Is It Possible for Supergirl Not to Suck?
According to Comics Should Be Good, it is! CSBG has their list of the Top Five Supergirls of All-Time, which I find interesting just because Supergirl has always been one of my least favorite DC characters. The Supergirl I know best was the post-Crisis Supergirl, referred to as "Supergirl Matrix," and her biography is a little....confusing, to say the least. She is described by the great Wikipedia as, "a new Supergirl debuted as a man-made lifeform (made of protoplasm) created by a heroic Lex Luthor of a 'pocket universe'. Lex implanted her with Lana Lang's memories, and she could shapeshift to resemble Lana Lang. Matrix even believed herself to be Lana for a time. She wore a distaff version of Superman's costume, but Matrix did not have Superman's exact powers. While she possessed flight and super-strength (like Superman), she could also employ telekinesis, shape-shifting and a cloaking/invisibility power (her cloaking power made her indetectable even to Superman himself)." WHAT? Good God, DC, give it a rest.
I do like the current Supergirl from the "Batman/Superman" series more than "Matrix" (because her history is less complicated, if nothing else), but I would have to agree with the list by saying the best Supergirl is from "Superman: The Animated Series" because in my mind that series is still the best translation from page to screen of the Superman mythology.
Isnt the whole allure to Supergirl the fact that she CAN suck? Thats where the whole "my girlfriend can suck a tennis ball through a gardenhose" thing came from right?
do you write on bathroom stall walls? you're EVERYWHERE, man!
I wasnt aware that commenting on stories was perceived negatively. Maybe someone should let Newsarama know, because they often have as many as six thousand replies to their blog articles...god forbid anyone participate here...
