Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-41

The initial wave of Image comics that launched in the mid 90s included titles such as Youngblood, Spawn, WildC.A.T.s, and Savage Dragon, among others. These universes formed a connected universe much like Marvel’s and DC’s respective connected universes. DC Comic’s Earth-41 is a pastiche of this universe. For this week’s Supergirl in the Multiverse I’m looking most specifically at Savage Dragon, who has a counterpart in the DC version of the universe called “Dino-Cop”. Earth-41 does have a specific Superman analogue, Kal’amity, who is an amalgamation of Kal-El and Kh’ambt, however I feel that Savage Dragon’s longevity and legacy that has lasted to this day does give it a bit of an edge. Also Savage Dragon and Superman had 2 crossover comics that came out so it seems like fair game.

The Supergirl of this universe comes in the form of Amy Dragon. The original Savage Dragon was the emperor of the Krylan alien race before losing his memory when arriving on Earth. On Earth, with amnesia, Dragon lives his life as normal. The title takes place in real time and in the 30ish years since his introduction, Dragon has had a son named Malcom who has taken up the role of Savage Dragon and has started a family of his own. Malcom and his wife, Maxine, are raising 3 kids together; Tyrone, Jackson, and Amy. Amy, after being born didn’t immediately show any signs of being Krylan but would soon grow her head fin in and turn green. Amy stands apart from other Krylans in the fact that she has 5 toes on each foot as opposed to 2 as is standard, and also she is the first female born “Chosen One” which refers to the Krylans who have regenerative abilities and enhanced strength.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Amy Dragon is shown in the foreground with her hands on her hips and a large smile across her face. A large hole in a wall almost definitely caused by Amy, is behind her with rubble piled up all around her. A room with a couch can be seen through the hole. The top right features a green circle with a fin representing the Dragon family with a 41 on top of it.
