#reverse supers

[nnzero]

My guilty pleasure is reverse Robins, but if you keep most of canon intact and only shuffle the order a bit, it basically also turns into reverse Supers. That's exactly where my brain went.

So the timeline would be: Kara lands on Earth first, then Clark, then Jon is born, and finally Kon is created.

I have so many ideas for Jon and Kon's relationship (while still keeping The Death of Superman), because of the angst potential.

The only problem is I've never actually read any Supergirl comics. So I was wondering: if Kara arrived on Earth first, would she end up becoming a superhero anyway? Or would she be more likely to try living a normal life among humans instead?

Idk if Kara would be adopted by the Kents, since that feels like an important part of Clark's story. So I'm kind of imagining she grows up mostly on her own.

Then, when she's around 25, a teenager with the exact same powers as her suddenly starts beating up villains and calling himself Superboy.

That would make their age gap, what, around 15 years?

I feel like their dynamic could be really fun. Kara is depressed, and just trying to survive adulthood, while Clark is basically a walking explosion of energy who's convinced he can change the world.

(Again, I haven't read any Supergirl comics, so if this is completely OOC, please let me know 😭)
