WORLDS’ FINEST #2
Written by PAUL LEVITZ
Art by GEORGE PEREZ, SCOTT KOBLISH and KEVIN MAGUIRE
Cover by GEORGE PEREZ
1:25 B&W Variant cover by GEORGE PEREZ
On sale JUNE 6 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
• HUNTRESS and POWER GIRL versus THE IRRADIATED MAN!
• Learn what our heroes have been doing since they arrived here five years ago from Earth Two!

Also, Paul Levitz revealed more on the upcoming series in another interview. Things to look forward to:

1. Helena Wayne was 16 years old on Earth-2 prior to being stranded
2. Both Kara and Helena have been stranded on the main DCU Earth for 5 years
3. Kara and Helena parted ways at some point but remained in touch
4. Kara isn't Power Girl yet, but will become Power Girl in Worlds' Finest
5. Helena has been active as both Huntress and Helena Bertinelli for quite a while
6. We'll find out why they chose the identities of Huntress and Power Girl
7. We'll especially find out the story behind the Helena Bertinelli identity (five bucks says the Bertinellis were still on the main DCU Earth and were all still killed)
8. Levitz emphasises Bruce and Clark as their counterparts (probably safe to assume they're still related)

Pretty much what I expected. At this rate I'll have their entire story figured out before I even read the first page of the first issue.

I know the entire reboot is supposed to make EVERYONE younger (though Bruce can still go through 4 or more Robins) but I really can't picture either Helena (either version of her) or PG (any version of her) as 21 (5 years on main Earth + 16 on Earth-2). They both seem more mature and older than that - even in the reboot. I also don't like making PG and regular Supergirl (who's what -17 or 18 in the reboot) too close to age. I know they are supposed to be alternate universe dopplegangers of each other but I always imagined that PG (Kara Zor-L) was what Supergirl (Kara Zor-EL) COULD become in a decade.

They actually stated Supergirl's age as 17-18? I thought she was much *younger* than that. :(

In all fairness though, Levitz said Helena specifically was 16 on Earth-2 and 21 now. I *can* actually see her being that young since she was originally 19 when she first became the Huntress pre-Crisis, and was 28-29ish by the time she was killed on COIE. I would however have trouble believing Helena being able to pass off for an adult during her late teens, even if she faked her birthday as October 1985 (which would make her 26 in real time) on her Helena Bertinelli passport; she would surely look much younger than that. (Then again, I get told by people all the time I look younger than my actual age of 25 and get carded regardless, so who knows).

Kara I think would be around the same age as Helena, but somehow I don't think age is an indicator of maturity. If they were trained from Day 1 of their lives to be crime fighters (or at least moreso in Helena's case), then I would think exposure would've certainly made them grow up a lot faster than what would be considered normal for other kids their age with a normal upbringing. :/

"(Then again, I get told by people all the time I look younger than my actual age of 25 and get carded regardless, so who knows)."

I can relate to that. I'm 23, but one time when someone asked for my ID, after doing so I asked them how old did they think I was, and they guessed 16. I get that especially when I grow my hair out.

But yeah, I can totally see them being young, but due to their experiences (Helena from training with the Batman, Kara from being a super-smart Kryptonian) feeling older in spirit.
