Superman Analogue: Strange Visitor (Sharon Vance)
41While she wasn't a Superwoman in name, once Sharon Vance fused with the cosmic entity Kismet, she easily could be described as a Strange Visitor from Beyond!

Original Text: I referenced "Strange Visitor" yesterday and she makes for a pretty good version of a #Superwoman style #SupermanAnalogue, so let's touch on her.
She's even wearing his clothes! (Admittedly not anyone's favorite outfit, though I liked it) And I mean that literally: she's an energy being who is contained in one of Superman's old containment suits from back in the days when he was also an energy being.
I'm told that she is a composite of an energy force and "Sharon Vance", one of Superman's friends from youth, but I have no recollection of her being called anything other than Strange Visitor, and my understanding is that it's a Swamp Thing situation where this is a new entity .
She was around for the early 2000s era, but I don't think she made it past the Imperiex storyline. (Was that "Our World at War"? I can't remember.)
Powerwise I think she was comprable to energy Superman, but... That was pretty poorly defined. Writers with vague ideas of "energy" sometimes have way too wide an array of powers without realizing the broader implications.
Design-wise: this is Electric Blue Superman in female form. It works fine. I personally liked that look and it works just fine stripped of the controversy that the look engendered with Superman himself.
And that's... that's about all I have to say about Strange Visitor. She was cool but a short lived Superwoman...which is actually par for the course, so NEVERMIND! Ignore me!
