[edit] Matrix and the Kents

Matrix lived with/was raised by the Kents, but did they refer to her as their daughter? I can't remember. --Chris Griswold 14:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I checked my Supergirl comics, and they do refer to her as their daughter and have a loving parental relationship with her. After the merge, they continue to maintain that relationship, and become friends with Linda's birth parents as well. --Chris Griswold 19:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current Supergirl

I have a feeling that the current Kara Supergirl will adopt Linda Danvers as her secret identity. --Destron Commander 06:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miss Martian

After looking at the most recent October solicitations for Teen Titans on DC's website, is anyone aware of a connection between Miss Martian (the Female Martian Manhunter) and Linda Danvers?

[edit] Merge

NO!!! CovenantD 23:13, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I second the above NO regarding the proposed merger of the Matrix and Linda Danvers articles despite the irony that the character of Matrix merged into the dying person of Linda Danvers. The result was a new Linda/Supergirl, a very different being who gained a comic book presence of several years, adding to the former Matrix's even longer history. Supergirl appropriately summarizes the events, whetting the reader's appetite to further explore details of interest. Thus each one's article deserves even further development.

Do Not Merge. I could almost see merging Matrix (comics) with Supergirl, but there's too much information in there, and in here, to warrant such a merge. As it stands, I vote against merging any of the three articles into one another; whether the characters should merge is another story. :) --Joe Sewell 16:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Do Not Merge Linda Danvers actually seperated from the Matrix, but retained the some of the powers of Matrix, and became her own Supergirl, Linda and Matrix are two seperate people. NeoCoronis 03:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Since so far, no one is for the merge, can we remove the merge tag? NeoCoronis 04:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did she become Superwoman or not?

Who has the comic book in hand? If she was called Superwoman, please scan the page where it happened and post it here to settle this once and for all. If she was called that, it needs to be in the article. If Peter David simply planned to call her that but didn't get the opportunity, then it does not belong here in the form in which it has been stated. I have seen several good sources saying he planned to call her Superwoman, none that say he did it. Doczilla 09:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linda Danvers Picture

Is it possible to get a picture of her in Linda Danvers form? i.e. brown hair, etc. It just seems weird to me, since it's a signifigant part of the character that has been left out from the page, especially since it's one of her distinguishing features as a Supergirl.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Supergirl50.jpg

Image:Supergirl50.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
