Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-30

Earth-30 is the home of Red Son Superman. The story of Red Son has a simple premise, what if Kal-El landed in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas. The story was initially told across 3 prestige format issues under the Elseworlds imprint in 2003. The story opens and closes fairly well without much room for any sort of sequel, but because of the iconic nature and look of this universe’s Superman, he does show up quite frequently in stories dealing with the multiverse.

Most often when needing to create a Supergirl for this series, I come up with a backstory for how a Supergirl may exist into the universe. I considered the possibility of a Zor-L also existing, and also trying to save the future the same way Jor-L does at the end of Red Son #3. There was also a Red Daughter in the Supergirl show that came into existence via some black Kryptonite. I do think however the best example of a Supergirl landing in the Soviet Union already exists in the pages of Bombshells. Seeing as we already looked at the Bombshells Supergirl a few weeks ago, I decided instead to take the iconic look of Red Son Superman and apply it to the Girl of Steel, and we’re left with Kara Starikov, Red Daughter.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. An homage to Supergirl (vol. 2) #13, we see Red Daughter, hands on her hips and standing in front of the flag of the Soviet Union. The background is striped in shades of red reminiscent of propaganda posters. The top right features a motif of Red Daughter’s symbol with a 30 in it.
