Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-2

Earth-2 is the home of the JSA and other golden age heroes of DC Comics. First being shown as an alternate reality in Flash #123 where the golden age Flash comes to Earth-1. Earth-2 would get many other appearances after this including a handful of series including the book that was this character’s first appearance.

The Earth-2 Supergirl is Power Girl. She first appeared in All-Star Comics #58 which was also the return of the JSA in their own comic after only making guest appearances since the change of All-Star Comics in 1951 to All-Star Western.

Power Girl shares similarities to her Earth-0 counterpart, she too came from Krypton and is the cousin of her Earth’s Superman. However, she does differ, her name is instead Kara Zor-L and instead of being launched from Krypton as a teenager, she left the planet as a baby and her Symbioship kept her in stasis as she took her long journey to earth and as she was in stasis she learned of Kryptonian life from a virtual reality program built into the ship.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Power Girl standing in the foreground. A city scape is shown in the background including Starrware Industries at sunset. In the top right a motif of the Supergirl symbol is shown with white and a tan circle to depict the iconless costume she wears. A number 2 is on top of the symbol.
