Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-6

Earth-6 or better know as Just Imagine. Earth-6 was a short series of prestige format one shot comics with the premise of Stan Lee, prolific Marvel writer and creator of many characters from that universe, reimagining a handful of DC comics heroes. The series was published from 2001 to 2002 and was comprised of 13 stories. There was a one shot special in 2022 called Tales From Earth-6 that was put out to celebrate Stan Lee’s 100th birthday that further explored the universe.

The Earth-6 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 Just Imagine stories and created my own backstory and character design.

Earth-6’s Superman is Salden who (during the events of Just Imagine Superman) stole a test prototype spaceship that uses a new element that can bend spacetime. Salden later (During Just Imagine Crisis) also landed back on Krypton and stole another sample of this element now know as Kryptonite. Salden, after landing on Earth became known as the hero Superman. My idea for a backstory involves Karron, the Super Girl from Krypton, being tasked by the Kryptonian government to follow Salden to Earth with a new spaceship and with a more advanced flight suit than Salden had, and bring Salden back to Krypton to pay for his crimes where he would be sentenced to the Phantom Zone.

As with all of my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Super Girl of Earth-6 in a costume designed with elements of Salden’s and other Kryptonian costumes and also depicts the Supermanor that Salden lives in on Earth as shown in Tales from Earth-6. In the top right there is a motif of the Supergirl S and a 6 on top of it.
