Tag: Supergirl in the Multiverse

Earth-3 is the home of the Crime Syndicate of America. A mirror universe where the good guys are bad guys, instead of a Justice League we have a Crime Syndicate who rules over the world who’s only hero is Alexander Luthor.

The Earth-3 Supergirl is Ultragirl. There have only been a few appearances of this character and include 2 different versions. The first version of this character shows up only briefly in issues 16 and 15 of Countdown to Final Crisis. The second version of this character showed up in issues 4, 5, and 6 of Crime Syndicate from 2021. This Ultragirl is an assistant to Alexander Luthor and eventually joins his Legion of Justice in an attempt to thwart the Crime Syndicate.

Because she has such few appearances, her origin is relatively unknown but can be assumed it is similar to her Earth-0 counterpart up until she becomes involved with Alexander Luthor.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Ultragirl in space floating above Earth-3 and it’s moon, the sun is seen coming up from behind the Earth. A motif of the Ultragirl symbol is in the top right with a number 3 on top of it.

Earth-2 is the home of the JSA and other golden age heroes of DC Comics. First being shown as an alternate reality in Flash #123 where the golden age Flash comes to Earth-1. Earth-2 would get many other appearances after this including a handful of series including the book that was this character’s first appearance.

The Earth-2 Supergirl is Power Girl. She first appeared in All-Star Comics #58 which was also the return of the JSA in their own comic after only making guest appearances since the change of All-Star Comics in 1951 to All-Star Western.

Power Girl shares similarities to her Earth-0 counterpart, she too came from Krypton and is the cousin of her Earth’s Superman. However, she does differ, her name is instead Kara Zor-L and instead of being launched from Krypton as a teenager, she left the planet as a baby and her Symbioship kept her in stasis as she took her long journey to earth and as she was in stasis she learned of Kryptonian life from a virtual reality program built into the ship.

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Power Girl standing in the foreground. A city scape is shown in the background including Starrware Industries at sunset. In the top right a motif of the Supergirl symbol is shown with white and a tan circle to depict the iconless costume she wears. A number 2 is on top of the symbol.

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.
