The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 2

Yup, Supergirl and Robin from Earth 2 went through a Boom Tube in Apokolips 2's attack on Earth 2, this led to them getting stranded on the main Earth (0) and becoming Huntress and Powergirl.

^^thanks!

So...prior to them coming to our earth, there was no helena Bertinelli?

And that recent huntress mini was infact THIS huntress AKA Robin?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Helena Bertinelli did exist, but not as Huntress. Helena Wayne assumed her identity upon arrival on this Earth. I believe this was explained in both the miniseries and World's Finest.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

thanks again

I've yet to read the mini...and actually only read the 1st issue of world's finest.

But it's definitely gonna be added to my pull-list.

And was the Huntress mini any good? loved the character ever since the Rucka's mini series and the more recent Huntress Year one

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

meh, it was okay. You might enjoy more than I did.

Well then wtf happened to Bertinelli?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Edit, beeyacth!

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Reebot! Never existed anymore. And the Karen Starr that was in Mr Teriffic, is the Supergirl from Earth 2 too.

 

[Anubis]

Then what are you talkin' about where they assumed their identities? I mean, if they were just regular *******s, wtf happened to them? Did they get sent to the other Earth? Did they just kill them and take their place like pod people?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I'm not actually sure what happened. The Huntress miniseries goes on all casually like it Helena Bertinelli and I'm pretty sure she's called Helena Bertinelli, then right at the end it says that she's the Helena Wayne from Earth 2. I think she took someone elses ID, but I only read the mini the once.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The answer's probably something like, "We don't f***ing know, someone else'll work all that out later." Sounds like the typical result of reboot shenanigans.

 

[Manic]

If Helena Wayne from Earth-2 just came to New Earth and changed her name to Helena Bertinelli, then what was the effing point in removing Helena Bertinelli from New Earth in the reboot?!

Power Girl? Fine. That's basically what her origin was, anyway. But Huntress/Helena? Jeeze.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe Helena Wayne got adopted by a mob family before she became Huntress on the main Earth.

 

[Panthro]

Why are Lana Lang and Lois Lane the only women in the DC Universe who find Superman attractive?

 

[Manic]

They're not the only ones who find him attractive. They're just the only ones he's dated. Well, them and that one mermaid.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Lori Lemaris. And clearly alliteration is important to Kryptonian mating.

 

[Manic]

There's a theory that it's a creepy Oedipus thing, what with his birth mother's name being Lara Lor-Van.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

When did her last name become "Lor-Van"? She was only ever referred to as "Lara" for as long as I can remember.

 

[Manic]

I don't know when it happened, but do a search for "Lara DC comics" and you'll find a bunch of people listing that as her full name.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eeenterestink. Also, gross about the Oedipal thing. Clark doesn't even have any first-hand memories of Lara.

 

[Manic]

I don't know if it'd be creepier, but let's be glad he's never dated anyone with the initials MC or MK.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

When did her last name become "Lor-Van"? She was only ever referred to as "Lara" for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, her last name is "Lor-Van", but the way I see it, is that on Krypton, women's last name is their father's full name, hence Supergirl's name being Kara Zor-El.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I knew that part; I just didn't know her father's name had been given as "Lor-Van." Like I said, she's usually just referred to as "Lara."

That is a really awkward naming system, though. Like women have literally no identity in Krypton except that which is defined by their relationships to men.

 

[Anubis]

Was a different time.....and planet....far....far....away.....and it blew up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The natural disasters were secretly caused by women's lib supporters.
