Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-5

Earth-5 is the home to Captain Marvel and the rest of the SHAZAM family, a group of heroes that have been bestowed upon them magical powers of SHAZAM. The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.

The Earth-5 Supergirl is Mary Marvel. Her civilian identity is Mary Broomfield, although she has sometimes gone by the name Mary Batson. She is the biological sister of Billy Batson, also known as Captain Marvel or SHAZAM. She first appeared in the Fawcett Comics published Captain Marvel Adventures #18 from 1942. In 1972 DC licensed, then later purchased outright, the Fawcett characters to publish in a new comic for DC SHAZAM #1 (1973). Mary Marvel and the rest of the Marvel Family have since been a part of the greater DC Multiverse as Earth-S and after Crisis on Infinite Earths would merge with a handful of other universes to become New Earth.

More recently during the Lazarus Planet event, from DC Comics in 2023, Mary loses her original SHAZAM powers and is granted new powers from Hippolyta where her new powers are all from goddesses. The agility of Selene, the strength of Hippolyta, the stamina of Artemis, the flight of Zephyrus, the invulnerability of Aurora, and the wisdom of Minerva.

As with all the Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Mary Marvel flying through the sky. In the background on the left you can see the Rock of Eternity emitting a bolt of lightning that is striking Mary. A motif of Mary Marvel’s symbol is shown in the top right with a number 5 over it.
