How old was Supergirl when she died in Crisis on Infinite Earths?

It has previously been established that Kara Zor-El was 15 when she crash landed on Earth at 12:17pm on 18th May 1959. But... how old was she when she died in Crisis on Infinite Earths..?

If she was 15 in 1959, then surely she would have been in her early 40s 26 years later in 1985? But a middle-aged Supergirl just doesn't seem right!

In her alter ego as Linda Danvers, Kara had grown up, graduated college, then been employed variously as a camera operator for a news channel, a college counsellor, and a daytime soap actress. She certainly wasn't a 15 year old girl any more, and she didn't look or act like she was approaching middle age, so how old was she..?

Aside from that one issue of Action Comics in 1960 when Kara celebrated a birthday, her exact age had been kept rather ambiguous. Time passes at an odd rate in the DC Universe. While some adult characters seem to never grow a day older, the junior characters are often allowed to slowly age from childhood into early adulthood. By her mid-1970s run in Superman Family, Kara was assumed by most fans to be in her mid 20s. Even though DC Comics had been careful to never verify her exact age, it was a plausible answer given how the character was depicted in her stories.

But that was to suddenly change! Supergirl was re-launched into her own title in 1982, and with it came a substantial change of policy.

The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #1 soft-rebooted Supergirl's origin, skipping over her various jobs as Linda Danvers (as if they never happened) and the rediscovery of her Kryptonian parents in the Survival Zone, resetting the character back to being a college student once more. In lieu of a letters page, the first issue featured a two page editorial introducing the new title and its creative team. In sympathy with the soft-reboot, the article's opening paragraphs definitively set Kara's age as just 19 years old!

So, after years of ambiguity, DC was now giving a specific answer -- but it was an answer that seemed to be an odd fit with Supergirl's recent adventures.

Naturally, fans took notice..!

By issues 4 and 5 of DNAOS, letters responding to the new comic were starting to be published. And Kara's sudden re-aging was obviously going to be a topic of discussion. Issue 4 contained a long answer that sought to justify the decision. The driving force behind the move was, it was explained, to ensure Supergirl didn't become too much like her cousin Superman. Having Supergirl be in her mid 20s, and Linda Danvers be a career professional, was just too close to Superman and Clark Kent -- at least that's what DC feared.

Whether fans agreed with the de-aging or not, as of DNAOS #1 Supergirl's official age was 19 according to DC Comics.

So, to return to the original question, how old was Supergirl when when she died in Crisis on Infinite Earths #7..?

There's obviously a near three year gap between November 1982 when the editorial in DNAOS #1 was published, and October 1985 when CoIE #7 was published, but it is very clear that when DC soft-rebooted Kara Zor-El as a 19 year old college student they intended that she shouldn't start to drift once again towards her mid-20s. The plan seemed to be that -- just like her cousin Superman -- Supergirl's age was to be permanently fixed (at least until some later creative team might come along and decided to unfix it.)

With that in mind, we can reasonably conclude that Kara was still 19 years old when she died in Crisis on Infinite Earths #7. As such her whole career as Supergirl, from seeing the destruction of her Argo City home, to crash landing on Earth and becoming Supergirl, to sacrificing herself to save multiple universes, took place in just a four year span..!

That's quite an incredible journey. That's quite an incredible hero..!

Crisis on Infinite Earths - Carrier Research

This is an extract from my current research and is unfinished. With print, the spoken word is given visual representation. As McLuhan discusses in his 1964 book Understanding Media (McLuhan.1964), the notion of visual representation of speech also comes with the properties of speech. However, due to print only being able to show what is said, timing and tone are missing and must be implied based…

I will always think that COIE erasing Earth-Two was a mistake. I like the JSA in their post-crisis role. I like tons of post-crisis content. However Earth-Two shouldn’t have been deleted. They could’ve kept the writers for Huntress, Infinity Inc, and All-Star Squadron on those titles.  Infinity Inc and Young All-Stars both ultimately suffered due to being written post-crisis. I like the characters introduced in Young All-Stars, but I’ll always be disappointed that Earth-Two didn’t get to continue I LIKE the post-crisis status quo of the JSA but I also like the JSA on their own Earth with their own young team. But Crisis on Infinite Earths changed that. I think they should’ve kept most of the ending but kept Earth-Two, and retire the present of Earth-One, but not the future (LoSH is the other title that ultimately suffered from COIE), and then have basically post-crisis New Earth as the one with all the reboots

A DC Reading List!

Since I started getting back into comics last year I've built quite a collection already! With the DC TPBs & Omnibuses I own I've enough to get a decent view of how DC has changed from the Golden Age (William Marston) to their Future State (Cloonan-&-Conrad). I'm beginning to read DC "from the start to now" & would love any Criticisms or Additions to my reading list!

1. Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman

2. Wonder Woman: War of The Gods by George Perez

3. Identity Crisis by Brad Meltzer

4. Superman: Last Son of Krypton by Geoff Johns

5. Flashpoint by Geoff Johns

5a. Batman: Zero Year, Batman: The Court of Owls, Batman: Night of The Owls, Batman: The City of Owls, The Joker: Death of The Family

5b. Wonder Woman New 52 Omnibus by Brian Azzarello, WW-N52 v7-9 by Meredith Finch

5c. Luthor bt Brian Azzarello

5d. Superman Doomed

6. Dark Nights: Metal by Scott Snyder

6a. Dark Nights: Death Metal by Scott Snyder

6b. Dark Nights: Metal - The Multiverse Who Laughs by Scott Snyder

7. Wonder Woman & Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour by James Tynion IV

7a. Justice League Dark: The Last Age of Magic by James Tynion IV

7b. Wonder Woman: The Just War by G Wilson

7c. Wonder Woman: Love is a Battlefield by G Wilson

7d. Wonder Woman: Loveless by G Wilson

8. Future State: Justice League by Ernie Altbacker

8a. Future State: Wonder Woman by Cloonan-Conrad

8b. Far Sector by N.K. Jemisin

8c. Future State: Batman - Dark Detective by Mariko Tamaki

8d. Future State: Batman - The Next Batman by John Ridely

With sections 7 & 8: AFAIK section 7 (which technically begins with Greg Rucka's Rebirth series & continues through Tamaki's Wonder Woman: Lords & Liars TPB) & all the Future State material (such as Trial of The Amazons & the new Yara Flor led Wonder Girl series) both somehow spin out of the multiversal wars that happen in the Dark Nights series. I'm just not exactly sure how yet they spin out of those events.

Also - a list of Standalones I own that don't exactly connect to the above list in a timeline manner:

1. Kingdom Come by Mark Waid

2. Who is Wonder Woman? by Dodson-Heinberg

3. Superman: Last Son of Krypton by Geoff Johns

4. Wonder Woman: The Golden Age v1-3 by William Marston

5. Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loed

6. Wonder Woman: Her Greatest Victories

6a. Wonder Woman: The Cheetah

6b. Wonder Womab 750 The Deluxe Edition

7. Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen: Who Killed Jimmy Olsen? by Matt Fraction

8. Wonder Woman: Earth One v1-3 by Grant Morrison

Imagination: I've got a great idea.

Me: Noooo, my head's full of too many ideas as it is - plus I REALLY need to stop fuckassing around and start working on my epic multicanon DC fic series...

Imagination: Wait, just hear me out for a second, please?

Me:

Me: Fine

Imagination: What if Perez's run on Wonder Woman...

Me:

Imagination: ...but it's about Donna Troy, who, instead of going through continuity-retcon hell, took up the Wonder Woman mantle after Diana's "death" in Crisis On Infinite Earths, just like Wally took up the Flash mantle?

Me:

Imagination:

Me: ...Sounds overly complicated, time-consuming, and almost certainly like it's never gonna see the outside of my head...
