Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-24

A world in the midst of a war, overrun by Nazis and monsters. This world is Earth-24 and the heroes of this universe are The Bombshells. A heroic team formed by Amanda Waller in the late 1930s to help stop the continuing threats brought about by World War II. The Bombshells are all female heroes from many nations and at least 2 alien worlds that first appeared as a DC Direct series of figures in the mid 2010s before launching as a digital first series in 2015.

Supergirl first appeared in the Bombshells universe in digital chapter 3 which would later be included in issue 1 of the print run of the series. Kara Starikov landed in Russia and was raised alongside Kortni Duginovna as sisters. Kara was born on Krypton and has the same powers generally associated with Kryptonians but the Krypton on this universe isn’t show much at all. What we do see is Kara and Kortni as young girls in Russia training alongside the Night Witches before Kara’s powers are revealed in an attempt to save her sister. The Russian government, after seeing this display, enlist the two sisters as Supergirl and Star Girl and use them as propaganda for the Russian military. On a mission, Kara realizes that a supposed Nazi encampment they are set to destroy is actually home to Russian citizens. Kara and Kortni then desert the Night Witches and the Russian government and in the process of fleeing they end up on an American ship and meet Amanda Waller who enlists them into the Bombshells.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. It is a digital drawing that depicts Bombshells Supergirl flying while shooting her heat vision into the lower right of the page. The background is full of explosions and fire. A motif in the top right has Supergirl’s S symbol and a number of ”24”.
