Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-22

Kingdom Come is a fantastic story created by Mark Waid and Alex Ross and is the predominant storyline for the universe designated as Earth-22. Originally, as a Hypertime reality, the universe was designated instead as Earth-96. The universe as a whole features a dark future with heroes and villains fighting in the streets and a disregard for human life. Thanks to the sacrifice of Captain Marvel, this dark age of heroes was able to come to a close and allow for a new age of young heroes to step up and lead to a better future.

This is not a post about the universe as a whole, but about a single character; Supergirl. Supergirl of Earth-22 doesn’t show up frequently or in any major depth but she is present in Kingdom Come #1 and has shown up in cameos in the continuing stories set in this universe. This universe presents a Supergirl that has left the 20th century behind and made her home among the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century. In the 30th century she has settled down with Brainiac 5 and had a daughter aptly named Brainiac’s Daughter. The rest of Kara’s life in this universe isn’t shown but the rest of this universe having so many nods to pre-crisis DC it is likely that this Supergirl’s origin matches those of the pre-crisis Supergirl who also had quite a few stories with the Legion.

As with all the Supergirl in the Multiverse drawings on this site, this is my own artwork. This digital drawing depicts the Supergirl of Earth-22 hovering down towards the camera with her cape and hair flowing behind her. On her left hand is a wedding ring with a small detail of the Brainiac symbol to represent her marriage to Brainiac 5. The background shows the 30th century Metropolis with the Legion of Super-Heroes headquarters shown prominently. A motif of Supergirl’s symbol is in the top right with a 22 on top of it.
