Soviet Supergirl

Soviet Superwoman Commission by ~Bambs79 on deviantART

I like this Soviet Superwoman art by Bambs79. Very authentic and powerful!

She-Ra, Princess of Power!

She-Ra by *AdamHughes on deviantART

Awesome She-Ra sketch by Adam Hughes! Wild!

Super Snow White

Superheroine Snow White by *dcmatthews on deviantART

This is all kinds of sexy. David C. Matthews – the artist – describes it as a cross between Wonder Woman and Snow White. And the idea of a super-built, super-powered Snow White is almost enough to ensorcel me!

Cute Power Girl Sketch

PowerGirl by ~RogerPLude21 on deviantART

I really like this colored sketch of Power Girl.  It’s got energy, style and huge boobs.

Chun Li by Adam Hughes

… And Stay down by *AdamHughes on deviantART

You can tell how powerful Chun Li is, even before you notice the bloody boots. And Adam Hughes is the master, after all.

Mary Marvel in detention

I love this Sturkwurk take on bad Mary Marvel.

Power Girl looking powerful

Yowzers! In this image, Power Girl’s so full of power she looks about ready to pop!

Roxy & Fairchild swap

Roxy + Fairchild Swapped by *powerbook125 on deviantART

Very nice work showing Roxy as the super-strong, super-developed sister. I feel bad for skinny Caitlin Fairchild, though.

Caitlin Fairchild transformation

Here’s that great transformation scene from the 1999 Gen-13 movie that was released only years after it was made, and is still a bit hard to get. In it, Caitlin Fairchild is transformed from her normal frail, bookish nerd girl self into the statuesque, big-breasted and super-powered woman we all came to know and love.

Mary Marvel’s Corruption

I was googling around and found a great 2007 interview with Jerry Ordway in which he discusses – among other things – the “darkening” of the Mary Marvel character. Being no fan of Peter David myself, I found this bit particularly prophetic:

I had issues with the time that Peter David “borrowed” Mary Marvel for a Supergirl crossover, and immediately wanted to have her sexually molested in his story. Then Keith Giffen wanted her to lose her virginity in Formerly Known as the Justice League! Now it looks like the movement to gritty Mary up are finally getting their way in Countdown.

[...]

I’m no prude, but if you want to “violate” the intent of a character, create a new damn character, will you? Just my opinion.

Ordway will soon be returning to write Justice Society of America, and I expect him to resolve the current scattered state of the Marvel Family in the next year or two.
