Thanks for that bit of trivia. I actually love American comic characters, but I could never get into them as they're basically corporate storytelling vehicles, so I always stuck to Japanese stuff growing up as the creators have absolute control over their characters by virtue of Japanese law AFAIK, and IPs only become "corporate" if they're created by and licensed to a corporation or the creator grants license to a corporation to expand on the IP, i.e. Pokémon.Silver-Age Supergirl wore a brunette wig to pose as Linda Lee Danvers. It apparently worked in that universe.
I only really got into American comic characters with the cinematic universes after Ironman became a hit and the advent of Wikis, so there was a single continuity I could latch onto and wikis made it easy to contextualize the characters without having to delve into all the continuities in a granular way. But I do love the bits of trivia relating to all the various continuities created by different talents over the years.
One thing that has me worried though is how easily the DCEU got derailed and how quick Sony was to scrap it without any care as to how the fans would react, regardless of the Snyders dealing with their personal tragedy... In the end they still view the continuity as a corporate vehicle and don't value the integrity of the story.
