Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-1

Earth-1, also sometimes written as Earth One. Earth One was a collection of OGN (Original Graphic Novels) that DC published from 2010 to 2021. There are a total of 13 OGN including 3 based on Supergirl. This universe was mostly based around creating new, more modern versions of DC Comics characters.

The Earth-1 Supergirl is not a character that was introduced as part of the series. Because of this, I have taken some aspects of the stories and characters as presented in the Earth One stories and created my own backstory and character design.

This Supergirl is Kara Zod-El, daughter of Zod-El who was depicted as Superman’s uncle in this universe. Zod-El was part of a group of Kryptonians that were exploring space to colonize other planets. My idea for a backstory involves her being born on one of these colonies on a planet called Argo. Either because Argo is going to be destroyed, or because she hears of her father’s death, she is rocketed to earth to meet her cousin. The plot would center around Kal trying to teach her the ways of Earth and her trying to hunt down her father’s killer to take revenge.

As with all of my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Supergirl of Earth-1 in a costume designed with elements of Kal-El and Zod-El’s costumes and also depicts some of Earth One’s Metropolis in the background. In the top right there is a motif of the Supergirl S and a white 1 on top of it.
