I didn't say she has to die.
Querl says that she's dead, this one is dead by his timeline, i.e. when she's his age.
He's mourning her, she can never be with him at his age, which is the current retroboot age of the Legionnaires.

He didn't mean that she died of old age, he meant that he lost her at about the age as the original Kara died.

Really, he said it and implied it multiple times in the New Krypton storyline. [/b]
If something wasn't going to save her from this death they wouldn't have brought it up.


Why is it that the two Karas are seen as so separate but people group Silver Age Superman and Modern Superman together. Its the same principle.

I'd go with Kara also. Clark is the "Greatest Hero of all time." So the story goes, but where does that leave Kara? Is she as popular as Wonder Woman in her own time? doubtful? I agree with others that she seems like a better fit in the Legion's time.

I believe Kara should end up in the 30th century this time much like the "Long way home" episode of Justice League Unlimited.

A lot of good reasons for keeping Kara here. But I am too much of a traditionlist to want anyone other than Kal in the legion (if we can only have the one that is as i actually like both)

To me having Kal be Superboy means he needs the Legion more now than they need him.

If we take the analogy of a superstar footballer like say Beckham, he did not appear as the complete finished article at 21. He worked his way up through junior teams to the reserves and then the first team. So i se Kals time withthe legion like this. In the future he can learn hone his skills make his mistakes so that when he goes public as SUPERMAN he is the finished item.

In the 'Supergirl' annual, this Kara sees her death.
Imra made her forget it, but Brainy says, not that she won't die in that battle but that THIS time she won't die alone, implying that he and/or the other Legionnaires will be there for her.

I personally hope that she doesn't die, but it's certainly said and shown that she will.

And, this isn't the same Kara because it just isn't.
Anymore than that some fans feel that this isn't really the same Legion as the original, even though it was touted to be.

I don't find this Kara to be very believeable, particularly heroic or even very smart or charming.
She just doesn't hold a candle to the original, imo.

DC brought back the original Flash, not a reboot version.
Supergirl deserves the same thing.

I can't explain Superboy.
