"ARTICLE; A FREE-VERSE POEM: HANDICAPPED SUPER
HEROES ... SUPERMAN'S COUSIN KARA SUPERGIRL!"
by
Mark Walter Meredith
If one were to bet just an average someone that SuperGirl Linda once thought that SuperGirl was Superman Kent does anybody out there think this average someone would take such a bet?
One might think that the answer to that would be yes, but that average someone would lose some money!
It all begins in the fifties.
While Marvel Comics was still appealing to some Tales from the Crypt-type readers, the good old-fashioned SUPERMAN's comics was still appealing to good old fashioned kids.
In comics, sometimes try-out characters are introduced who display a new concept or idea for one issue, then die ... in the end of the comic book story.
Metallo and; the Kryptonite Man were such.
Yet, another was the first Bullseye, and so was SuperGirl Kara Zor-El such.
Whenever readers like such an idea, the creators of the comic book bring back such a try-out character.
You can find the first appearance of, Ms. Lee, Kara, was in an old fashioned story where Superman's young pal Jimmy Olsen found an ancient magic artifact that granted him a wish.
James Olson spent the wish on Superman wishing Superman to have a Super"Girl" to be his Super Girlfriend!
_A Supergirl materialized that was magical and looked just like, Ms. Lee, the cousin that Clark hadn't met yet at that point.
After Superman El met Supergirl ... Lois felt sad because the Super"-Girl" had powers, which she could not have.
When SuperMan confronted a big Kryptonite meteorite, Supergirl said she'd handle it because it would not affect her since she was made of "magic."
The Supergirl was bluffing... ...though, because James Olson had wished, that Supergirl would be just like Superman; thus Supergirl naturally had the same weaknesses as Superman.
Supergirl sacrificed herself to save Superman and faded away into nothing upon her death.
One could argue that when Jimmy Olson wished for a Supergirl that was just exactly like Superman in her powers, that the Supergirl would take the form of the only Kryptonian that was alive throughout space and had the closest matching DNA to Superman in Kent's (as his) only living and surviving family members.
When Krypton exploded, a whole city was blown into outer space called Argo City.
Because a cloud of breathable air was clinging to this chunk of Krypton, the dwellers of this city Argo ... upon that land ... worked together to erect a dome over Argo and the surrounding land to keep that atmosphere on what was left of that remnant of Krypton.
A scientist led the citizens of Argo who the ancient Kryptonians named "El" ... that El was the brother of a Kryptonian genius whose last name was also El.
_ The scientist from Argo City ... his name being: "Zor."
_ _ _.. Because of exposure to Krypton's nuclear uranium core explosion... ...the ground beneath Argo City composed of the Krypton matter of the chunk of rock Argo was built upon, began to turn to Kryptonite beneath their very feet!
Luckily for the survivors of Argo, ... and thanks to Zor's studies in irradiation... he had a surplus of lead sheet metal that was stored in his laboratory with which they were able to cover the bedrock of Kryptonite!
_ _ _Then... eventually they were encountered by a mass of asteroids that were heading for an uninhabited passing solar system's planets to burn up in their individual atmospheres.
The "meteorites," as they are specifically called penetrated holes in the protective layer of sheet metal!
El knew that there was only a short amount of time before the small amount of air in the dome became radioactive with the distinct radiation of Green-Kryptonite radiation.
Jor-El's brother rushed to create a space rocket in which he could send his teenage daughter to an inhabited safe planet to live for the rest of Kara -El's life.
_ _ _ _Kara's mother Alura Zor-El used a space telescope to search for a fitting inhabited planet that was right for Kara ... with.
She espied at many inhabited worlds, but then she spotted one that caught Alura's eye.
Alura found a blue planet that by monumental odds already had a Krypton Samaritan Superman who was a renowned hero ... upon this planet Earth.
An infant Kryptonian had beaten Kara who was living on Argo City... ...had rocketed past the piece of Krypton on which Argo City was upon ... at great velocities... reaching Earth before Argo and the detached Kryptonite mass was salvaged by its surviving citizens ... and eventually made into livable ... by building a dome over it to contain its breathable atmosphere. … . .

That is the end of that act of the story so far. Do you think that's the end of the life of this main character?! Not necessarily ... if you don't want it to be ... then write me a note about how you want to see the next chapter in the story of this main character's life! What happens next? Who knows what happens? ... Inspire me by putting a review! Tell me what you want to be happening in the story, next, OK?! OK! Perhaps I'll write the next chapter very soon from now!
