Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-332

In a surprising sequence of events, the knowledge of this universe to inclusion into Supergirl in the Multiverse was quite accelerated. For those unaware, this project is fairly well planned in advance and often does not get changed from my initial plans. Season 1 of Supergirl in the Multiverse was clearly defined by the Multiversity Guidebook and somewhere near the end of season 1, I publicly showed my list for the entirety of what universes would be showing up in season 2. However, Earth-332 was not on my radar at all until I was working my way through Supergirl in the Silver Age Omnibus Volume 2 a few months back and instantly fell in love with the story told in Action Comics 332 and 333. So much so I nearly immediately wrote a blog post about it (How Superwoman trained Superboy) and this was just 2 months ago. So if I’m so ahead of my game and have my lists planned out months ahead of time how did it happen that I was able to slot Earth-332 in in the middle of an ongoing year? The short answer is that when I made my list I only accounted for 3 July entries not 4 (an error that can be seen in my list screenshots that I showed in my Season 1 Recap) and when realizing that I had a free week I immediately filled it with one of my new favorites.

I did cover the stories that this universe includes in the aforementioned How Superwoman trained Superboy post, so please check out that post for a more thorough dive into the world. To briefly recap however, this universe explored a universe where Kara Zor-El and Kal-El switched places. Kara was the baby born on Krypton, and rocketed away soon after her birth and moment’s before the planet’s destruction. Whereas Kal was born later on the miraculously saved Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton by Jor-El’s invention of a protective bubble over the city. In addition to that change, it was also not just Kara that rocketed away when the planet exploded, but the whole Zor-El family who made it to earth and integrated into a small farming town called Smallville as the Zorelles. Carole would grow up to become the hero Superwoman, while working as a private investigator with Jimmy Olsen as her day job. She would later encounter a rocket that originated from the city of Argo containing her cousin Kal-El, who Carole would place in Midvale Orphanage and he would become Superwoman’s secret weapon, Superboy.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Carole Zorelle is walking out the door of her Private investigation practice while ripping her shirt open to reveal she is Superwoman. The door behind her reads “Private Investigators Carole Zorelle James Olsen”. The top right corner has a motif of Superwoman’s S symbol with a 332 on it.
