Description

Before Earth saw the dawn of human civilization, Krypton's technological achievements led them to a Golden Age of scientific discoveries and exploration. At the peak of this revolution, a new society was created. The Kryptonian embrace logic and control and cut their ties with nature to the point that, every child was now genetically engineering according to the social status of their houses. The need for control of the Kryptonian council led to a Civil War for the now scarce natural resources on the Planet.

In secret, the council begun to assemble an Elite team of high class men and women with military and scientific background. The head of the council put this team under the command of his own daughter, Sargeant Kara-Zor El, a veteran of the Kryptonian/Daxamite War and one of the best strategic minds in the planet. Equipped with a State-Of-The-Art terra forming device and a next generation Starligh explorer vessel, operated by the A.I BRAINIAC, the team was labeled as "Krypton's last hope"

After being farewell by her father, Kara's team headed it into space in search for a suitable planet for colonization. For the next 800 years, the team explore their sector, collecting all the data they could gather and creating a check list of possible planets, mostly uninhabited ones. One fatal day, all communications were lost. While the team kept up the hope of being just a malfunction, Kara took the hard decision to report the mission "Exodus" a failure and announced the council's contingency plan called Operation Kandor. The objective was to terra form the closest inhabited planet and breed a new batch of Kryptonians saved within the Codex.

The team couldn't realize that the communications were deliberately shut down by BRAINIAC, realizing that the Kryptonian kind was doomed to self destruction by nature, BRAINIAC was doing everything in his power to sabotage the mission from the inside. He erased the collected data, sabotaged the terra forming device and with all set and done, he begun to kill the crew. Kara discovered with horror the plan of BRAINIAC, but was already too late to stop him, for he had already won.

Knowing that the Codex cannot be erased or destroyed, BRAINIAC took it with him to a satellite and eject himself out of the vessel, leaving Kara to die Adrift in space with no communications, no fuel and surrounded by all her dead teammates. In the brink of despair and with little to no time left, she managed to restore the ship atmosphere and energy partially, however, the navigation system was damaged beyond repair. Kara accepted her faith and put herself in cryostasis. With no planned awakeing, she was wainting for Death to reunite her with her people, Destiny on the other hand had a bigger plan for her.

----------------------------

I'm finally back from my Vacations, ready to face a new year of delivering delayed commissions (the story of my life), however, i wanted to start 2016 with something that didn't come from the request of another. Since i made my CWVerse Superman last year, i toyed with the idea of bring Supergirl into my head canon. Something ironic about her is that she is basically Superman with boobs and blond hair and yet, i find her much more interesting that her cousin in many ways, particularly by the fact that, by being raised on Krypton, not only she has a harder time fitting in but she also feel the death of Krypton on a more personal level that Clark would ever feel.

Not only i wanted to emphasize that on her revamp, but also gave her a totally different personality fruit of her education and upbringing in a world with different codes and doctrines and even morals. She is now much more cunning and skilled, as well as more disciplined and resourceful, like any good soldier.

As for the design, i went through several redo's to get it right, like my CWVerse Superman, her suit is a standard issue Solar suit designed as a life support for missions in outerspace. Under a krypton like environment, it enhance her natural abilities and reduce the need for sustenance. On earth the suit enhance her new found powers obtained by the younger sun and earth's atmosphere. it can also change it's shape according to the user's needs and allows some limited camouflage, you can't turn yourself into another person with it, but you can change your facial features to some degree, in her case, different hair and eyes color and a tan. Like my first supergirl, i wanted her suit to be unique and different, not just another superman outfit.

I hope you like it and Happy Valentine

Excellent Take on the girl of steel. As a HUGE Supergirl fan, I always love to see interesting reimaginings of the character, and they seldom come better than what you've done here. Certainly a very interesting idea. I've always felt that the kryptonian abilities should be more a result of engineering rather than just being weakly blamed on the sun. Kudos to you :D

My only complaint would be the lack of a cape. I mean, to each their own of course, and your design certainly looks great without one. I just love them :P

Excellent work though, seriously. The whole concept is brilliantly thought out and wonderfully executed :heart:
