Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-20

Earth-20 is home to the Society of Super-Heroes. A superhero team based on classic pulp era heroes of the early 20th century. The team is lead by Doc Fate, an amalgamation of Doctor Fate and Doc Savage, who seems to be the focal hero of the universe. While mostly unmapped, Earth-20 does have a featured title in the Multiversity line that really helps give a look into the characters and lore of the universe; The Multiversity: Society of Super-Heroes – Conquerors from the Counter-World. Doc Fate, as mentioned earlier, is the premier hero of the universe and lives in a windowless skyscraper in Manhattan. As a wielder of the Helmet of Nabu, Kent Nelson possesses all the powers generally associated with Doctor Fate along with being an expert hand-to-hand combatant and marksman.

While the universe has not been mapped enough to have a Supergirl analogue, I have taken what we know of the prominent hero, Doc Fate, and created Laryn Nelson, Kid Fate. Laryn Nelson first appears in Countdown to Mystery #1 from 2007. Countdown to Mystery also serves as the origin of Kent V. Nelson, a relative of the original Doctor Fate. This first issue shows Kent acquiring the Helmet of Nabu and he witnesses some flashbacks including one of his daughter, Laryn. In this universe my thought is that the Earth-20 Kent Nelson also has a daughter named Laryn who is a huge fan of her father’s heroics and creates a costume in hopes of being his adventuring sidekick, Kid Fate.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. This drawing depicts Laryn Nelson, Kid Fate, standing on a red rug with her hands on her hips. She is wearing a homemade costume reminecient of the Earth-20 Doc Fate. There is a floor length mirror in the background along with a poster of Doc Fate and the Society of Super-Heroes Comic. The top right has a motif of Kid Fate’s symbol with a number 20 on top of it.
