In the comic book genre, DC Comics came up with a superheroine called Wonder Woman who was the answer to DC's Superman. The most recent version of Wonder-Woman's origin goes like this:

Queen Hippolyta wants to have a child. She goes to the beach of Paradise Island (the abode of predominantly European Amazons), and makes an infant child effigy out of clay and takes it to a sacred cavern where the goddesses and the god Hermes are summoned.

The goddess, Demeter gives her the power and strength of the earth, Aphrodite gives her great beauty and a loving heart, Athena endows her with wisdom, Artemis gives her hunting powers and a oneness with animals, Hestia gives her the energies of fire so she can have charisma among men, and Hermes gives her supernatural speed and the ability to fly. Gaia gives the effigy the gift of life so it becomes a living human being. This is like a Genesis story with the infant.

Diana is like Adam made from dust. Paradise Island is the Eden, Seven beings like the Seven Spirits of God (Elohim) create and give life to Diana Prince. Each deity is putting the essence of who they are into Diana, Diana Prince suggests androgyny like Amazon, and she is obviously an avatar of Goddess (all goddesses are one). As Wonder-Woman she is Amazon. Therefore again, the Black African goddess Amazon has been turned into an Anglo-American goddess.

It will be clear that the Wonder-Woman character is based upon Liberty in her combat aspect as portrayed in World War I and II. She resembles Liberty in the colour of the hair, facial features; costume and so on. In her combat mode, Liberty is called Columbia (Gem of the Ocean). Other names for the American version of Amazon are Liberty, America, the Republic, Dynamo, Columbia, American Amazon, Freedom, Justice, Truth, Goddess of America and Purity.

It is therefore quite clear that the original Black African goddess spoken of in African and AfroAsiatic cultures was the same prototype used by the Caucasian tribes as an emblem of their military exploits and the ideal for their race.

The American Supergirl of D C Comics is very popular in many countries, where this blonde, blue-eyed super heroine embodies the Eurocentric principle of womanhood which is promoted in Anglo-America in the movies, on television, in magazines, romance, science fiction, sword and sorcery, and fantasy novels. However, most people in the Anglo-American and African-American communities are not aware that the ancient Black African goddess Auset (Isis) of Kemet is the prototype of the American Supergirl and all other superheroines that are seen in the comic book genre.

In other words, everything that has been said with reference to the American Supergirl had already been written thousands of years ago about Auset the goddess. It is important to the Black community that we honour the Auset concept, as its empowering effect for Black men, Black women, and Black children can be great.

Information will be presented that exposes when Supergirl was Black and African, starting with a comparison that lists the two heroic figures known as Auset and Supergirl.

1. Both have the same name which is KARA.

2. Auset lives in the Ark, Argha, or Argo. Supergirl is from Argo City.

3. Both travel through and from inner space or the etheric realm of the watery deep inside of an Egg.

4. Both rise up out of a Lotus from the watery deep.

5. Both heroines fight against and defeat the Shadow sometimes known as Set, Satan or the Dragon.

6. Both use lightning as a weapon against the Shadow.

7. Both have powers from the sun, though Auset is described as being the sun.

8. Both are Angels of Fire with wings of fire, and they use fire as a weapon.

9. Both have superhuman or supernatural powers such as travelling through the air at enormous speeds, invulnerability, a degree of omniscience, and goddess-like strength.

10. They are called Matrix and are shape shifters.

11. They are famous for their physical beauty, wisdom, and love.

12. They both revive men from a death-like state.

13. Both of them are on a quest to find something that was lost.

14. Auset casts Set, the Shadow down into the bottomless pit, and Supergirl casts the Shadow into the Phantom Zone.

15. They both have secret identities among humans.

16. Auset is Maat which means Truth, Justice, and Righteousness. Supergirl fights for Truth, Justice, and the American Way just like Superman.

17. Both Auset and Supergirl are recognized as the Shekhina, the Female Glory and Power of God. Now you can clearly see that Auset and Supergirl show more than a little resemblance to each other.

Auset, the predecessor of Supergirl by thousands of years, was worshiped by the name of Kara and in modern times, Supergirl has this same name.

Kara was the name used to describe the diverse forms or aspects of the Supreme Father-Mother God Ra or Atum-Ra in ancient Egyptian religion.

D C's Supergirl has manifested in the comic book world as three major incarnations which is important know as the comparisons between her and the predecessor Auset (Isis) is looked at.

This avatar Supergirl the Kryptonian, has the following powers:

a. x-ray vision

b. telescopic vision

c. heat vision

d. invulnerability to practically anything except for some types of kryptonite and magic.

e. super speed of movement

f. the ability to fly through the heavens at speeds beyond the speed of light so that she can time travel.

g. super breath to put out fires, freeze and shatter objects, move objects about etc.

h. super-senses such as hearing, touch, smell, taste etc.

i. little or no form of physical aging, sickness, etc.

This Supergirl had been time travelling when she encountered Red Kryptonite, and its radiation separated her good personality from her evil personality. The good (angelic) Supergirl fought against and defeated her evil aspect called Satan-Girl, and also a similar evil aspect called Night Flame. As a result, Supergirl purified of all evil, was considered by some writers as being an angel. She was killed in the Crisis Earth Series.

The second avatar of Supergirl was Matrix. A benevolent Lex Luthor in an alternate universe created Matrix as a type of Supergirl to stop three Kryptonian super criminals. She defeated them but was so devastated by the experience that Superman brought her to the earth in the universe where he lived so she could regenerate. She was also called Mae, a synthetic life form that has shape-changing powers, invisibility, telekinesis, and the personality of Lana Lang.

Thousands of years ago, Auset (Isis) was the original Angel of Fire, Matrix, Shekhina, and Trinity of God. Auset was known throughout the civilized world as the MATRIX which is the Womb, Mater, and Mother within from which everything is formed and created. Matrix is God the Mother.

Matrix (Auset) is the pattern or model of the universe which is why in her form as Nut, she is portrayed as the universe, a beautiful Black woman stretched across the ether as if she is flying, while her body is covered with the infinite stars and galaxies of space-time.

Auset (Isis) is the prototype of the powers attributed to Supergirl whose x-ray vision, telescopic vision, and heat vision were already conceptualized in ancient Kemet by The All-Seeing Eye of God who is Auset herself. As the All-Seeing Eye of God, the Eye Goddess (Het-Heru, Sekhmet) has omniscience to see into the nature of everything, even into time and space.

Auset, using her Words of Power has control over nature which is the basis for the idea of telekinesis used by the angel-Supergirl. Auset used her heat vision to burn up evildoers on earth who had overcome the good people of earth as discussed in the story about Het-Heru who came to earth as the Eye of God called Sekhmet.

David Talbott has used science and myth to confirm the very strong possibility that this Eye of God was the alignment of Saturn, Venus, and Mars which would have resemble a gigantic "eye" in the sky. This Eye is the protective power of Hercules, which by the way parallels the story of D C's Superman.

In Supergirl the movie, the superheroine battles against the Shadow, Set-Satan-the Dragon. Black Africans of Cush and Kemet celebrated stories more than two thousand years ago about Auset (Isis) who fought against Set, the god of evil to the death, always ending with Auset destroying him.

In her first encounter with Set she was pregnant with her son Heru. Set changed his form to that of a terrible dragon and chased her across the skies. She developed wings as Isis to escape him. When he tried to burn her with fire from his mouth or drown her in noxious waters that he vomited up; Auset saved herself by causing the earth to open up and swallow those deadly attacks. Finally she was able to turn her hair into bamboo papyrus reeds and creates an island of shoots so Set could not find her. From that time the tables are turned and Auset and her son team up to destroy this beast.

In Supergirl the movie, Supergirl casts the Shadow-Satan, Set, Devil, Dragon-, Serena the Evil Witch or Babylon the Whore, and her friend, a female False Prophet, into the PHANTOM ZONE which is the BOTTOMLESS PIT. Supergirl is the angel who comes down from heaven, and the magic mirror is the key with which Supergirl sends them to the pit. Supergirl also makes sure that she sends them through the mirror, shatters it, and then repairs it.

The ancient belief among most cultures is that the mirror, a symbol of Female power, could capture the reflected soul of a person in it, and once a person has trapped an adversary's soul in the mirror, it is shattered so that the adversary dies, and repairing the mirror seals them into the watery abyss.

The mirror in the form of the Egyptian ankh is a symbol of the powers of Life and the Watery Abyss. The latter is the place of shadows or the bottomless pit. The ankh, which is the key of life and death, was later changed into the mirror of Venus.

It is fitting that mention is made of a historical figure, a Black woman, who represented the African Supergirl of Kemet. Her life exemplified the attributes of Auset (Isis), the legendary superheroine, and that historical woman is Heru Maat Kara.

So the American Hercules Mythos is very strong within American society today judging from the proliferation of magazines, comic books, paperback, TV shows and movies about supermen and superwomen which are rolled off the presses year after year for the past 70 years of America's history. This phenomenon has its basis in an ancient African concept that was transferred to Europe and is now a part of the American psyche.
