love her so much <3

it seriously drives me insane. i asked waid about it and he said this and its seriously like. ‘not distinct enough’ are we even talking about the same character rn

tales from the dark multiverse?

Furthermore, Supergirl is nowhere to be seen in either film adaption, and in the comic she wasn't even Kara Zor-El, she was Matrix, who took the form of what we would typically say is Kara, and she was Lex Luthor II's (secretly just Lex in a cloned body pretending to be his Aussie son) girlfriend.

SUPERGIRL #4 (1994)
Lex Luthor vs. Matrix Supergirl

sophie has said she likes matrix! so maybe one day

its alright, i’m just a little too tired of people who do believe she’s a lesser supergirl than the others. lex “2” being in quotes is completely accurate though! her debut is fun, although i have my problems with it lol, those problems have really not much to do with her specifically

so excited for omni 2 it’ll collect so much matrix stuff! still drives me insane that supergirl (1994) has never been collected because without that context you never find out how her and lex break up 😭

brain, then they skip right to death of superman, skipping over her and lex’s terrible toxic relationship developing. and they saved luthor’s brain has basically never been reprinted 😭

matrix was supergirl for like 12 years, it being in quotes here is a little weird 😭 but yeah it sucks that none of their pre death of superman stuff has really been collected. there’s her origin in man of steel vol 9, then her in superman exile, then panic in the sky, and then they saved luthor’s

it’s probably as close to her as we’ll get, but i don’t think so. she was created specifically to be supergirl and specifically to honor her universe’s superboy, and that doesn’t rlly mesh with her being created when lex was 12

matrix isn’t an alien, she’s from the pocket dimension earth, and that lex isn’t good, he cloned his dead friend to make a human weapon to be his gf when he admitted to having access to kryptonite he could have used instead. but generally accurate! i miss her

matrix was a shapeshifting clone of lana lang from an alternate universe’s earth. she’s not an alien. she’s interesting when you get more into her lore, but she hasn’t been supergirl for over 20 years. you can chill out lmao

giffen’s convergence: matrix was horribly unfaithful and also called her kara… giffen is a bit of a major villain in matrix & linda’s stories isn’t he

obsessed with him being in this movie! i’m so glad! he’s so big for matrix supergirl’s era

i just wanna talk abt post crisis dc comics with other people! usually i get a vibe for what kind of posts to make after a bit of looking but none of this is rlly clicking for me. is it normal to hashtag here ?? i dont even know. #dc

like, i don’t think many people are watching tags like i do on other sites. what sort of comics centric post do people like here? like, not those reblog games or ‘comment a character and i’ll give a hot take’, actual posts about comics

really is rewarding to read it, but yeah it can be a bit much to have to swap between runs every issue

yes! she’s a shapeshifting telekinetic from an alternate universe. lex at the time had faked his death & was pretending to be his own son via cloning shenanigans. she’s very neat. lots of wacky comic science until peter david took took over in 1996 and she fused with linda ^^ & became more religous
