because @12thlevel and i were talking about it, i just want to highlight one of my favorite things about kara, which i think was summed up incredibly well in the span of a small story arc in supergirl #60-64. AT FIRST, she didn’t want the complications and difficulties that came with being a hero. at 15, when she arrived on earth, it was all about fun and games, but both pre-crisis and post-crisis kara are shown to have this amazing character development throughout their storylines that show a very human and relatable growth as she enters adulthood. while these two pages are only a snippet of some of that growth, and there are certainly more examples of this, this particular interaction between kara and lois is a favorite for sure. first believing she can’t match up to superman, then realizing she doesn’t have to, kara accepts indirectly her role as a protector of earth and the innocent, having matured from her selfish teen years into a selfless leader. kara realizes she just has to do her best to do what needs to be done when the time comes, should superman ever fall or should she need to step up and take on the role of superwoman, no longer supergirl. anyway, that’s all. i could rant about this for a LONG time but i will save you guys from that.
