Description It had to happen someday. Supergirl is growing up, and her Kryptonian DNA is kicking in. That same Kryptonian DNA that gives Power Girl her enormous...strength. How much alike are these two superheroines? They are, after all, the same person from two different universes.

Quite right. I'll tone down the Supergirl super-buxomness in future art. We have Power Girl to fill that need, and fill it perfectly. S.G. should be her own person. How much alike are her DNA and Power Girl's? She may blossom as she matures, but I don't think the two Karas should be doppelgangers.

10,000 years ago...

Findl: "Look, Inlor! Across the valley. There are a couple of Forest people walking around. Do you think they're friendly?"
Inlor: "Forest people, nuthin'. Those are Forrest GALS! Let's pray to the Great Arnort that they ARE friendly!"

It is my theory that ample an bustline is Nature's way of attracting a mate from very far away.

I've always felt that the "multiple universes" explanation in comic books was a bit of a cop-out, so I don't know how the science of such would shake out were the DC universe to be real... but it is likely that Kara-Normal Supergirl and Kara-Chesty-PowerGirl would have similar but not identical DNA. There is nothing wrong with chestiness, of course -- it is the person inside and how they live their life that should be the basis for evaluating who they are -- but somehow the original 1958 Supergirl seems just to innocent and gal-next-doorish to sport such a big chest, and the modern, liberated version of her.... well, we already have PG to fill that role. So... it is not insulting, just redundant.

I explain EnergyGirl's ample bustline in a similar way to her large musculature. If every cell of her body has DNA more complex and efficient than that of the average mortal, it stands to reason that after she hit puberty that all those hormones would tend to go into overdrive a little more than they do for the average mortal. She remains, of course, a very worthy person to bear both the strength and the body shape she does -- as do the people evidently "inside" the superhero female bodies you draw ... from the looks of most of their actions, expressions, etc.

Your heroes can come to my heroes "company picnic" any time they want to -- they'd be welcome there, I'm sure...!

The youthful innocence of the ORIGINAL Kara Zor-El/Supergirl of DC Comics, vintage 1958, is captured in this refereshing "homage" drawing. The real Kara was, of course, never quite this "big in the bow" -- not that I mind, of course. Kudos!
