Summary
- Supergirl’s super-powered pet horse, Comet, helps her claim an INSANE feat that not even Superman has managed.
- Supergirl proves she can overcome Superman’s greatest weakness, magic.
- This new god-tier ability elevates Supergirl to new heights, matching the phenomenal feat of Wally West’s Flash.
Supergirl has officially overcome one of Superman’s greatest weaknesses with a feat that only Flash Wally West could previously claim. This new god-tier ability is as astounding as it is effective, elevating Kara Zor-El to the epitome of ‘work smarter, not harder’—something the Man of Steel could certainly learn a thing or two from.
Comet and Supergirl manage to run to the end of the universe, a phenomenal feat matched by only one other character in the DCU—The Flash.
Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Mat Lopes’ Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #6 sees Kara’s rematch with Krem of the Yellow Hills. After Krem used a piece of magic called the Mordru Globe to send Supergirl to a planet with deadly beasts and a Kryptonite sun in the previous issue, Kara returns for their second encounter.
As expected, Krem uses the Mordru Globe against her again, but this time, before the magic can transport her away, Kara mounts her trusty steed, Comet, and begins a high-stakes race against the piece of magic, speeding all the way to the end of the universe and beyond.
Supergirl Pulls a Wally West By ‘Running’ to the End of the Universe
When Krem first unleashes the Mordru Globe, Supergirl begins to run from it, prompting the villain to call her stupid and say, “Don’t matter how super you are! No man or woman can outrun a Mordru Globe.” However, it soon becomes clear that Kara isn’t trying to outrun it herself; she plans to ride Comet, her super-powered pet horse. Supergirl instructs Comet to run “to the end of the universe and a little bit further. Fast as your feet’ll take you.” With a determined neigh, Comet takes off at a blistering pace, racing across the universe as the Mordru Globe chases them.
Comet and Supergirl manage to run to the end of the universe, a phenomenal feat matched by only one other character in the DCU—The Flash. One of Wally West’s greatest achievements, which cemented him as the fastest speedster in the DC Universe, was when he outran not only his own death but the death of the entire DC Universe in The Flash #141 by Mark Millar, Pop Mhan, Joshua Hood, and Chris Ivy. The Flash defeated death by racing to the very edge of the universe, where death itself wasn’t even a concept. Supergirl employs a similar strategy to outrun the Mordru Globe.
Supergirl Proves That Kryptonians Can Beat Magic By Outrunning It
As Supergirl and Comet reach beyond the end of the universe, they stop running and wait for the Mordru Globe to catch up. Kara reflects on how magic has always been a “tricky” thing for her to handle, subtly acknowledging it as a significant weakness for any Kryptonian, including Superman. She then says, “But I know this much at least. What works back there… doesn’t necessarily work here,” before popping the Mordru Globe as if it were nothing more than a soap bubble. This feat proves that Supergirl can overcome one of her and Superman’s greatest weaknesses—magic.
