Linda Danvers Costume History

 

Linda Danvers was Kara Zor-El's replacement as Supergirl, as Kara had been retroactively erased from existence. Linda gained her powers from a protoplasmic life-form called the Matrix, which not only allowed her to shapeshift into a tall statuesque blond at will, but endowed her with superhuman strength, flight, invulnerability, and telekinesis. As Supergirl, Linda wore a blue leotard with a red-and-yellow S-insignia along a gold belt, red skirt, red boots and red cape. Supergirl began to manifest flaming wings of pure energy as it was revealed that the act of Linda and the Matrix fusing had made her an Earth-born angel. During a fight with a demonic entity, the Matrix separated from Linda to save her soul. Despite no longer having the Matrix's powers, Linda somehow retained about half of her orignal super-human strength and limited invulnerability and continued to act as Supergirl. No longer able to shapeshift into her Supergirl form, Linda created a new costume using a blonde wig to hide her natural brown hair along with a white S-shield bare midriff t-shirt, white gloves, a blue minishirt, and a red cape with matching red combat boots. Linda was able to find the Matrix and free her from the demons who held her prisoner and Matrix used her angelic powers to give Linda back her original Supergirl powers before leaving to explore the world on her own.  When a version of the original Kara Zor-El appeared on Earth, Linda learned the young girl was destined to die and took her place on her reality. The Superman of this new reality realized that Supergirl was in fact not his cousin Kara and fell in love with Linda. The two married and had a daughter and Linda became Superwoman, wearing a modified version of her previous costume with replacing the t-shirt with a white leotard and adding a gold belt. Linda eventually ad to give up her new life and restore Kara to her correct reality when she learned that she had greatly altered the timeline and was going to cause multiversal devastation. Linda managed to ensure that her daughter would not be erased once the timeline was reset before being returned to her original reality. Devastated that she had sentenced Kara to die and would never see her daughter again, Linda gave up her life as a superhero. Somehow Linda and Matrix were fused back into an Earth-Born angel once more, with a white toga to match her new flaming white feathered wings, before being trapped in hell for eternity.

In a universe where Kara Zor-El was the only Kryptonian  hero on Earth, Linda never fused with the Matrix and instead used a jetpack and wrist blasters to be the hero known as Interceptor, wearing a red-and-blue bodysuit with a fiery gold angel symbol, a red mask with gold lenses, and silver boots.
