Superwoman (Comic Book) | comment |
Superwoman is a 2016 comic book, published by DC Comics as part of their Rebirth initiative. It was initially written by Phil Jimenez & drawn by Matt Santorelli and Emanuela Lupacchino, while K. Perkins took over as writer midway through its run.Set in the aftermath of The Final Days of Superman, Lois Lane note (the New 52 one, not the Post-Crisis one appearing in Rebirth's Superman and Action Comics. and Lana Lang have been granted Superman's powers by a blast of energy the New 52 Superman released when he died — Lois essentially becomes a human Kryptonian, while Lana can manipulate electricity.As awesome as that sounds, these new powers come with an inconvenient caveat: they're killing both of them. While Superman often got headaches because of his abilities, Lois and Lana suffer from deadly nosebleeds.Deciding two Superwomen are better than one, Lois and Lana take on their first nemesis as superheroes: Lex Luthor, the "new" Superman of Metropolis. Realizing Lex isn't the root of their problem, the Superwomen investigate further — and Lois is then killed right before Lana's eyes by an unknown assailant.And all of that is only in the first issue!This series is notable for being the first ongoing title at DC to actually be called Superwoman, despite that name's history within the DC Universe.Not to be confused with any of the characters who've operated under the Supergirl or Superwoman name, the Who is Superwoman? storyline, nor the Youtuber known as IISuperwomanII. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
Superwoman (Comic Book) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Comparisons have been drawn between this series and Marvel's Thor, as they're both about ordinary human women who gain the superpowers of their former (male) lovers at the risk of their own health. Lana especially qualifies for this, since her powers are (not unlike Thor's) electricity-based. | |

Adaptational Sexuality: Steel's niece Natasha Irons makes her post-Flashpoint debut here, and mentions that she used to date a female engineer back in college. Whether she's a lesbian or bisexual isn't stated, but she definitely isn't straight. Dr. 13's daughter Traci 13 also makes her post-Flashpoint debut here as Natasha's girlfriend, having been Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes' girlfriend pre-Flashpoint. | |

It's All About Me: Lana finds out that Lex claims he built LexCorp in honor of Lena and further claims that he's always loved her very deeply. Lana deconstructs Lex's statement by listing how he crippled her for life because he thought he knew better then Lena's doctors and could cure her paralysis, patented the discoveries Lena made and used them to build a billion dollar company while giving her absolutely no credit or money, and then kept her hidden underground so she could keep working for him. Lana caps this off by stating it's likely Lex does love his sister, but his enormous ego keeps putting him in the way of that. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Lana's visions of Lois. Is she starting to crack up? Is Lois a ghost or scientific equivalent? Or something else? Further muddled when one of the Bizarro Superwoman clones reveals she can see Lois too, which surprises Lois. We find out in Superman Reborn, it's the "red energy" of the New 52 Lois Lane that eventually merges with the "blue energy" of the pre-Flashpoint Lois Lane. | |

Most Common Superpower: Unsurprisingly averted, since Phil Jimenez is outspoken about empowering female characters without objectifying them. Helps that one of the series' artists, Emanuela Lupacchino, is a woman. Later comics notably make Lana far bustier then she started in. Just compare her bust in 4 and 12. | |
