- Replacement Scrappy: The original Supergirl is an iconic character with a sizeable, loyal and well-stablished fanbase. However DC killed her in 1985 because she was a "Superman with boobs" who "made Superman less unique" and "added nothing to the Superman Mythos". Three years later, she was replaced with Matrix, a protoplasmic shape-shifting blob with some of Superman's powers. Obviously, this did not sit well with Kara fans. It didn't help that Matrix was a Naïve Newcomer and The Ingenue who was the pawn of both Brainiac and Lex Luthor in succession. It definitely didn't help that Matrix vocal fans constantly put Kara down and looked down on her fans. In short, many fans viewed her as an In Name Only incarnation of the character as well as Too Dumb to Live.
