Appearing alongside its multiversal counterpart of Earth-20 in The Multiversity: The Society of Super-Heroes #1, we have Earth-40. While Earth-20 had mostly heroic characters that were amalgamations of golden age dc heroes and classic pulp heroes, Earth-40 seems to pick up the slack of villainy that the former universe seemed to lack. The prominent characters that we are introduced to are Sinestro, Felix Faust, Parallax, Blockbuster, Lady Shiva, and their leader; Vandal Savage. Their story generally only involves the conflict between the two universes, and aside from these villainous fiends being the leaders of their world, their characterizations and looks are relatively unchanged from their Earth-0 counterparts which leads us to this universe’s counterpart to the girl of steel.
With Vandal Savage as the leader of the Society of Super-Villains, we can look to one of his many children; Scandal Savage. Scandal, sometimes called Marquise, is the daughter of the immortal conqueror, and she first appears in Villains United alongside the Secret Six and is often associated with that crew. Scandal herself is fairly estranged from her father and even worked with the Six at one point in mission to take out Vandal Savage himself. While Scandal doesn’t show up herself in Earth-40, as I mentioned earlier the characters shown are fairly consistent with their Earth-0 counterparts and its very likely that Earth-40’s Vandal Savage also had plenty of heirs across his immortal life.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Scandal Savage is hanging off the side of a train. It is a rainy night ant the train is overlooking a cliff. Lighting is striking in the background. A motif in the top right has a silver circle, representing Scandal, with a 40 on top of it.
