MOS 163 - The Last Words
Maid of Steel: A Supergirl Podcast
The Legacy of Supergirl for me will always be friends. The friends that I would not have found if I hadn’t entered the superhero world. I began as many did with Arrow. Having no comic knowledge. I sought out a podcast to help understand this new world. The adventures of Oliver Queen were always a little dark for this butterfly, but I kept watching. Not as much for the show itself but for the Arrow Squad and the people it was drawing into its ranks. Green Butterfly was technically born on the Central City Underground which celebrated The Flash. The brighter, more humorous...

MOS 159 - S6E19 & S6E20 - The Last Gauntlet & Kara, Part 1
Maid of Steel: A Supergirl Podcast
The fight for the totems has taken a desperate turn. Supergirl and her team have five totems however Lex and Nyxly have stolen the most precious of them all. The love totem has fused itself with Alex and Kelly’s young daughter Esme. In true Lex fashion, he gives the Superfriends an ultimatum. They must give him the five totems they possess and the destiny totem then he will return Esme. The love totem is different from the others. Not only did it fuse with a living being, but each time it is activated some of the petals from the flower tattoo on the little...

Lena encouraged the group to celebrate Alex and Kelly’s engagement with a bachelorette party. The ramifications of the heroes taking the night off turns out to be devastating! Nyxly and Lex find and take control of the Truth totem. It has taken the form of a camera because a picture cannot lie.

Previously on Supergirl…Bitter Imp! Totems, Totems, Totems. Battle for the Universe as we know it! Supergirl has been one step behind since Season 6 – Episode 8!! Pew, Pew, big booms! Supergirl destroyed the Hope Totem, the All Stone will never be completed. Wait…wha? Lex Luthor?!?! Nyxly is not convinced that the "Fancy Banker" is the key to her success. He (Lex) states that he is coming from the future, that he and Nyxly are partners and that in his future she did assemble the All Stone – but not in the right way and…she dead. Lucky for her...

MOS 156 - S6E16 - Nightmare in National City
Maid of Steel: A Supergirl Podcast
All is quiet at the tower. Brainy and Lena have secured the courage and humanity totems with a combination of Earth magic and Coluan calculations. This leaves Kara to focus on the interview of a lifetime. The leaders of Kaznia and Corto Maltese have agreed to sit down and decide on terms of a peace agreement. Kara has secured access for Catco in this historic event. Needless to say, Andrea is over the moon about the news. Nia has returned empty handed from Parthas. Maeve took all their mother’s books and research and fled to parts unknown. Brainy suggests that Nia have a healthy...

MOS 155 - S6E15 - Hope for Tomorrow
Maid of Steel: A Supergirl Podcast
Supergirl and Nyxly have one totem each. Nia has gone to Parthas in search of the Dream totem so Kara heads to the Netherlands to try and stop the Imp from getting her hands on the Hope totem. Nyxly fails the Hope gauntlet but still manages to create chaos at peace talks taking place within The Hague. Meanwhile Alex and Kelly welcome Esme into their home. We learn that the little girl is a species of alien that can mimic the powers of others. It must be really overwhelming to acclimate to one superpower let alone adjust to a countless number of them depending on what type of alien is...

MOS 154 - S6E14 - Magical Thinking
Maid of Steel: A Supergirl Podcast
The quest for the totems continues. Nyxly tracks the Humanity Totem to the pocket of a martial arts fighter in town for a match. The imp easily steals the item and wonders why there was no gauntlet to pass to wield its powers. The citizens in the vicinity of the arena erupt into violence with their humanity stripped from them. The Superfriends game night is abruptly interrupted by Nyxly’s glee at an easy victory. Kara’s psychic connection to the imp continues to be an asset. William has used his friendship with Kara to win himself entrance into the Tower. He is going to write stories about...
info_outlineThree hundred years ago Mr. Mxyptlix betrayed Nyxly when he testified against her. The result of that trial was Nyxly being banished to the phantom zone. Now the princess of the fifth dimension seeks to reassemble the All Stone which would give her power over all existence. Supergirl and her team must protect Mxy because his blood is the key to the All Stone.
Imps can be tracked by their magic. Therefore Mxy must find a way to be of service without using his powers. J’onn says “an imp without magic is like a rocket ship without fuel”. Needless to say, this is a difficult mission but Mxy tries his best. His heart is definitely in the right place. Magic from the fifth dimension is hard to beat. The properties of which nullify the first few solutions our team comes up with. Mxy is on the right track, however, a Trojan horse may be just what they need to win this fight.
Lena makes her way to Fortune Cove to try to discover more information on her birth mother. Strangely, as soon as she mentions Elizabeth Walsh’s name the local residents become unhelpful and eager for her to leave. Andrea uses her sources to find the last woman Lena seeks. Florence was hard to find, but once located, is willing to share the information Lena has traveled here for. Lizzie came to her in her dreams and told her good friend that someday her daughter would come seeking answers. Lena has inherited more than a beautiful face from her mother. She also possesses the spark of her magic. This revelation made Green Butterfly really happy. I have always wanted Lena to be more than another Luthor in a House of El story. I love Lena the scientist and business genius. She is one of my favorite characters so how could I say no to an expansion of her character. I only wish we could have more episodes left to explore this untapped skill.
Now all I can say is Lena better fly home quickly because the Super Friends need some magical help. Lena always gives 100% to any problem she faces. She will work tirelessly to help the team succeed against the Imp with world domination on her mind. Supergirl and her team must find the totem of courage before Nyxly does. Whoever controls courage also controls fear. Don’t you worry though. Silver Vox and Green Butterfly will be with you every step of the way as we continue the adventure of Supergirl’s final season. Stay safe and have a super week!
