The Daring new Blog of Supergirl

Earth-1, also sometimes written as Earth One. Earth One was a collection of OGN (Original Graphic Novels) that DC published from 2010 to 2021. There are a total of 13 OGN including 3 based on Supergirl. This universe was mostly based around creating new, more modern versions of DC Comics characters.

The Earth-1 Supergirl is not a character that was introduced as part of the series. Because of this, I have taken some aspects of the stories and characters as presented in the Earth One stories and created my own backstory and character design.

This Supergirl is Kara Zod-El, daughter of Zod-El who was depicted as Superman’s uncle in this universe. Zod-El was part of a group of Kryptonians that were exploring space to colonize other planets. My idea for a backstory involves her being born on one of these colonies on a planet called Argo. Either because Argo is going to be destroyed, or because she hears of her father’s death, she is rocketed to earth to meet her cousin. The plot would center around Kal trying to teach her the ways of Earth and her trying to hunt down her father’s killer to take revenge.

As with all of my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Supergirl of Earth-1 in a costume designed with elements of Kal-El and Zod-El’s costumes and also depicts some of Earth One’s Metropolis in the background. In the top right there is a motif of the Supergirl S and a white 1 on top of it.

Earth-0, sometimes called Earth-1, Earth-Prime, or New Earth. This is the main universe of DC Comics. The current DC multiverse has the main stories taking place in Earth-0 and this is where I will start my exploration of the various versions of the Supergirl character throughout the local – and eventually the infinite – multiverse.

The Earth-0 Supergirl first appeared as a cameo in Flashpoint #5 from August 2011, and then started her own series with Supergirl #1 in September that year. Earth-0 shares many similarities to the aforementioned Earths 1, Prime, and New. Because of this, the first appearance of this version of Supergirl can also be listed as Action Comics #252 from March of 1959.

This Supergirl is Kara Zor-El, daughter of Alura and Zor-El from Krypton and cousin to Superman (Kal-El). Most often her origin includes the city of Argo surviving the destruction of Krypton for a time after the destruction of the rest of the planet. After some time floating in space the ground begins to irradiate and turn into Kryptonite. To save Kara, her father Zor-El launches her in a rocket to Earth to join her cousin Superman and become Supergirl.

As with all of my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Supergirl of Earth-0 in her iconic blue costume with a red skirt and red cape. She is shown standing on an ambiguous rocky terrain. In the background it shows space and Argo City. A motif of the Supergirl symbol and a number 0 is in the top right corner.
