Since her first appearance in Action Comics #252 in the late 1950s, Supergirl has undergone nearly 30 costume changes. Mostly, she sticks to the brand’s blue and red colors, but every now and then, she changes up her color palette, like recently when she switched to all-red to become the new Red lantern.
Sometimes daring, sometimes risky, sometimes boring, and sometimes very ’80s, Supergirl never disappoints. Here’s a look at some of the most dangerous, crazy, and interesting superhero costume choices for DC’s most powerful heroine.
Supergirl V Adventure Comics #409
This 1971 Supergirl costume featured a daring, even shocking, design for the time, leaving both sides of her body completely devoid of fabric. Her costume was part of a series in which fans submitted their own designs DC Comics.
She’s not quite ready for battle; It’s hard to imagine her going toe-to-toe with the devil girl and keeping everything PG in her outfit. It’s also out of character for Kara Zor-El, who doesn’t usually lean toward blatant sexuality in her costume. This Supergirl costume belongs to someone like Poison Ivy, but she probably deserves props for being bold.
Supergirl in Adventure Comics #410
The Supergirl Adventure Comics #410 costume has three different variations. For simplicity, we’re grouping them as one look here. It features a deep V-neck and this is the only time Supergirl comes close to showing the chest area. Following this design, all future Supergirl costumes avoided the V-neck.
Supergirl in Superman: The Animated Series
The first time Kara exposed her stomach was for Superman: The Animated Series in 1996. Since then, this crop top style has proven to be a popular design choice for comic book writers. Many future fashionistas used different shapes in this bare midriff design.
Supergirl in Superman/Batman #13
One of the latest issues of Supergirl was drawn by now-deceased artist Michael Turner. His design features the bare stomach that appeared for the first time Superman: The Animation series but were drawn more realistically and, in some ways, more lightly.
This is it Compatible with all Turner female character graphics. This particular issue was also noteworthy for retelling Supergirl’s origin in the DC comic universe.
Supergirl in Superman/Batman 8 (German Edition).)
In this case, her costume is used more as a costume than an actual costume. Therefore, you should probably not rely on it. However, this is the most revealing cover design for Supergirl. Like the design of Superman/Batman #13, this was also drawn by the late Michael Turner.
The book itself is a rare find, having only been published in German as a variant cover of the German edition of Superman/Batman #8. This book costs over $300, and you won’t often find a copy available on Ebay.
