A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR(ME)!: Hey guys, I'm uploading another chapter! Yes 3 chapters for the price of 1! I'm good am i?
Chapter 6
"Hey guys its Bra and I'm back for another episode of character comparisons! Last time I compared Jor-El to Bardock as well as my father Vegeta! Once more I'm amazed that people thought that I was fair in my assessment of two characters but that was the last of the alien comparison for now. With that out of the way, its time to once again update you on how my training is going, and I have to say is I'm getting more powerful by the day! My dad says that soon my power level will be at the minimum needed to obtain the level of Super-Saiyan. Of course my brother says that I have to have the proper motivation to do so which comes as the result of the pain of loss. I haven't lost anything, but then again my father's trigger was that he didn't care whether or not he lived anymore so it may be different for me. Alex and I get along rather well and I'm shocked at how similar she acts to Gohan because if he had another sibling he will act with him/her the same way Alex acts with Kara! Alex is happy with my progress and we talk a lot of girl talk and give each other tips for the other person to remember. I told Alex that my brother is very secretive and that he keeps everything stored up inside of him. When he hides something its usually for a good reason. Alex told me that sometimes Kara does ask about the secrets my brother keeps but understands why he won't tell it to her now. After all she just got through the whole "distrust mom because you imprison my aunt" shtick and I think its too soon for my brother to tell Kara about the Dragon Balls and his time-traveling adventures. As for John, he too is now worried about that object from space that my dad saw and is preparing himself for the worse case scenario. Obviously he isn't going to tell Kara about that now because from what my mom has been rambling, it seems like Wynn's father broke out of jail. Mom worries about Pan because according to her Pan's mom Videl and Gohan fought Wynn's father in the past and now he's out for Supergirl's blood! Of course when he sees Pan he's going to go ballistic and attack her because Pan is Gohan and Videl's daughter and he has a beef to settle with them as well! Of course we don't know what's going to happen but we have to hope for the best! Now that I've updated you guys about my progress let me give out the number 800-shenron that's 800-743-6766 to talk! and the email is Bra_Briefs "
"Lets go to the phones shall we hello you're on with Bra. "Hey Bra last time you talked about Jor-El but I want to know what's your opinion on Cat Grant and who do you compare her to Thanks Bra". "Thank you for making the phone call and yes I will talk about my opinion of Grant as well as who I compare him to this broadcast!. My opinion of Cat has changed significantly over the last few weeks. At first I hated her for trash talking Kara's work as Supergirl but after hearing what my brother(and Pan) have told me of her history my opinion has changed. She's still a bit hard on Kara but the weird mother-like relationship she has with Kara(and Supergirl) is something that my brother has come to accept. Plus she also made an agreement with mom to keep Trunks' personal history out of the headlines and so far she's been keeping her word so that makes her a good person in my books! Of course the real test is Cat finding out that Kara is Supergirl and that Trunks is dating her. Now she did 'find out' with the whole Astra thing, but John was able to deceive her by shape-shifting into Supergirl while Kara was herself. I do understand that it was done as a thank you for my brother and Kara saving his life against Non, but still Cat deserves to know that Kara is Supergirl!"
"As to who I think Cat reminds me of I have to go with two people; the first(from what Trunks said of Reporter Clark Kent's boss) is Perry White. It should be obvious why I chosen Mr. White. First of all(from what Pan said to me) White and Cat worked together at the Daily Planet for years before she founded Catco. So it's no surprise that Grant is so cut-throat in her criticisms and analysis she gets it from him. She also has "worked" with a superhero before Supergirl and that would be Superman himself. Of course she started from the bottom and worked her way up so its obvious that she wanted to do this as a career. The next similarity is that both have been targeted by members of the government and media moguls with beefs against the heroes. Billionaires Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne both dislike Superman for different reasons; Luthor hates him because he's alien(sounds like Max) and thinks he's a danger to society. Wayne dislikes Superman because of the damage that he did to Metropolis during the battle with Zod because Mom has discovered that some of those buildings are under his name. Of course Maxwell's hatred for Supergirl is well known and Pan and my mom are worried about what he's creating(the area that James couldn't hack into) and Sam dislikes Supergirl because of James' connections with her as her protector. Both even found out that their real identities(although Superman more or less exposed himself in private to White as Clark Kent) whereas Cat was later on deceived by John to think that Kara is not Supergirl. I've aired my opinions in the last broadcast so I won't rehash them for the sake of time but there's another comparison that I would like to make(and it's someone very close to me) Who is that? Well my mom of course!"
"Trunks has come to the conclusion that Cat is a lot like mom and I would like to share his reasons why. First of all they both own multi-faceted conglomerate organizations. Mom has told me that's its not easy being the boss of Capsule Corps(which is why she intends to give it to my brother when she retires!) and Cat Grant experiences the same thing with Catco. With all the daily activities -and not to mention battles with the Board(like when she was Hacked) Cat and Mom are pretty stressed out in terms of work load. Now of course people may say "BUT BRA YOUR MOM INHERITED CAPSULE CORPS FROM YOUR FATHER!" and you are right! But she added on to my grandpa's signature invention the Dino-Caps and expanded it to all facets of life. In addition she has invented the time machine,the dragon radar, and the GR for training and if you remember she also managed to completely repair a freaking scouter from scratch, removed a bomb from an android and made a costume for Gohan and this is all while raising both me and Trunks! In fact one may nominate her for inventor of the year and may win the noble prize yet! Which leads me to another similarity both Bulma and Cat have been lauded by the population for their work. Even Maxwell Lord wanted a piece of the action(and this is before he "officially" met Supergirl)! Pan said that Kara often sees Cat's Pulitzer Prizes all over her office next to Supergirl's picture and the picture she has of Carter on her desk"
"Speaking of Carter, mom and Cat are also very similar in terms of motherhood. Now Carter is more or less cut and dry case(so to speak) and he reminds me of myself but this Adam Foster is what's interesting to say the least. According to Pan, her relationship with Adam reminds her of her situation with her mom Videl(which is true) but at the same time I can't help but think that Cat's dealing with Adam is very similar to how mom handled her pregnancy with Trunks. Both were the result of passion and both had to raise their sons alone(as both Adam's dad and my dad had similar attitudes regarding their sons). Now I know people will say "BUT BRA YOUR DAD WAS LOOKING FOR GOKU AND LATER ON HE WAS TRAINING TO BECOME A SUPER-SAIYAN SO THAT HE COULD DEFEAT THE ANDROIDS!" and that was true. Dad did leave after mom became pregnant with my brother but unlike Adam's father he came back(although he had a cold attitude towards Trunks until he was killed in the Cell Games according to what Pan said).
"Mom and Grant also had to deal with a major fallout in the aftermath. Now granted it took longer for Cat's history to catch up to her(as she could hide Adam better than mom could hide Trunks) but eventually it did. Armstrong hacked into Grant's account and leaked the information to the media as a power play to take over Catco. Now with Mom, its a bit more interesting; the reason why is that she was in a relationship with Yamcha at the time. Granted the romance and passion had cooled down since their younger days(as Yamcha was a well known womanizer) but they were still together. Trunks did say that their relationship was on again/off again but the fact was despite that they couldn't keep up the act of being together. Besides mom had already started falling for dad and the reason is simple: dad was driven, obsessive, and knew what he wanted which my mom could strongly relate to. Of course they were helped by a GR accident-in which it blew up and mom took care of him intensifying her feelings for dad-(although they both denied it at first!). Yamcha was the exact opposite of Dad and the fact that he was still somewhat of a womanizer didn't sit well with mom either(the same way Cat felt about Adam's dad in terms of their relationship). Even though Yamcha wanted to get serious mom still had a sense of adventure in her and didn't want to be tied down(which is something that also spoke to dad). Obviously Cat didn't want to be tied down either because she was building Catco and Adam was a result of her indiscretion when she gave into her temptation. It was the same for Trunks unfortunately Mom didn't expect to bear a hybrid son to someone who could kill her in an instant(remember dad was struggling to change into a good guy back then!) When mom got pregnant Yamcha knew that Dad was the father and broke up with her because he still remembered how Vegeta killed him and the majority of the Z warriors(although the Saiberman killed him and Nappa killed the rest dad didn't kill anyone)"
"Now when their sons were born both my mom and Cat protected them as long as possible. I don't know how old Adam is now, but whatever his age is Cat did a good job of hiding him from the rest of the world until Armstrong forced her hand during the Astra crises. Mom couldn't protect her son forever, and he was thrust into the role of being a fighter thanks to the Androids. That leads me to my final(and most important) comparison. Pan told me that Cat stopped asking the question of how things would be different if she could reverse time years ago. Yet this is exactly what mom did; she(and Trunks) wanted to give their younger selves a fighting chance against the androids and she created a cure for the heart virus that killed Goku because she believed that his presence would make a difference. Now it did lead to unexpected changes(and I for one wouldn't be surprised if there is still fallout to come thanks to that) but the fact was that she was right; Goku being alive did make a huge difference in saving their timeline and its obvious that my brother has come to realize that despite the changes he did make a difference in the other timeline. This is a great point to stop at and I hope you guys enjoy this chapter next time I will return with yet another character comparison! Goodbye!"
End Chapter
Me: That's the end of this chapter, I hope that the explanation for Cat Grant, Bulma and Perry White was logical and well thought out! In case you haven't heard(which I doubt because you guys keep up with the news), the section of Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne hating Superman for the damage he caused to Metropolis during his fight with Zod comes from the Man of Steel Sequel Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice! The hype for this sequel is huge(almost as big as the universe 6 Arc of Super!) and I will adapt that upcoming movie as part of my Supergirl Z story-line during the Champa tournament! Oh and the fallout refers to Champa/Vados/Zuno/Universe 6 in Supergirl Z and that's something that I will do at the end of Season 1!
Oh and one more thing again if you want a more detailed explanation of why Bulma and Vegeta became involved with each other I refer you once again to Geekdom and Super-Jaiyan on YouTube as they covered their relationship as well!
I've done 3 chapters today and will continue tomorrow(hey there are 9 more characters that I need to compare!) Be on the lookout for that as next time, I will jump into the ever so shady character that is Maxwell Lord and his comparison! See you guys then!
