The question was Which team should Supergirl join? and the results were:
1 for the Teen Titans
1 for the JSA
3 for the Birds of Prey
3 for her to stay solo
I think the Teen Titans are the obvious choice for her, and I would love to see Kara interact with Bombshell and Aquagirl. Bombshell doesn't take kindly to anyone much, and I think she'd view Kara as a peppy cheerleader type and hate her on sight. Plus Kara and Cassie are friends so that would probably set them apart before they'd even met.
As for Aquagirl, I just don't think she'd like Kara. I think she'd view her as immature, inexperienced and a liability for the team. We all know that Kara has moved on a lot since her stroppy days, but I don't think Aquagirl would acknowledge her newfoudn (semi) maturity, at least not at first.
I don't read the JSA, but I'm guessing that the person voting for this team was going for the mentoring young heroes aspects of it. If I'm wrong, tell me in the comments. I'm not convinced this is the right team for Kara, but as I said I don't read the title. I wonder how Kara gets on with Power Girl now? I reckon if Kara met Terra Kara would be very surprised by Terra's naeivty and would gently tease her and wind her up. Peej probably wouldn't approve of this.
As for the BoP choice, well Kara would be ace in the Birds of Prey! With Babs leading, Dinah as second in command, Helena, Zinda, Misfit, Steph and Kara all working together, we'd be for a fabulous book. If anyone important at DC is reading this, (which I highly doubt, but if you are, Hi! Stay awhile!), please reform the Birds and put Kara in with them....pretty please.
As for the none choice, you're all spoilsports :p Seriously, I think Kara would be good on a team. She'd be fun to write and interact with.
I'm glad no one said JLA (I'm guessing this is partly to do with the new JLA team and the Cry for Justice fiasco), and the Outsiders (bunch of boring D listers).
Kara *could* work well on the Titans - it would reflect her powerhouse status and give her more respect and status than being on the Teen Titans (young people who still have a lot to learn) team.
And compeletly off topic from this, London's Reclaim the Night march happened on Saturday and a female marcher was sexually assaulted whilst on the march. How full of hate do you have to be to do that? I went on last year's march and nothing like that happened, but then again it was the first march in a reaally long time. I guess this time around more foks were prepared for it.
In betetr news, you can view pictures of the march and a short write up here.
I'll put my hand up, I'm the JSA vote.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't so much for mentoring that I'd like to see Kara on that team, I think she's had enough of that. Its because, since Sterling Gates took over the series, I've wanted people to come to respect her. The JSA are the respectable face of heroes in the DCU, it seems, the ones the police will actually call on for help.
I reckon if the JSA can bring Power Girl to enough prominence to get her an ongoing, it can get Kara some respect (like Stargirl before her).
Plus, I imagine epic prank wars between Kara and Jakeem Thunder.
Your Birds Of Prey ideas are great, though. Kara and Misfit would be a dream team. Probably less so for Barbara, though.
Cheers for the vote! If Barbara can handle Steph and Misfit she can *probably* handle Kara. She will just be very pissed off for a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteMe, I'd like to see Kara join the Suicide Squad. She and Waller would be priceless together.
