Earth-8 is the designation in the DC Multiverse for Marvel’s 616 universe which is the main universe of Marvel and is home to many of the well known characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, and Captain Marvel.

The Earth-8 Supergirl is Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers is the current Captain Marvel although the name Captain Marvel was first used by a hero named Mar-Vell, a Kree soldier who would also sometimes use the name Walter Lawson on Earth. The Kree are a alien race in the marvel universe that come from a planet named Hala.

Carol Danvers first showed up in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 as a member of the US Air Force. It wouldn’t be until nearly 10 years later in the pages of Ms. Marvel #1 where she would become a full fledged superhero. Since then she has used many superhero names until she finally took on the name Captain Marvel in Avenging Spider-Man #9. While believing for most her life that she was a human, she later found out, in the pages of The Life of Captain Marvel, that her mother was also Kree. This revelation came with Carol learning her Kree name, Car-Ell. Captain Marvel is a hero who has often been a member of the Avengers and is known as one of the most powerful individuals in the 616 Marvel universe.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel flying through space. In the background is a large planet, a handful of moons, and stars. A motif in the top right shows Captain Marvel’s star symbol and an 8 on top of it.

Earth-7 is the designation in the DC Multiverse for Marvel’s 1610 universe, also known as the original Ultimate Universe that was published from 2000-2015 featuring titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-men, the Ultimates, and many other titles that often had the word Ultimate in their name.

The Earth-7 Supergirl is Carol Danvers. Carol Danvers in the main (616) universe of Marvel is the character Captain Marvel and is often viewed as the marvel equivalent to Supergirl. Carol Danvers of the Ultimate universe never became superpowered but was still active in the superhero community in many titles from this universe. She was also acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a time.

Carol Danvers first showed up in the Ultimate Secret miniseries, before showing up in many titles in a supporting role and contributing to many event storylines and helped found the New Ultimates team after Ultimatum.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Carol Danvers, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. standing at a control station with her hand on a pedestal. Both the platform she is standing on and the pedestal she is placing her hand on are lit in a soft blue light. There are also 2 holographic displays around her. In the background is a window that shows New York City, the Statue of Liberty, and 2 Helicarriers. A motif in the top right shows the S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol and a 7 on top of it.

Earth-6 or better know as Just Imagine. Earth-6 was a short series of prestige format one shot comics with the premise of Stan Lee, prolific Marvel writer and creator of many characters from that universe, reimagining a handful of DC comics heroes. The series was published from 2001 to 2002 and was comprised of 13 stories. There was a one shot special in 2022 called Tales From Earth-6 that was put out to celebrate Stan Lee’s 100th birthday that further explored the universe.

The Earth-6 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 Just Imagine stories and created my own backstory and character design.

Earth-6’s Superman is Salden who (during the events of Just Imagine Superman) stole a test prototype spaceship that uses a new element that can bend spacetime. Salden later (During Just Imagine Crisis) also landed back on Krypton and stole another sample of this element now know as Kryptonite. Salden, after landing on Earth became known as the hero Superman. My idea for a backstory involves Karron, the Super Girl from Krypton, being tasked by the Kryptonian government to follow Salden to Earth with a new spaceship and with a more advanced flight suit than Salden had, and bring Salden back to Krypton to pay for his crimes where he would be sentenced to the Phantom Zone.

As with all of my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Super Girl of Earth-6 in a costume designed with elements of Salden’s and other Kryptonian costumes and also depicts the Supermanor that Salden lives in on Earth as shown in Tales from Earth-6. In the top right there is a motif of the Supergirl S and a 6 on top of it.

Earth-5 is the home to Captain Marvel and the rest of the SHAZAM family, a group of heroes that have been bestowed upon them magical powers of SHAZAM. The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.

The Earth-5 Supergirl is Mary Marvel. Her civilian identity is Mary Broomfield, although she has sometimes gone by the name Mary Batson. She is the biological sister of Billy Batson, also known as Captain Marvel or SHAZAM. She first appeared in the Fawcett Comics published Captain Marvel Adventures #18 from 1942. In 1972 DC licensed, then later purchased outright, the Fawcett characters to publish in a new comic for DC SHAZAM #1 (1973). Mary Marvel and the rest of the Marvel Family have since been a part of the greater DC Multiverse as Earth-S and after Crisis on Infinite Earths would merge with a handful of other universes to become New Earth.

More recently during the Lazarus Planet event, from DC Comics in 2023, Mary loses her original SHAZAM powers and is granted new powers from Hippolyta where her new powers are all from goddesses. The agility of Selene, the strength of Hippolyta, the stamina of Artemis, the flight of Zephyrus, the invulnerability of Aurora, and the wisdom of Minerva.

As with all the Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Mary Marvel flying through the sky. In the background on the left you can see the Rock of Eternity emitting a bolt of lightning that is striking Mary. A motif of Mary Marvel’s symbol is shown in the top right with a number 5 over it.

Earth-4 is the home of the superheroes who initially appeared in Charlton Comics such as Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Nightshade. After Crisis on Infinite Earths this universe, as well as Earths 2, S, and X, combined with Earth 1 to create a New Earth.

The Earth-4 Supergirl is Bombshell. Captain Atom is most often seen as Earth-4’s Superman, and seeing that Amy Adams from New Earth underwent the same procedure that gave Captain Atom his powers it only makes sense for her to be Earth-4’s Supergirl. Bombshell (Amy Adams) is a member of the Teen Titans first appearing in Teen Titans #39 (2006) and had many appearances in that title until that book ended in 2011. She had a few other minor appearances but was usually only shown in team shots with the rest of the Teen Titans.

Amy Adams’ parents were part of Project Quantum and subjected her to the same Dilustel treatment that was given to both Captain Atom and Major Force. Her initial appearances showed her in an antagonistic role against the Titans. She was planted in the team as a traitor who would be revealed as such by Ravager. Later on in the Teen Titans run she would rejoin the team for real in an effort to redeem herself and attempt to become a hero.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Bombshell on the left leaning against a wall with her arms crossed. In the background on the right is a computer screen reading “Project Quantum” and depicting my take on what Bombshell might have looked like if she had appeared in Charlton Comics alongside Captain Atom. A motif in the top right shows the Bombshell symbol and a 4 on top of it.
