🖤Meet our Kara Zor-El🤍

💚Art by our talented contributor @dandeidolon ❤️

Kara was sent to Earth to protect her baby cousin.

Instead, she arrives to find him already grown; no longer Kal-El of Krypton, but Khalil of Palestine. Superman.

She survives the destruction of her homeworld only to land in another world shaped by occupation, displacement, grief, and survival. Palestine becomes her second home not because it is peaceful, but because people continue loving, rebuilding, laughing, resisting, and protecting one another despite everything being done to break them.

Kara is impulsive, emotional, reactive, and deeply empathetic. She carries immense survivor’s guilt from Krypton and an almost self-destructive need to protect others from experiencing the same loss she did. She believes no one deserves to be dehumanized, and when confronted with cruelty toward defenseless people, she struggles to stay restrained.

Her greatest fear is not death.

It is becoming a weapon.

A symbol emptied of humanity.

It's just that both writers and readers straight-up forget about all those successful examples and focus so much on the Joker, the one villain who seems to be doing villain things with the very specific purpose of forcing Batman to break his no-kill rule.

If I found out my nice neighbor who helped me jumpstart my car at the god awful hour of 5am was Superman? NOBODY'S GETTING SHIT FROM ME I KNOW NOTHING!

a) bro can shoot lazer eyes

b) bro is minding his own business, I can do the same

c) The moment I start blabbing I get involved and I DO NOT want to be involved with the day to day life of a fuckin superhero. So I don't know shit, okay?

My lawyer's some vigilante. Sounds like a conflict of interest but what do I look like? A cop? My trash collector is a superhero? Anyway, thanks buddy, have a great one, say hi to the kids for me. I watched my waiter at McDonalds absolutely throw hands with a supervillain. That's crazy, anyway here's a 30% tip in cash. Good luck with those student loans.
