Description I felt in the mood to draw my favourite DC fan pairing, enjoying a night out only to be interrupted by gun wielding thugs about to make an error...

With Power girl appearing in Harley Quinn as the correct version with no explanation given ( or really needed ) and the quantum energy powered Captain Atom returning ( look up the 'Fall and Rise of Captain Atom' miniseries, the writer seems to be making Cap usable again for other writers, which is great, odd thing is Cap is now blonde haired in his flesh form rather than grey/white, not that it really matters ), i'm paying attention to DC once more.


When i finished this i realised that visually the pair could easily pass for Marvels Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and Steve Rogers/Captain America.

I'm about to start shipping this two despite Captain Atom being already married if I recall right. So I'm blaming you for that

Carol/Steve one also makes sense for some reason...

Yep, Cap has been married twice in the 1987-2011 DCU, his first wife died and his second ex-wife was a super powered Canadian separatist terrorist and mercenary. Since 2011's reboot Cap has been married but again his wife died, so a relationship at some point with Karen would be fine, so keep shipping .

I agree, i think Steve and Carol could work well together, but as far as i know, no writer seems to have considered it.

Little late, I know but in a What If comic from a while back there WAS a bit of a Steve/Carol shipping going on. Basically the plot being if the heroes got stuck on Battleworld after Secret Wars and made a life there, while Carol wasn't part of that due to being in a coma due to Rogue at the time in that comic Carol's personality and memories ended up resurfacing and permanently supplanting Rogue's, Xavier believing it may have had to do with Rogue's long latent guilt over what happened with absorbing Carol's powers. Rogue effectively dead,and Carol kind of back so to speak, she eventually hooked up with Steve and had a daughter.... It was WEIRD set up for a ship, but it happened.

Hm, they always seem to take the most awkward, convoluted route for these things...

Looks great. Could I request one with Supergirl and Captain Marvel...or Kara and Billy. 

(I'm trying to decide on a pairing for Billy in my story) Kara or Zatanna most likely.

Thanks. I've always liked the pairing of Billy with Stargirl but i might have a go at Kara and Billy in the new year.

I know Stargirl is his only canon pairing but I don't know her well enough to write her IC. 
I hope you do decide to do the Billy/Kara pic. Either way I'll look forward to more art from you.

You know what? I didn't ship them before. I do now. So much. Makes sense. And damn your art is good
Reminds me of the time when two thugs decided to rob X-23's apartment, when she was home, with old man Logan and Gabby. Hilarious ^^

Thanks i think they just work somehow, but no writer ever picked up on it. The closest was in the 2010/11 story Justice League Generation Lost, where the writer remembered they had been friends since the days of Justice League International and Nate kept meeting future versions of Karen. Then the New 52 reboot got rid of it all.

I haven't read much marvel in ages but that sounds like a really bad move by the thugs

Great job overall.  Nice work.  But I just cant see PG wearing a choker collar as Karen Starr!  Not her type of accessory.

adamantis In reply to GWHH [2017-06-18 12:45:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I think she wore a choker collar in the late 70's and on and off depending on the artists, but i drew it here simply to imitate the style of her high collar costume.

I am. HUGE PG fan. Never seen ANY of her official costume with a stand alone choke collar.

Now this is really sweet.  

Been trying follow Powergirl in the DC "Earth 2: Society", it's difficult having a convoluted plotline with very few appearances by PeeGee, and with dual suns, red and yellow, she can only operate in the yellow daytime; she's already fallen out of the sky at least once fighting the bad guys when the red sun came up and drained her power and she had to be caught by another superheroine (I think it may have been Hawkgirl).

It's a really messed up series about the Earth-2 heroes who have been transported to a world they have to terraform, and fight off baddies while they're at it.  I'm not too fond of the idea of keeping (and demeaning) one of DC's premiere characters in an alternate universe because the "powers-that-be" at DC don't think a beautiful, busty superheroine is "politically correct" for today's comic fans.  She needs her own series, where she can be the Powergirl that you have (thankfully) preserved for us fanboys here on dA.  Keep doing her, my friend!

Thanks

As far as i can tell from Power Girl's most recent guest appearance in Harley Quinn ( with Atlee also guest appearing ), The character in the Earth 2 Society comics is no longer meant to be the main DCU Power Girl, so she can stay in Earth 2.

It looks as though the classic Power Girl has been allowed to slip through the cracks of continuity once more and is as she was in her 2009/2010 series, still living in New York ( hence the crossover with Harley, now also based in New York ).

Wow (to say the least).  Well, if she at least turns up in the Harley series, I guess that's best we can expect.  It just seems like such a forced coupling of a hero and a villain for comedy purposes.  DC has really decided to ignore the character and leave it that way.  I really hate DC with a passion.

Well it's going to be a while before they meet -if ever- in the current DCU, so i guess i'll have to keep drawing them

For a moment i was confused by you using the name Allen instead of Nathaniel, but that was the name of the Charlton comics version.

Wow... she looks really good in regular clothes.

(And half of the comics multiverse could pass for Steve Rogers or Henry Pym.  My friend and I had a running joke of that's the reason why Wasp's marriage was so rocky, when guys like Aquaman are hopping universes for a night with her... )
