Summer Pockets Foot Festival

Welcome back to the Foot Festival series. Today, we will be heading to the island of the Seto Inland Sea and follow the life of Hairi Takahara, a young man who uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to escape to the island after an unpleasant incident in Summer Pockets. Once we're at the island and found a group of cute girls, whose feet do you want to play with after they remove their sandals?

Heel Turns Volume 3: Supergirl (Supergirl Celebration Tie-In)

Despite having a 7 year headstart, somehow we managed to get 3 Adventures in A.I. columns before Heel Turns made its return. Well..let's fix that...

Just to recap the "Heel Turn" series covers when Heroic female characters go bad for a bit. Heroines are great but they can often be very vanilla with their actions. Sometimes it is more fun to see them cut loose as dominating villainess for a bit.. With close to 70 years of Supergirl has gone through ever possible troupe for going evil.  Here are some famous times we got to see the Girl of Steel go bad

Dark Supergirl

This is one of the most popular alternate versions of Supergirl. This storyline depicting Supergirl donning the above black outfit  occurred over 20 years ago and to this day it is still a popular choice for Cosplayers and fan favorite. Kotobukiya also released 2 ultra sexy limited editions Bishoujo Figures of her which inspired a lot of the images in this tribute...

Sometimes with the evil version of Supergirl we are dealing with an Evil Twin. Other times its a due to  a variant of Kryptonite. This time around its both. Lex Luthor exposed Kara to Black Kryptonite which wound up creating an evil twin of her.

Of course if they give her a pose we'd definitely want to try for a barefoot variant as well.

The Aforementioned Bishoujo figure of her.

I used it as a model to generate some custom images of her testing various styles

I'm unsure why the model made her hair so dark. I did try to give her a lighter shade of color.

I also updated her pose a bit. ^_^

Dark / Black Kryptonite Supergirl was  a total badass.. She took on multiple DC Superheroes, the good version of herself and Lex Luthor and held her own against them.

Finally it took a tag team from Supergirl and multiple other heroes to stop her. Eventually Wonder Woman tied the two Supergirls together using her Lasso to reveal the true Supergirl and once again merged her with her duplicate.

I also liked her design a lot. It helped Michael Turner contributed to her character appearance. He is one of my favorite artists to work on Supergirl

Red Kryptonite

This is probably one of the most frequent reasons that Supergirl has a Heel Turn. Red Kryptonite has unpredictable results for Kryptonians but more often then not... it makes them go bad.  Even issues of the silver age Supergirl show succumbing to the meteor's affect behaving badly.  One of the best versions of Evil Red Kryptonite Supergirl though comes from the Arrowverse Supergirl.

The episode fallen had Supergirl encounter the substance and she went full heel. We saw her dominating people, resting her feet on a desk with complete disregard for everyone else...

 and stepping on a villain's thought while taunting him about how weak he was...

We also got a rare glimpse of Kara's toes in this series as she power walked into her Cat Grants office with Red Kryptonite inspired confidence.

I'm also going to include the trailer for the episode which was awesome. The way Kara delivered the Ending line gives me goosebumps. "Look at that city. They worship me... and those that don't ...will!!"

Speaking of Arrowverse Supergirl, she does have an evil alternate universe version called Overgirl who appeared in one of the major Arrowverse crossovers called Overgirl

In the Arrowverse Supergirl is one of the more powerful characters so you can imagine she caused quite a bit of trouble for the team. She also has an animated version as well who appeared in the Ray mini-series...

As a little bit of a supplement to the Arrowverse Evil Supergirl section. I saved a set of images of her actress Melissa wear she was hot leather outfit.

The tight black leather really give off a bad girl vibe

That is one lucky  couch getting to be trampled by her like that. 😛

This was one of the inspirations for one of the chapters in the Supergirl story I wrote.

Ok... onto the next incarnation...

Apokolips Supergirl

This Evil version of Supergirl was captured and brainwashed by the DC comics villain Darkseid to become one of his female furies.

During this evil turn she was shown to be quite playful. She was shown dominating and stepping on Superman in her debut.  My memory played a few tricks on me with this one. I also thought she wore sandals in this outfit but it seems to be red soled boots. Of course that's not going to stop me from posting barefoot edits of her in this. :-D

This version of her was drawn by artist Michael Turner as well. You can see why I am really a fan of his artwork. ^_^  This Comic book arc was adapted in the the Animated move Superman / Batman Apocalypse...

Some Gemini edits of this version of her too. ^_^

Moving along... Our next evil version of Supergirl is...

The Supergirl Who Laughs

This evil version the character appeared in the comic book storyline Dark Knights Death Metal written by Scott Snyder. An evil version of Batman from an alternate reality (The Batman Who Laughs) gets infecteds Joker laced kryptonite. She join his team to cause havoc for the DC Supergeroes.

This incarnation of her has a really intense design giving her sort of a Goth Banshee type of appearance. I could totally picture her a Rock singer with that look. Of all her villain turns I can picture this version of her being the most chaotic!!

Satan Girl

This version of Supergirl of Evil more recent when the Kandorean scientist Leslie Lar used an invention on Supergirl to make her a vuillain. Leslie wanted to steal Supergirl's spotlight so she impersonated Supergirl trying to swap roles with her. The scientist wound up biting more than she could as Supergirl's evil persona Satan girl emerged. The device Leslie used intended to also make Supergirl stupid so she the heroine would be a threat but the Kandorean wound up creating a total menace. As Satan girl, Kara wound up launching incredibly mischievous and destructive pranks ruining things for the scientist completely.

I like that the also gave Krypto (Superman's dog) a Satan persona as well with this. He looked very cute albeit menacing. :-p Also the Satan girl look heavily reminded me of the Red Lantern Bleez. I guess it makes sense because they are both based on Devils. 

Nightflame

This villainess incarnation of Supergirl represents the dark thoughts which lurk in Supergirl's subconscious. The battles Supergirl undergoes against happen within her mind so the battles against Night Flame occur in her dreams.In Supergirl's dreams Nightflame has the ability to summon and control demons which also can manifest themselves as Supergirl's darker memories.  It is a  very metaphysical struggle. 

This morning when I was adding the character to this tribute, I actually discovered that both Nightflame and Satan Girl had appearances in much earlier Supergirl comic. You really have to give the current team a lot of credit for tying a lot of obscure classic references in the current series. This was Nightflame's appearance in the Bronze age comics. It has a little bit of a bondage them to it with Supergirl tied up.

The cover of her modern age appearance does a similar homage to it

I actually tried generating an A.I image of a full body image of the classic version of Nightflame. It's actually pretty impressive it was able to do that.

Of course from  the Full body shot I generated some barefoot images of her too. ^_^

In preparation for this tribute I watched a video regarding Nightflame from casually comics. It really goes into good depth about this character's background if you guys are interested. It makes me want to look for the original story involving her.

I like both the classic designs for this character. The old version of her has this cool warrior look and she reminds me a little bit of the Enchantress from Thor. I also see a little bit of Red Sonja in her look as well though there is the obvious blonde hair difference. The green flaming sword is awesome. Her modern design gives her her a more goth vampiress look to which is also incredibly hot!!

Ok... the last Heel Supergirl up is...

Brainiac Enforcer Supergirl

With the variety of reasons that Supergirl goes bad... we haven't seen the Raised to be Evil trope occur yet. This one takes care of that. In the My Adventures with Superman cartoon... she is raised by the Superman villain Brainiac to be a warrior after the lose of her home planet. Unbeknownst to her, he was secretly using her to conquer worlds...

I like this My Adventures with Superman version of Supergirl a lot. As a villain she is very strong even managing to take out Superman (with some assistance from Brainiac). She is very energetic and unused to earth custom we get a lot of fun scenes with her. Kara does eventually find out she is being out she is being manipulated and ultimately heads Superman to defeat Brainiac making for a really.

If you are wondering why I didn't post any of this version of Kara outside of Brainiac's control yet... well....I can see the way the poll is headed. Unless there is a radical change in the next couple of days... you know what my Supergirl finally post will be.

On that note... more to come soon!

Up up and away!!
