Oh god... Here we go again.

    And she talks like an actual comic book character, right down to NO INDOOR VOICE and emphasis on random words... Which universe is this one from?

    OL. Get Hinon on the Ring. Right now. You appear to be having an outbreak of Universe-hoppers!

    So, that happened. Let's just hope it doesn't turn out like the story-arc it seems to be mimicking. On the other hand, now we have a possible culprit for the sniper attack: Xenon. But his plan was stupid, so let's hope Mr Zoat can give it his own spin on things. At any rate, this will be an interesting day for the various Supergirls.:p ...I wonder how the Karas will get along?


    ...bringing the building up to specification wasn't too difficult. (Can't believe everyone missed it.)

    According to an upcoming Krytonian behavioral documentary creatures hailing from Krypton are attracted to yellow stars much like moths are attracted to lamps. Fragments of kryptonite which are first excited such that they produce visible light and second contained in a yellow glass container are being tested for their use in attracting and capturing Kryptonians.

    Now for the update’s content: I am suspicious. With all of the evidence laid out before me, I declare this interloper to be Bizarro Supergirl.
    Case dismissed.


    Edit: Hey Mr Zoat? Did any of the Amazons who left Themyscira die or go missing due to the Sheeda attacks?

    From what's been said, it seems this version of Ted Kord won't become a superhero at all. That doesn't mean he can't still be friends with Booster Gold however.

    Seeing Xenon's motivation, I hope Paul calls him out on how stupid it is. Also, I kinda hope that Paul can somehow get this version to stay long term, since it would be fun to have the Supergirls team up and to save her from her fate if it is the same as in comics if possible.

    Maybe, but it's possible that for such a device to work it needs much bigger parts.

    Zauriel wasn't a fallen Angel then, and Ted also does mad things for a good cause.

    They're both mad.

    That's how you get Injustice.

    The last time e I remember someone doing that in this fuccwad when Pariah introduced himself.

    So the guy is trapped and needs a Supergirl to free him so he can go in killing them.

    Yeah, this makes sense.

    So the sniper was either Fatalist or someone else.

    1. Yahtzee!
    2. I can't wait to see who the mysterious 6th Ranger is.
    3. Sus. Very sus'd.
    4. So that's why their are vids of Supergirl. Guess no Necromancy necessary.
    5. She has the same name as our Kara I assume? Wth.
    6. What's she mean dark?

    If I'd heard of him before just now, it might have been.
    Thank you, corrected.
    While there are frequent visitors to Man's World, none have completely left. No Amazons died, though a few were injured.
    The pod was supposed to open on the surface. Space is darker than the surface.

    Matrix Supergirl. DC's way of cheating their own early post-Crisis rule of 'Superman is the sole survivor of Krypton', by having her be an artificial lifeform made by a 'pocket-universe' Lex Luthor.

    And for future reference if other Supergirls show up: Supergirl (Disambiguation).

    It's an Austin Powers Reference. Specifically, an early scene in 'GoldMember' when Austin is lining up a threesome with 'Japanese' twins Fook Yu and Fook Mi.

    Though in this universe Noriel took her place since they were the ones that merged with Linda Danvers.

    So, to sum up, we presently have five Supergirls or equivalent now:
    1. Kara Zor-El of Krypton-16: Full-blood Kryptonian, rescued from her damaged pod by OL. The original and native version. Comparable power to local Superman but not as interested in donning the cape.
    2. Loriel of Earth-16, a fusion of human teenager Linda Danvers and the angel Noriel (replacing the Matrix Entity.) Flying Brick, possibly with flame-related angelic powers? Currently working through being an angel-human hybrid, while serving with the Team?
    3. Angelika Kent of Earth-10 (or a variant.) Human-Kryptonian hybrid made by Nazi superscience, ended up here due to space-time wedgie. Now trying to be less of a racist...
    4. Dana Dearden of Earth-16. Human reporter empowered by magic coins with abilities similar to Kryptonians. Has spent a couple of years in the Thirtieth Century. Currently back in Twenty-First Century for unclear reasons related to Legion of Superheroes.
    5. Kara Zor-El of an unknown universe, possibly a dimension-lost pre-Crisis version. Presumably much stronger than local variant. How she got here is not yet known.
    That looks to be all of them in this universe, for now. The only significant variant missing so far is Cir-El, from some early-2000's time-weirdness stories. :confused: And that's just the most common variants... (Seriously, there's even a LEGO Supergirl out there.)

    She does have holy fire at her disposal and is a member of the Team. Also, she's technically a human with an angel's memories, not an actual angel.

    The picture is taken from the Supergirl series, where a cosmic bad guy diverts pre-crisis Supergirl to New Earth.

    Pre-crisis kryptonians have a 1% genetic difference from New Earth kryptonians, by the by.

    It was actually a dark storyline. Rather than send Kara to her death, Linda went to pre-crisis and married Superman, had a daughter.

    Then Spectre forced her to let the original storyline play out, so Linda lost her husband and daughter in one fell swoop.

    And that was the end of Linda Danvers, until she showed up as a nigh-demonic figure in Fallen Angel and showed up fully corrupted by her rage in Reign in Hell.

    Yep she does have fire magic at her disposal, and probably other forms of magic as well.

    Though I'm not so sure about the flying brick part since I don't know if she's shown how strong she is physically, but she can fly.

    And for Noriel, I don't if they died and went to Heaven after Linda gained their memories, or if they were somehow permanently destroyed.

    In story it's said that she ascended after dying in the ritual that copied her memories and transferred them into Linda.

    Indeed, though I'm not sure why you quoted me? o_O I was answering Doccer's question about 'Matrix' Supergirl... Maybe you intended to quote transhumansage's question about the source of Mr Zoat's image?

    Still, the storyline ('Many Happy Returns' which I also linked in my commentary post earlier) did have some funny moments. Not least amongst them:
    • Pre-Crisis Kara trying to push Earth by basically doing a flying handstand against the ground, much to Linda's bemusement...
    • The wedding scene with pre-crisis Superman, complete with Lois Lane and Lana Lang weeping and pleading, "Please let it be a dream, a hoax or an imaginary tale!" All three things were common story tropes in the fifties comics.
    • the first (and thus far only) canonical appearance of Pink Kryptonite, implied to do peculiar things to a Kryptonian's sexuality (with Supes complimenting a nervous Jimmy on his bow-tie and a display project in a very.. odd way...)

    Honestly I think ‘heroic’ tech-hoarding would be a bigger problem.
    Inefficient tech is better than unique tech.
