Don't you get it, Rebel? You're not important! You never were! You were just-- something to do! Something for Supergirl and me to bounce off of for a while until people and events of real consequence came along!
Swell! I've always wanted to tangle with a revenge-happy super-powered Kryptonite-radiator!
Just what I've always wanted... A vendetta from before I was even born coming to look me up!
I didn't know colleges still kept absent-minded professors on the payroll.
I'm so happy! I'm no longer just Superman's emergency weapon! Now I'm his partner! Golly, things'll be very different from now on!
You want to hate someone-- That's your problem! But when innocent people suffer for it, their only crime being of a faith you happen to not like-- Then you're looking for trouble!
I thought we'd come to this someday! Well, now that we have, I've got to tell you, Superman-- There is no planet Krypton! Moreover, Clark-- There never WAS!
I saw them again... Zor-El and Allura, my Kryptonian parents! They were begging for help... as if they were alive in some kind of prison!
My cousin, Superman, told me he was going on a dangerous space-mission with the JLA. I suspect that the Batman is with him! And since that's the case, I'm not leaving Gotham until the Annihilator is safely disposed of! I owe you that much for saving me from him!
There he is... The Positive Man! A destructive force which was once-- human!
That was the last time I saw Richard. Tonight I know what it is to be human. Tonight my super skin is still invulnerable, but my Richard is never coming back, and my heart is broken into a million pieces.
Because of the two white stripes on him that look like lightning, I'll call him Streaky!
Now I know what the expression to get hit with a ton of bricks means! And my uniform -- my indestructible uniform-- it looks like it's been through a shredding machine! The only thing that could have done this is magic-- the most powerful kind of magic! This Zond is the real thing!
Besides, I could do with the time to myself... to sit back and think. It's selfish, I know, but I deserve... Whoa! There you go again, Linda! There's nothing selfish about wanting to get into yourself for a while instead of thinking about the whole blasted world! I do enough of that as Supergirl — and wasn't the whole reason for this move... to give myself space to be just plain Linda Danvers?
We don't do it for the glory. We don't do it for the recognition... We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers we ever existed
No. I can't think that way. Even if all my death means is I've delayed theirs, I still have to save them.
Are you really trying to attack me with an overgrown pocket knife?
This whole trip to the 30th Century has been a big mess for me... And maybe it's my own fault. No, Brainy... Maybe I don't fit in with the Legion anymore. I'll see you 'round... some-time.
And If I can't at least save the people I care for, what good are these powers I have?
It's a good thing I'm around today-- But I won't always be, you know. Anyway, you'd better hang on-- because our next stop is-- Motorville!
Superlad couldn't choose between his inventor or his genetic twin... so he chose to annihilate himself instead! You manufactured synthetic life, Dr. Forte... but you couldn't manufacture evil!
Doesn't take any super-powers to tell you're going thru a bad scene! Want to talk about it?
I failed to save him once-- and he almost died! I saved him-- and he turned bad! Now-- WHAT?
I don't like squeeze plays, Dax! And I don't like you! Evil hangs over you like a bad perfume!
Better put out that fire before you burn the place down!
That P.O.W. rally got me thinking about Tony again... And now my mind's made up! I'm determined to locate him-- whether he's dead or alive!
When I get through with you, you'll be buried under tons of lunar rock on the Moon! Let's see how many spells you can cast from there!
I'll never forget your kindness, Hippolyta! And I'll always remember my one day as an Amazon!
... Blackstarr... BLACKSTARR! Where are you hiding-- How many more will you kill with your evil?
Listen-- I've been romping through the cosmos since I was 15... and threats like that don't even make me work up a sweat!
When you're floating in space... it's sooo quiet. And everyone talks so sweetly... and softly... It's nice. It's... peaceful. Not like here. Here people yell at you... or hurt you... or think you're an idiot or crazy... or let you down.
If you're looking for someone to beat up on... How about me?
So I'm... I'm supposed to... But it was supposed to be all... all fun! And helping people! I... I... want to live. I don't want to go and die. Please don't make go and die. Please.
Look-- Here's the problem. You've done some bad things, but I'm really, really upset right now. So much so that, honestly, I don't trust myself. And if you attack me or I attack you... I will hurt you. I'll hurt you worse than you've ever been hurt in your whole life. I can carve you up as soon look at you. I can break you, boil you, freeze you. I can do things you can't imagine. Things I can't imagine, until I have to. And then I'll improvise.
The way I see it, Diana, the first thing is to figure out just which four Earths this hanging judge has shuffled off to-- and then hope we can stop him there!
Well, mister, maybe there was a Tobruk back in World War Two-- but remember this-- There was also an El Alamein!
Funny... I used to think I was invulnerable to just about everything except Kryptonite and magic-- As if I'd actually run into everything in the universe! There are forces out there I don't know about that can knock me for a loop... Though I could have lived without Reactron proving that to me!
This is getting bizarre! Every time my attention wanders, I start thinking I'm someone else... As if I had an alter ego! But that's just plain silly! I'm Supergirl... And you don't hide that behind a pair of phony glasses or a wig or something!
We fight to live as long as we can. That's the only way to live... and to be able to live with yourself.
What is keeping me here besides a job I hate--? I've moved around plenty in my life... What difference is one more going to make-- Especially if it means the difference between what I've got now and happiness! Well, sharpen your penciles, Linda girl... You're going back to college-- And I know just the place I want to be!
Quitting my job at KSF-TV was the smartest thing I've ever done... I hope! Now I'm finally going to pursue my real ambition... at last!
Baffled, Superman? Let me tell you my story, as my parents told it to me! When Krypton blew up, you were not the only one to escape alive... By sheer luck, a large chunk of the planet was hurled away intact, with people on it...
Face it, Clark-- You've been ill! You created the whole Krypton fantasy to escape the reality of your life-- A reality you couldn't face!
Shove it, cousin! We've gone over this a half dozen times! There never was a planet called Krypton, so stop being so maudlin! You were born right here on Earth, to parents who were victims of a radioactive accident-- and that is all!
Your intentions may have been noble, Enchantress, but you chose to battle evil with forces you could not control!
The Satan Ring and the scroll were destroyed by the heat. But please don't tell anyone I once was a she-devil. It's something I'd rather forget.
Jeepers! If...if cousin Superman and Lois got married, they could adopt me!... "Mother Lois"!!... "Father Superman"!!... Gee! I'd be the happiest girl alive!!!
Like cousin Superman, I'll speed faster than light and propel myself across the time-barrier! I'll travel about a hundred years ahead, into the 21st century!
What am I to do if they can't find an antidote for me at the city of Kandor? Is my usefulness at an end? What good is a part-time Supergirl!? And I don't know where Starfire and the Professor are either! Will I ever become my old self again? C'mon, girl -- Stop the self-pity routine!
Oh, Thank Goodness -- the town is still there -- and all in one piece! For a moment -- I thought I'd find the town in ruins -- and it wasn't a dream after all!
I have these powers -- and while sometimes I wish I didn't -- and could live a normal life -- I have to use them to help humanity as long as it needs me!
Well -- Now I'll find out just how this exo-skeleta-cyborg works!
I know it sounds corny -- but I'm beginning to miss these hallowed halls of learning already.
What am I to do? If I rescue Johnny -- I'll have to rescue Nasty, too! And I might slip up somewhere and she might be able to trip me up and prove I'm Supergirl! But I've got to save them! Even Supergirl's secret identity isn't worth one innocent life!
Well, massuh, start cracking your whip -- and tell us poor, underpaid slaves what our next job is.
Now hear me, all you inhabitants of this great planet -- it is for you decide on changing the barbaric rules governing this contest! Your idea of avoiding wars by having two warriors do battle was to end needless dying, was it not?
Excuse the pun, pal... But I'll be dragon you off to jail!
Yes, Judy... A falling star... Perhaps it tried to climb too high and burned itself out...
Now they're mobbing people just because they're dressed differently... Another attack... because this man has a speech impediment! How can civilized people act so vicious?
When super-powers fail... Feminine wiles work!
Back... back... back I'll go... to the time when Superman was Superboy, long before he even knew I existed!
It's all right. I know what I'm doing! Supergirl
Don't know it! My cousin Superman has left me in the shade so long I'm getting frostbite! I could get to like this Gordon girl!
Youngsters half-believe in fairy tales! Tom's ridicule is like telling them too soon that there's no Santa Claus! Hmm... I have an idea how to teach him a good lesson!
It's their own hides those bigots better start looking after, 'cause they're messing with my friends now-- and by Rao, that going to cost them!
You seem glad to see me go, Donna. I'll bet you know more about those stolen minerals than I do!
Listen... As everyone knows, Earth people can take several doses of polio vaccine and gain immunity to polio! Why can't we do the same with Kryptonite radiations?
Covering up for the non-Super Legionnaires won't be easy, but it's a challenge I welcome!
I... goofed! But am I downhearted? No! Will I try again? Yes!
Somehow, Satan Girl is killing the girls of the Legion! I don't know who she is or where she got her super-powers, but we've got to stop her!
We'll change the club Constitution so no boys can join, ever!
Now... You three fight it out for the crown of King Glutton of the sea!
I've been Supergirl for such a long time, it seems. Not that I'd give that up for anything... but I feel like I've totally lost hold of the part of me that doesn't scoot around the universe in shorts and a cape! I've forgotten what it feels like to be just a person... Instead of a symbol!
How can I be calm? Kal-El has always been like a brother to me-- guiding me, teaching me to use my super-abilities-- loving me-- And now, when he needs me most-- when he could be in deadly danger, perhaps dying-- I've failed him! Don't you see that, Wonder Woman?
You failed to display the simplest power of all for a Super-girl! You didn't fly! Yet, if you were as Super as you claimed, you wouldn't even have needed a rocket to reach Earth, "sister"!
I... goofed! But am I downhearted? NO! Will I try again? YES!
This will be the happiest day of my life! At last my existence on Earth will be revealed! Thanks, Superman!
Once, I'd have avoided adoption by using a clever super-feat...! But since I'm no longer Superman's secret super-helper, there's no reason why I shouldn't be adopted by a nice couple! I'll try to be a good daughter!
How ironic! Once when I had my Supergirl powers, I could fly miles in a second! But now... without my super-powers, I'm as slow-moving as any ordinary human! It's frustrating, living like this!... I want to leap... fly... as I used to, but... I can't!
1692! Why, that's the year when the "Golden Witch" terrorized this section of the country! We talked about her in school last term!... So many people saw the witch, some historians suspect there may be some truth to the weird story!
One girl, against millions of monsters! Can I win this great battle? I must! Or Mr. Malverne will die!
Recently, I encountered six Red Kryptonite meteors! So far, three of them caused my body to change in amazing ways! What will the remaining three meteors do to me??!!
He's gone, now! For the first time, I'll be able to go into action openly! Gosh, I can hardly wait to prove myself worthy of all the honors I've received!
I-I'll change back to my identity as Linda and remain here, minus super-powers!... I want to be with the foster parents I love... and near you, my only living relative!
I kept my promise! They'll never know the real truth! Goodbye, forever, "brother"!
Yet I saw them both die before my very eyes! They were surrounded with that blue aura! And I did it to them, I know it!
Mother! Father! I know you're close by! I can sense your presence somehow! I don't know how can I reach you... How can I help you escape the Zone?
Lena, I brought Jeff here so you could both hear the explanation for this terrible misunderstanding. It all started when I thought I discovered that Jeff was a spy.
The Danvers are heartbroken, but they're ready to give me up if it means my happiness! How they must love me!
I don't care if I do turn into some monstrous demon! I'd pay any price to keep dad alive.
Murder? I don't know the bomb will kill you! Maybe it won't go off for another million years! Or maybe it'll happen in a few seconds, or in a few days! Have fun guessing!
Now I believe you have some unfinished business-- like a sentence at a certain space prison you escaped from!
Hold it, you heels! This is your last performance!
So you took my bait, eh, Jacquie? I figured you couldn't resist those sparklers if you were the real thief!
That's a great act, you've got there, Curly! Just keep doing your thing! Those mighty coils could crush an ox, but they barely tickle my steel-hard body!
It's too late! The cosmic axis has finished shifting-- And our people are gone! There's nothing more we can do but to wish them good luck... And godspeed! In a way I envy them, Superman! They've begun a great adventure-- A journey of cosmic discovery! I only pray they some day find whatever they're looking for!
...You'd know that you came here today to honor the wrong Kryptonian! It is I who should be number one in the hearts and minds of the human race-- Supergirl-- Not Superman! I guarantee it won't be long before the whole world showers me with the credit I've always deserved! Wait and see! Only one obstacle stands in my way-- And soon he will be nothing more than a caped memory!
...I'm not your apprentice any more, Kal-- I'm a grown woman! I didn't come asking your permission or advice-- I came to tell you what I decided!
But, girls... you asked for the truth... and you got it!
Goodness! Are you sure you're Superman? You look like the super-wild man from Borneo!
Listen, buster... I've been doing my Supergirl thing for years... and I've done okay! Ask all the crooks I've jailed!
The fact that I'm saving this boy's life doesn't matter to them! I'm demolishing one of their illusions... and they can't stand that!
But it was a white lie! Luthor doesn't want Val to live with the stigma of having a master criminal for an uncle! This was his one decent act in a lifetime of crime!
I figured my best bet was to bring you here -- a place I was familiar with, so I'd be calling the shots! I was sure that would bring Brainiac out in the open... too bad he escaped!
So that's who's behind all this!? An alien from another dimension who's pulled us into his! I'd better set him straight -- so he'll send us back!
Clark! I'm right here beside you! I'm not dead! If this is a joke, I don't appreciate it! Do you hear me?
Look... I'm flattered that you like me enough to give me a... er... ring! But you ripped up a railroad track to make it! Back off so I can save that train from being wrecked!
I heard you escaped prison, Luthor. I knew you couldn't resist visiting Lena. It's ironic how that one touch of humanity betrayed you.
That computer's hip, all right! I am an "actress"! My Linda identity is only a role I created to hide the fact that I'm Supergirl!
Only one thing to do! I'll take the place of the Stanhope champions at the International Athletic competition, to protect them from harm! Then I'll wait for the Ionians to strike!
There's no evil witch behind this, but a modern computer! Just because I failed to prevent its first two predictions from ending in disaster doesn't mean I can't succeed with the third!
My day is complete! Every self-respecting super-heroine has to save a train at least once in her career!
I've been kidnapped from Earth, blasted with a ray gun, and ordered disintegrated-- now I think it's time to register my disapproval of such actions!
Okay! That does it! No son of junk metal is gonna get the best of me!
But the whole thing seems awfully familiar! A girl and her pet... A metal man... A cowardly beast... And all the rest!
What? More company? Ha-Ha-Ha! Sorry! I can't give you any refreshments! I ate all the chocolate bars I brought! Ha-Ha-Ha!
Don't blame me! Remember, you're the one who turned me into an innocent instrument of destruction!
When a girl feels this way -- some new clothes are in order!
I know this doesn't look right to anyone watching, but... you're too dangerous a sweet little old lady to let you run around loose!
A giant bowling alley -- and I seem to be the king pin!
Hmm... That's one aspect of this I don't particularly care for! If mysticism is somehow involved in whatever has happened to Mr. Drew, I may be in trouble!
Why don't you ask the masses for their opinion before you start getting trigger-happy?
That lousy Nasty! She's out to get me fired! That rotten, underhanded stupid w... I'd like punch... OOOPS!
The game is called bowling! I'm the ball... and your and your crew are the pins...!
I'm sick of the whole rotten news business! My articles and the actions of your favorite camera operator cost a man his life! That's enough for me! I've got better things to do with my life than stay in a business that exploits people.
I think you're wrong, Lieutenant... Mike Merrick did escape... from a world... in which he never quite belonged...
All right, you madmen! You want war? You want death...? Then I'll give it back to you!
You'll just have to get used to the idea that a Supergirl can be just as super-duper as a Superboy!
I've told you how I feel before, Superman... How I'd rather be a genuine flesh-and-blood woman than a Supergirl! I mean, it was a kick at first-- the fame-- the glory... concealing my secret identity-- but it was all piled on my shoulders the day I landed on Earth... And... Well, I'm just not the world-saver you were born to be!
Great Krypton! I'm in another Solar System! And the guidance system was knocked out! H-How will I find my way back to Earth again?
I'd say 'Yes', except for one thing! You're the most obnoxious creep I've ever met! Crawl back into the woodwork, where you came from, Raspor!
These powers I have seem to attract weirdoes and monsters... so I've stopped thinking of them as coincidences!
That's one definite advantage to being female! While ego-boy leers like a rattle-snake... I'll catch him off-guard with a shot of ricocheting super-breath!
You meant well, Todd... But as long as there's one Travis in the world-- mankind isn't yet ready for that kind of magic!
Don't you remember? It was then I was having those memory gaps-- I don't remember any of this, but it could have happened! I didn't project Shyla into the Phantom Zone with criminal intent, but I can't prove I'm not a crook!
They burst into a super-fireworks display! What a way to send a letter when you're out of stamps!
I could tell you that you're not the only girl in the world who's different from others... and that you're not the only one who'd rather not be different--!
And face it, Lexy-boy-- you've been baited, caught and reeled in-- all by the "little girl with the super-powers!"
They could have planted that bomb for me! I didn't want to tell you about this, because I figured you had enough on your mind-- but I've been warned, threatened and attacked--!
We were pretty close friends in college, Rudi and I... despite our age difference, we understood each other. Because I was really an alien, I always felt my difference from others--
You're wasting time, Marshall-- I'll catch you no matter what you do-- or where-- or when you go!
And somehow or other, I've got to prove Peter had nothing to do with Reynolds' disappearance!
Book Jason Janson for Murder One! I'll be back shortly with a body, a weapon with Janson's fingerprints, and three witnesses anxious to talk!
No! Not at the expense of others! Such absolute power corrupts-- and should not be in the control of a single individual!
If it's boots that bother you, friend-- then you'll dig the plain and fancy stomping I'm about to do!
Strange, though, Greg seemed to prefer Linda over Supergirl... And that's never happened before! Hmmm! Maybe I've been lied to all this time... Maybe blondes don't have all the fun!
I wonder how he'd look with a pizza in his face!
Looks like Lena and her brother will patch up their differences! Who knows... Maybe she and I will, too...
That surprises you, doesn't it? Probably because the Supergirl you know isn't that powerful! But I'm not who you think I am-- I'm from the 20th Century! And *ouch!* while I'm not invulnerable here, I'm just as strong... And I can still do this! Now, do you really want to force me to lay these hands on you? They're bruised, but they can still function-- Understand?
Get out, Lesla-Lar-- GET OUT OF MY MIND!
You need a hint as to what you can do with your badge, Peters?
