Earth-15, a world that could have been a perfect earth according to Superboy Prime. He then proceeded to explode the planet so maybe we shouldn’t take his word for it. This was an earth that had virtually no crime and its initial group of heroes had been able to step down and the next generation to take over. This world has heroes like Jason (Batman) Todd, and Donna (Wonder Woman) Troy.
Throughout the comic appearances of this universe there is not a Supergirl that’s shown although the world does feel populated by more metas than what we see. The few appearances of this universe feel, to me, as if the Crisis never happened and the characters of the Pre-Crisis era were allowed to continue on their stories and the sidekicks and younger heroes were to step into their mentors shoes. With this mindset, I bring you Kara Danvers Superwoman. Superwoman is the protector of Chicago, the city she was operating out of before the Crisis and her costume is based on the Pre-Crisis Supergirl with slight changes.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and depicts Superwoman floating in the foreground with her cape held in both hands. The background shows clear skies and and the skyline of Chicago. The top right has a motif of Superwoman’s symbol and a number 15 on top of it.
Earth-14 is perhaps the least explored universe in DC’s current local multiverse having just one appearance. Superman vol. 4 #15. The basic premise for this universe seems to be the amalgamation of the Justice League and Suicide Squad called the Justice Squad. The Justice Squad is quickly eliminated just moments after their introduction by the Gatherers and their leader The Prophecy as they attempted to kidnap Squad Superman of their universe. Since this world is largely unmapped, there is not currently a Supergirl present.
The Superman of this universe seems to be the only hero with superpowers which implies the potential for a Krypton-14 that would exist in the universe. With the potential of a Krypton comes a potential for a Supergirl. This Supergirl, Squad Supergirl, has a similar powerset to Squad Superman and takes some design elements from him and his Justice Squad compatriots. For her civilian name, we are once again at a loss due to the lack of depth this universe. As such I will go with a classic, Linda Lee. After witnessing the attack on the Justice Squad, Linda (Squad Supergirl) Lee realizes she can no longer stay as the secret weapon of her cousin and must instead jump into the spotlight and become the prominent hero of Earth-14!
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork that depicts Squad Supergirl in the left foreground crouching with a pair of high tech binoculars to her eyes. Her costume includes red shorts, red boots, and a silver and gray body armor over her torso and arms. The sun i s setting in the background over a desolate city. A motif in the top right depicts the Squad Supergirl logo with a 14 on top.
Arcane Supergirl comes from the magical dimension of Earth-13. Earth-13, as depicted in the game Infinite Crisis, is home to a collection of Arcane superheroes who use their magical powers in the multiversal battle against the oncoming Infinite Crisis. Earth-13, also known as Earth Arcane, is a desolate place ravaged by the magics of the Shadow League. The universe is briefly explored in the game and tie in comic, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse.
Kara Zor-El, Blessed of Rao, is the Arcane Supergirl. Zor-El, as she is most often called by her companions, is the last daughter of Krypton and Herald of Rao. Saved by the magical Flamebird before the Black could fully consume Krypton, she now possesses the powers of the Flamebird which she uses to fight back against the Black.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and depicts Arcane Supergirl in front of the Diurnal Sphere. The Diurnal Sphere is the information hub of Earth-13 and looks like a giant glowing globe surrounded by sorcerers. Arcane Supergirl, in the foreground, is hovering and projecting flame bursts from both of her outstretched hands. A motif of Arcane Supergirl’s S Symbol is in the top right with a 13 on top of it.
Earth-12, also referred to as the DCAU or the Timmverse, is the home to a few of the animated series based on DC Comics in the 90s and 2000s most notably Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, and Justice League. These shows spanned a number of years producing many seasons of shows, movies, and a handful of tie in comic books. Earth-12 is most often associated with the Batman Beyond line of comics and most crossovers with other universes usually reference Batman Beyond as opposed to the handful of other shows. However, because all the shows exist in the same universe and continuity, it is safe to say any character that appears in any of the DCAU shows and tie in comics is a part of this universe.
From here we find ourselves with the star of Superman the Animated Series season 2 episode 27: Little Girl Lost. Kara In-Ze is the last daughter of Argo, a sister planet to Krypton that also suffered devastation in the wake of Krypton’s death. Kara is found by Superman after hearing a distress signal and brings her to earth. For more information on Kara In-Ze’s origin please take a look at my post talking about Supergirl Adventures #21. After taking on the identity of Supergirl, and the human identity of Kara Kent (cousin to Clark Kent), we are introduced toa heroine that loves having powers, loves saving people, and is determined to never let anyone suffer in the same way she did. Supergirl would have a handful of episodes revolving around her in Superman the Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited (And she even teamed up with Batgirl in an episode of Batman the Animated Series). But in the events of Justice League Unlimited season 2 episode 10: Far From Home, Supergirl is taken to the 31st century to help Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy save the rest of the Legion of Super-heroes. Supergirl would come to love the 31st century (and a certain green boy she met) and decide to stay in the 31st century. Supergirl of earth-12 has popped up a handful of times since this episode but it is either stories set before she goes to the future or brief cameos of this character.
The costume Kara wears throughout her early appearances is one of the most iconic costumes for the character. It was even adopted by Linda Danvers Supergirl in the pages of her comic in 2000. I think the costume is remembered so well because of how different it is and how influential the Superman animated series was. This is why I chose to draw her in this costume as opposed to her later blue and red costume she would adopt in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Supergirl in the foreground flying out of a window in the background. In the background you can see the Kent farm and luscious green fields stretching to the horizon. The second floor window of the Kent house is open and is shown to be where Supergirl is flying out from. A motif in the top right shows Supergirl’s S symbol and a 12 on top of it.
This week we fly into Earth-11, one of the most easily identifiable universes in the DC Multiverse. Earth-11 is the gender swap universe. In short, the boys are girls and the girls are boys, and Supergirl is Superlad. While Earth-11 didn’t come about until the pages of Superman/Batman #23 in 2005, a similar theme of gender swapped DC characters was explored all the way back in 1980 in a Mxyptlk story from Superman #349. Earth-11 has since made quite a few appearances and even had a mini series set in this universe called Multiversity: Teen Justice.
The “Supergirl” of this universe, Superlad, first appeared in Superman/Batman #24 and has not shown up again since. However, in the aforementioned Superman #349 Superman encounters a “male counterpart to Supergirl, my Kryptonian cousin”. While this version is Superboy not Superlad, he bears many similarities to the later iteration. Because this character has such a small amount of story there isn’t much to go on in the way of backstory. Both characters are referred to as the cousin of their respective Superwoman so it can be assumed Superlad shares a similar origin to his Earth-0 counterpart.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork and it depicts Superlad in the foreground flying towards the viewer with his left arm extended. In the background you can see green fields and blue skies and the city of Midvale. The bottom right shows a sign depicting Superboy as he appeared in Superman #349 and text saying “Welcome to Midvale”. A motif in the top right shows Superlad’s S symbol and an 11 on top of it.
