Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-118

The Dark Knights of Steel series, the main series for Earth-118, is sort of a combination of the classic Elseworlds stories Last Family of Krypton and Superman: Kal. In the Last Family of Krypton, we explore a world where Jor-El and Lara joined their son in his exodus to Earth, and in Superman: Kal we see the DC universe explored in medieval times. In Dark Knights of Steel, the El family crashes on the outskirts of a kingdom, later to be revealed as the Kingdom of the Waynes. The story leads to the El family taking over the monarchy and ruling that land and throughout the series we are introduced to other kingdoms in this world and we get to see a large population of otherwise familiar DC characters reimagined as knights and wizards and whatnot.

One of these characters introduced, is Zala Jor-El who is the son of Jor-El and Lara and younger sister to Kal-El. She is the princess and youngest member of the house of El and spends much of her time with her girlfriend Diana on Themyscira which is where we first meet her in Dark Knights of Steel #2. Zala is a rather fun-loving character and generally pacifistic. She was born on earth after the destruction of Krypton so she has no ties to that planet or lifestyle, but being the daughter of Jor-El and Lara she is a full blooded Kryptonian and has all the powers that come with that under a yellow sun.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. The Princess Zala Jor-El is casually sitting in her throne while balancing a sword on her finger tip. There is a beam of light shining through a window in the top right. Behind Zala is a tapestry with the House of El symbol and styled after the flag of Krypton with rainbow colors used. The top right corner has a motif of the El symbol with a 118 on top of it.
