It's very weird that mermaid-loving plays such a huge part of Superman's history.

Well, that sure is a man who is super into his cousin.  redbackground posted:It's very weird that mermaid-loving plays such a huge part of Superman's history.

Hmm didn't realize Superman was still bound by the standards of Kryptonian jurisprudence.

The whole thing was Jimmy made a wish on a magical Indian staff that there would be a Supergirl with all of Superman's powers. Yadda yadda yadda he undoes the wish right before she dies of Kryptonite poisoning. People liked the character and they back with exactly the same design but with the whole cousin backstory.

I,, uh, so, this was Jimmy denying that he was gay for superman right? Like "Oh man, my best friend is strong and awesome and I'd want to sleep with him if he was a girl. Totally"

Peter David had a story he wanted to tell that had nothing to do with Supergirl, so he did a find-and-replace on his script, and then afterwards other writers had to clean up his mess.

His weird version of supergirl was still way better than the goo monster she was prior.

Peter David had a story about angels and god and poo poo he wanted to tell, so he shoehorned it into Supergirl resulting in a lot of confusing poo poo, and then when other writers had to clean up his mess there was a lot more confusing poo poo. That's pretty much exactly how it went.

That's not at all how it went. Peter David got assigned Supergirl, thought the whole "she's a shape-shifting clone of Lana Lang from a pocket dimension where there were another Superboy and Supergirl who were friends with the Legion" was too complicated, so he went with "she's an angel" instead. He did that for 50 issues, then she was just Linda Danvers with Golden Age Superman's powers. 25 issues of that, then he reintroduced Kara Zor-El as part of a plan to rebrand the book as "Supergirls" (with Power Girl eventually coming in as well), but it got canceled, so he wrote both Kara and Linda out of the universe. Nobody ever really mentioned any of it again; the next Supergirl was Lois and Clark's daughter from the future, and she only lasted about a year before DC brought back Kara "for reals".

fatherdog posted:...No? Except for the fact that no one else dealt with the Linda Danvers Supergirl other than David. And in fact, the Danvers character basically moved over to another one of Peter David's books in Fallen Angel once Supergirl ended. What other writers are you talking about that dealt with Linda Danvers outside of the couple crossovers with books like Young Justice that appeared in the 80 issues that David wrote?

You had such potential that was never realised.
