After the death of the original ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', DC needed to come up with a new Supergirl-named character in order to not lose the trademark. So, John Byrne -- in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlSaga'' StoryArc -- created "Matrix", a shape-shifting protoplasmic purple creature imprinted with Comicbook/LanaLang's memories who hailed from a PocketDimension that was destroyed by PhantomZone criminals and who just so happened to take form of a female Franchise/{{Superman}}.

''Supergirl 1994'' or ''Supergirl (Volume 3)'' was a four-issue limited series published in 1994. It is the only ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' series to feature the Matrix Supergirl.

After the death of the original ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', DC needed to come up with a new Supergirl-named character in order to not lose the trademark. So, John Byrne -- in ''The Supergirl Saga'' StoryArc -- created "Matrix", a shape-shifting protoplasmic purple creature imprinted with Comicbook/LanaLang's memories who hailed from a PocketDimension that was destroyed by PhantomZone criminals and who just so happened to take form of a female Franchise/{{Superman}}.

After her creation, Matrix turned into a child-like, featureless blob, went crazy several times, roamed the galaxy, became Brainiac's slave and later Comicbook/LexLuthor's lover/unwitting puppet. This mini-series resolves that long subplot revolving around her relationship with Lex.

!!''Supergirl 1994'' provides examples of:

* EvilMakeover: When Matrix goes crazy she shifts her costume into something sleeveless with spiked bands around her arms.
* EvilRedhead: Lex Luthor is a red-haired, evil, ManipulativeBastard. And a creepy pervert.
* OneManArmy: Matrix easily tears Lex's troops apart.
* {{Telekinesis}}: Her invulnerability is in fact a telekinetic invisible shield.
* UnstoppableRage: She flies off the handle when she discovers that Luthor had made thousands of clones of her from the residue he collected after her fight with Doomsday. She was very close to killing him too.
* UnwittingPawn: She was this to Lex until she found out about the clones and realized he was evil.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Luthor refuses to treat or consider Matrix as a human being.
