2020 nominations are open! They will close at 11:59pm EDT on June 1.

The Tag Set is here.

Please see the Rules if you have questions about eligibility and the Evidence Post if there is anything you need to post evidence for.

The following umbrella fandoms should be used:

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Star Wars - All Media Types

"All Media Types" nominations will be queried for clarification where it is a case of different adaptations (eg. Les Misérables - All Media Types) rather than, as with Star Wars, a case of one continuity existing across several media types and subfandoms.

Please use "Crossover Fandom" for crossovers, identifying the source canon of each character in parentheses.

Hi! Thanks for weighing in, that was definitely something I was planning to look further into and query if necessary. I'm reading the Jay Garrick wiki pages and I don't see that Flashpoint is mentioned - would Jason Garrick (Earth 2 series) or Jason Garrick (Wonders of the World) identify the same character, for the sake of clarity?

The third of these links is the Kara you're referring to, right? Although I'm happy to approve a tag that specifies an iteration of a character that appears in multiple different continuities, and/or universes within a single continuity, I am reluctant to approve a tag that appears to be referring to a specific period of a character's life. Would Kara Zor-El (Prime Earth) sufficiently identify the character?

Post-Flashpoint Earth 2 Jay didn't exist at the time of the Flashpoint event. After the event DC did a relaunch called the New 52 which showed the new DC universe after Flashpoint. Earth 2 was one of the New 52 series.

Either Jay Garrick clarification you suggested would not be a good idea. Wonders of the World doesn't state what comic he's from and "Earth 2 Series" could be misinterpreted potentially as meaning Golden Age Earth 2 Jay Garrick and not Post-Flashpoint Earth 2 Jay Garrick.

Yes, I am referring to the third Kara. The thing is that while they all share the same name of Kara Zor-El and they have all been the main continuity Supergirl, they are very much not the same people at all. Nothing that happened to one of the Karas happened to the other two. While Kara Zor-El (Prime Earth) is technically accurate, I wanted to keep the Post-Flashpoint to keep it completely clear which of the three Karas is meant.

Additionally, both of these versions of the characters were created after the Flashpoint event, so Post-Flashpoint encapsulates the entire published history of these two characters.

Is that also the name of any titles? I was going for "Earth 2 series" as in the series called Earth 2, based on that wiki page, but obviously there could be other series of that name that I'm not familiar with.

The thing is that while they all share the same name of Kara Zor-El and they have all been the main continuity Supergirl, they are very much not the same people at all. Nothing that happened to one of the Karas happened to the other two.

I get all this! What I'm trying to articulate is that I'm trying to check the best way to approve tags for these two that are more like "Wishverse Buffy Summers" (an alternate Buffy in a different timeline) than "Post-Season 2 Buffy Summers." If the Flashpoint is the thing that created these iterations of the characters, rather than something that happened to existing characters, I'm happy to approve both as "Post-Flashpoint"; it was the combination of "Post-Flashpoint" and "Earth 2" that was making me think that this was trying to specify a timeframe, not a version of a character. Does that make sense?

There is another Kara Zor-El from the Post-Flashpoint Earth 2. She's the superhero Power Girl, they are also in the process of reintroducing the old Jay into post-Flashpoint continuity on Prime Earth.
