Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-25

Located 25 wavelengths from Earth-0 exists a world full of America’s Best Heroes, this is Earth-25. Earth-25, or Earth-ABC as it’s sometimes known, is home to the heroes originally published under the America’s Best Comics imprint like Tom Strong, Promethea, Cobweb, Johnny Future, and the subject of today’s post; Tesla Strong. America’s Best Comics began publishing in 1999 under the Wildstorm imprint and was a home for many original stories by Alan Moore like Tom Strong, Promethea, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The line would eventually end at Moore’s hand in the pages of Promethea a few years after. While the line as a whole dried up around this point, it wouldn’t be marked totally defunct until 2010 when Wildstorm shut down. DC, having acquired Wildstorm and it’s properties, then took over rights to the publishing rights of the comics and has since used Tom Strong and the Strongmen in a few stories most notably when they showed up in the pages of The Terrifics a few years back.

Tesla Strong, while youthful looking, was actually born in the 1950s and thanks to the Attabar Teru plant Goloka Root her aging has slowed dramatically allowing her to stay youthful and live longer than most humans. Aside from the extended lifespan, Tesla doesn’t have any powers but that doesn’t make her any less formidable than any other Science Hero. She is vastly intelligent and through training with the rest of the Strongmen she has peak human perfection. Her parent’s are Tom Strong, this world’s most prominent hero, and Dhalua, a native from Attabar Teru. Tesla makes her first appearance in Tom Strong #1 and continues to have many adventures alongside her Dad and by herself in the pages of that same comic. She often takes over patrolling her hometown of Millennium City when her father is off planet or otherwise preoccupied and has since settled down with a Salamander, fiery beings that thrive in hot climates, she met in a volcano named Val Var Garm.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts this is my own artwork. This drawing depicts Tesla Strong with a jetpack strapped to her back. She is flying through the air above Millennium City shown below including cable cars and The Stronghold. There is a motif of the Strongmen’s white triangle in the top right with a number 25 on top of it.
