Superman Through the Ages! Forum

With 3 Supergirl's running around everywhere....which do you think should stay. Cir-El, Kara or Linda?

Who should stay?  Why, all of then, 'natch! 8)

I voted for Kara as the REAL Supergirl, because she is.  So where does that leave Linda?  She can be Superwoman (she deserves it), and hopefully both of them will stick around.

As for Cir-El, it's really much too early to judge.  We know next to nothing about her, her origins, and whether she's going to be a semi-permanent addition to the Superman family (as Kon-El and Steel were) or whether she's only a one-shot, existing for this single storyline.

And as much as I like Linda (and may or may not like Cir-El), I don't like characters with completely out to lunch origins.  Can you summarize Linda's Supergirl origin in one sentence or less?  I certainly can't.  It's far too convoluted and nonsensical.    For better or for worse, I regard a character's origin as an important component of that character.  Compared to Linda's, even Kristin Wells' is a walk in the park.

Yeah since shes older now she can be Superwoman.

one of the three would have to eventually become superwoman.

Well since Kara is gone back and Linda quit it's all up to Cir-El now........

need to be brought up to date
 Assume kara is supergirls original personilty from Argo City
 Linda Danvers is her earth adopted identity
 but who is Cir_El then?
 are you saying there are different persons or 32 different identies now I'm confused hadn't been involved with comics for 25 years saw the Saw the Supergirl Movie but Kara and Linda Danvers were still her other aliases

Darn those reboots--Kara Zor-el IS Supergirl - nuff said! :wink:

One guess as to who I picked.   :D

You're right.   "Linda Danvers" is Kara's alter-ego.

The thing is, there's now a second Linda Danvers, who isn't Kryptonian, and the first Supergirl is now generally just called "Kara Zor-El" because if she was still called "Linda," people wouldn't know which Linda you're talking about.

But since the 2nd Linda is now in continuity limbo, she's probably going to be forgotten in fairly short order.

That's Kara on the left and Linda II on the right.

Cir-El's origin is still a mystery, but it looks like she's Superman's daughter from an alternate future.

At the risk of sounding the lech, if Cir-El is Lois and Clark's daughter, the Kent family has some mighty fine genes. . .*leers*

 Of course, I pity the poor fool who asks her out on a date. :p

 -Defender.

Kara.

Peter David's Supergirl stories were cool but it didn't feel like Supergirl. Plus, the artists made Supergirl to much of a woman :wink: , which in most cases detracts from the story.

My vote is for Kara Zor-El. However my personal favorite is Kara In-Ze from Superman the animated series. It really got under my skin when they just slapped her costume onto Linda.

One point in Cir-Els favor though, I have to admit the idea of a brunette Supergirl aint bad...  8)

I gotta agree with Defender. Cir-El certainly is a knockout. But nevertheless, I voted for Kara.
