Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-47

This universe has been know by many names, using both 47 and 72 as numerical values and also existing as part of the Dreamworld, to me it is best described as Earth-Prez. Starting with a very short lived series starting in 1972, Prez, we are introduced to a world that, soon after amendment 26 allowed 18 year-olds to vote, has dropped the legal age to run for presidency to the age of 18. The main character we follow in this universe is President Prez Rickards who was know for being adept at fixing clocks, wanting to help bring peace, and being elected as president of the united states when he was just 18. The universe has only come up a few times since the initial Prez series, but in more recent years the “Love Syndicate” has also been included along with Prez and it’s generally seen as a 70s era earth.

In 2015, as part of the DC You initiative, Prez got a reimagining. This series is set in the near future of 2048, and follows the 18 year old Beth Ross. Beth stumbles into the presidency after a viral video of hers leaks and the voting (that takes place on twitter in the year 2048) pushes her to victory as a write in candidate. Beth starts her presidency by going around the world and apologizing to other countries on the behalf of her predecessors and spends most her time as president trying to clean up everyone else’s messes and tries her best to work for those in need and against those in power.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Beth Ross is seated at her presidential desk in the White House Oval Office. Beth has her feet up on her desk while drinking a slushie and looking at her phone. Her desk also has an overflowing wastebin beside it and a stack of paper on top of it. The top right has a motif of the Prez logo with a 47 on top of it.
