Is that Supergirl?

[The Qwardian]

I have a feeling DarkCrisis will answer this, but In Batman Superman in issue 4 or 5, Steel Superboy and I guess Supergirl break into the white house. Is that supergirl? She has black hair and wears like a black swimsuit with sleeves and a red "S" on it. Someone shed some light on this character for me please. Like background and stuff.

Thanx.

She is/was a Supergirl. Not Kara, of course.

[The Qwardian]

I figured it wasnt Kara, does this one have a name? is she a clone like superboy?

I just picked up the trade of that story, and was wondering the same thing.

Good thing for clix or I wouldn't have known the new steel either.

What's her story?

[King Doom]

she s some sort of time displaced daughter of clark and lois kent.

that s as much as i remember because i dropped superman quickly after that.

although i highly recommend the Azarello/Lee "Vanishing" story going on now.

Btw, at the end of the story that she was created in, I believe she was thrown through a rift in time or something and hasn't been sense. She may be gone.



I personally didn't mind the character. A different Supergirl could've been cool. Although I doubt she'll be showing up again to show if I'm right one way or another.

[DarkCrisis]

Her name is Cir-El.

She came from "a" future where Lis and Clark had a daughter.


She really really sucked and did nothing but whined all the time.

Eventually when Superman "fixed the future by destorying some timehopping badguys she ceased to exist (apparently).

She was a weak attempt to replace Supergirl Linda and thus why we got a new Kara instead. Which is of course much better.

The trade bok with the arc with the return of Kara is out now.

[tchipley]

Well she looked cool. Too bad she sucked.

[Q99]

I think she appeared only in one (not very good) author's run, plus the short appearance in Bats/Supes.

So she never got written well, but she could've been.

[The Qwardian]

cool, thanx for the info.
