Supergirl wean a brown wig as a disguise. As Supergirl, she is a stunning blonde. She stores her civilian clothes in a secret pocket of her Supergirl cape. Supergirl is Supermans cousin. She lived on a surviving planetary chunk of the planet Krypton, in a city called Argo where her name was Kara. When it became apparent that the city was going to blow, Supergirls parents shipped her off to Earth. Her adoptive Earth parents know of her secret identity. Phantom Lady Phantom Lady is known to the public as Sandra Knight, daughter of Sen. Knight. As Phantom Lady, Sandra Knight is described in comic books as a Mysterious woman of wonders, known and respected by honest men as a symbol of courage and strength and justice. The others, those who live by stealth, murder and crime, dare not utter her name without first drawing tneir guns to make sure they are ready for instant use! The Invisible Girl is Susan Storm Richards. Susan and three men attempted a flight to the stars. Sadly, there was a slight goof-u- p and the four were bombarded with cosmic rays. Of the fun foursome, Reed Richards became Mr. Fantastic (Elastic Man), Ben Grimm became The Thing, Johnny Storm, Susans younger brother, became The Torch. And Susan Storm? Susan became the Invisible Girl with the ability to project an invisible force field. She married Reed Richards. The Invisible Girl is a marvelous heroine because in addition to being a superhero she also is a mother and a wife. I think that is just as important as anything else. Everyone likes to meet colorful women. Jennifer Walters is as colorful as you can get. Jennifer is a well-rea- d lawyer who sometimes has difficulties with men. They are condescending and critical of her because she is a woman. However, Jennifer is given an opportunity to get back at all the wimpy men who have given her a bad time. She was involved in an accident and needed a blood transfusion. Her cousin, David Banner, donated blood to save her life. (We all know that David is the guy who becomes The Hulk when he is hurt or angry.) Anyway, with Davids blood zipping through her bloodstream, Jennifer discovered that she, too, could transform into an unusual creature. She becomes The Lovely Complexioa One of the major differences is is every bit as that The She-Hulovely as Jennifer Walters. David Banner was not always affable as The Hulk. In addition to being a vision of green loveliness. The She-Hugrows in height and strength. Whats more, in addition to enjoying being a girl, she enjoys being green. Given the choice, Jennifer, who has control over her transformations, opted for remaining The book writers decided to tone down her name, and she is now called The Cat . tough-minde- She-Hul- k! .... lk lk She-Hul- k. When readers get involved with other characters of the heroine type, the abilities of these women are often referred to as mutant powers. (Here we start talking about weird group affiliations.)
