7 Reasons why that Coluan in Supergirl #24 is Brainiac 5  and 1 Reason why he could not possibly be

Grab Supergirl #24 over on Amazon/Comixology 

Now long time readers of the Legion of Super Heroes are used to the oft used marketing gimmick of DC pretending they are going to give you a Karadox storyline only to realize you have been horribly deceived. Starting immediately after Kara’s death with the Mystery of “Who is Sensor Girl”

to Supergirl Annual #2 1997 (which probable contained more making out than any Supergirl/Brainiac 5 single issue ever but had little to no actual romance and was not Kara)

to the Threeboot Legion where we had cover after cover of Kara and Brainy together but with Dreamgirl literally living in his head that relationship was never more than a tease to get fans to buy the comics. 

Now in between we did get some actual Karadox stories mostly from the amazing Sterling Gates. 

We have yet to learn whether we will ever get Karadox from the CW as they seem to go back and forth on it even during the course of single episodes. And they have brought on a Dream Girl allegory who seems specifically there to keep Karadox from happening. (Love Nia and Nicole, but man is that bummer when we were so close after all this time.) 

After all that, we . . . ok I . . .  built up a bit of a callous when it comes to Karadox teases. So you would think I would stick by my guns and not even let myself entertain the idea that this new Coluan traveling companion of Kara’s is Querl Dox...but then again ...What would be the fun in that... 

Now I know full well that any clues I am laying out are simply in the book to draw me in and make me read even if I know the promises are empty because remember all of the carefully laid clues in the Sensor Girl arc all also lead back to Kara being the girl in the mask even though it did not turn out to be her.  I do know I am playing right into that trap, but if even for a moment I am living in a world where it could happen that is better than having no hope at all.  So without further ado let’s begin the overly self-indulgent geeky conspiracy listicle:

1. Optics: The most obvious one of course being that he is a young handsome Coluan (a species we do not see a lot of) who happens to be traveling with Kara who has pretty major history with a handsome green skinned Coluan. You show the wordless panels to any decently seasoned comics fan and their immediate reaction will be that somehow Andreyko pulled a coup and got Brainiac 5 for his Supergirl arc. 

2. Klik: When Z’ndr Kol touches his watch to disable the gun of Kara’s attacker the button specifically makes the sound “KLIK” to most people that has no meaning, but it is the exact sound the button on Brainiac 5′s belt made when he released the Infinite Man to defeat the Time Trapper.

3. Convenient timing: He waits until she is unable to detect lies to tell her his entire backstory and even still... 4. Vague Backstory: This one may need a little breakdown 

- He's Coluan Ok obviously so is Brainy - He hasn't been with his people since infancy Brainy is traditionally an orphan and rebirth Brainy has been shown as a child on Earth. Possibly adopted by RJ Brande because of his connection to Vril?

Also note that Rebirth Brainy likes bracelets.

- His family was killed Again Brainy is usually an orphan though the circumstances change (of course if he is not Brainy I am betting he killed his parents)  - Wants to find a Coluan colony so he can know where he comes from This could be Brainy looking into the deconstruction of Colu just like Kara is looking into Krypton but it also sounds like a con artist looking to play on her emotions  

5. Krypto Krypto notices him in his robed costume but does not really seem too upset to see him.  Familiar smell?  It’s harder to con a dog. .df 

6. Devotion Gandelo mentions his devotion but does not say to who. To Gandelo? To the Circle? To Colu? or maybe  . . just maybe . . . to Supergirl? In the last issue all we learned was that he would destroy her... if that was truly his goal wouldn’t he have just accomplished that at the end of this issue? 

7. It’s Time When oooing and aweing over Kara’s ship He comments that it “Is so ahead of it’s time” not how advanced it is. Subtle but made a crinkle in my brow. 

Ok so that is 7 now here is the big reason why he definitely cannot be. 

Back in August the amazing Cori McCreery did an interview with Marc Andreyko which you should check out here https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2018/08/where-she-fits-talking-supergirl-marc-andreyko/ She cut to the chase and asked the question that was driving us all mad. 

So as much as we are currently being lead to hope this is a certain Coluan that is pretty much assured to be a fantasy so now to think up other possible explanations

#perlesaerie Mind candy. Found a few books at the free community library at the old Lorinos store a few weeks ago and just put them aside. I haven’t read them in years. A sci-fi and a sci-fantasy. First up is Foundation’s Edge - the fourth book in Asimov’s Foundation series. First published as a trilogy in 1951, 52, and 53. I discovered them in 1959 at age 10, and read them over a long blisteringly hot West Texas summer when we were stationed at Pyote AFB. Before Trek, Asimov had much of today’s tech nailed. Yes, I’m a serious Trekkie. This book 4 came out in 1981 and I’m looking forward to revisiting over the next few days. My reward for completing one spring cleaning chore a day. I might resurface briefly to post my daily poem, but beyond that I’m taking a deep dive between the covers of a much loved book w a beer n pizza side. Later y’all. #books #reading #mindcandy #monday #citylife #library #instabham #instagrambham #scifi #fantasy #foundation https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8FN2Zho_p/?igshid=79aw41wnclfx

The Best Book You’ll Ever Read About Trout Fishng In America Still in High School I sat up in bed laughing out loud while reading this book. It made me giddy just thinking about it. I realized that trout fishing books didn’t have to be about trout fishing at all. That there was a wilderness that existed right between our ears. I love the San Francisco Bay Area. Not only do salmon and trout spawn here but the best writers on the planet have lived, written about or passed through here. Don’t tell anyone on the East Coast though. They are a terribly jealous bunch. #richardbrautigan #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscobayarea #writers #mindcandy #foodforthought https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsgtOfHyDW/?igshid=162nie25npb2o

I just posted another coloring book on my Etsy shop.

Hooray for small victories!

Work seems to be taking all my time and energy, but the art just keeps saying, “write this,” and “render that”.  My next inspiration for a coloring book is deeper and requires more research, so it may take a while.  My last 4 coloring books are admittedly beefcake mind candy, but there is much need for escapism in today’s world too.

Everybody, keep plugging away at it!
