All the female Legionnaires come down with a previously unknown ‘crimson virus’ which seems incurable. Who could be to blame for this? How about a mysterious individual named Satan Girl?
At first Satan Girl wants to join the Legion. For some reason, and it can’t possibly be the name Satan Girl, the Legionnaires don’t let her join. This cheeses off Satan Girl and she decides to finish off the ailing female Legionnaires.
Here’s Superboy using both his power of super-sensitivity and super-optimism while seeing the girls off to Quarantine World.
Speaking of super-sensitivity, here’s Bouncing Boy totally forgetting about his ailing friends because there’s some great bouncing on this planet!
It turns out Satan Girl is actually a duplicate (eeeevil duplicate) of Supergirl created by exposure to red Kryptonite. Her theory was that if she could siphon off the effects of the red Kryptonite onto others she would not cease to exist. The effects of red Kryptonite only last 48 hours and after that ‘red K’ Supergirl would merge back with Supergirl. Here’s two things I don’t understand about her plan:
- Why didn’t she go incognito? She named herself Satan Girl for sprock’s sake! That’s going to catch the attention of someone. She also tried to join the Legion. Why did she try to do that?
- Speaking of going incognito: why attack the Legionnaires? There’s a whole universe of normal non-super-powered individuals she could have used as red Kryptonite radiation recipients. Why pick the only group of people that both have super-powers and can figure out who she really is? She never said her victims had to be super-powered nor that she had a grudge against the Legion. She just picked the worst possible victims out of a universe full of great picks.
