In her story, Ruthie notes, “This, of course, became the secret battle of Capes, which is the subject of ​​a number of fine epic poems, as well as a few bad ones. This comment does more than elevate Supergirl to Hercules-like legendary status; It pushes you out. While Hercules is often associated with epic poetry and heroism on Earth, the legend of Supergirl has expanded to an intergalactic scale. Her status is now higher than that of earthly heroes, which is her as a figure of cosmic fame.
As impressive as it is that Supergirl is the subject and inspiration for multiple galaxy-wide epic songs, Ruthye injects a bit of humor by quoting some cringe-worthy verses: – The yellow of her hair, the red of her lip; The wreck and the destruction of every ship. While the idea of ​​being immortalized in such a great work is undeniably coolIt’s easy to picture Cara cringing at the overly flowery lines. Although “The Wreck and Destruction of Every Ship” It’s undeniably badass, the rest of the verse may feel redundant. Despite its inherent cringeness, this remains a significant honor for Supergirl.
