Superwoman - in Other Media

In Other Media

• An adult film version of Superman was produced called Superwoman (1979). Directed by Joe Sherman, written by John Finegold, and starring Desireé Cousteau as the main character Superwoman/Linda Kent, a court action by Warner Bros. prompted the name of the film to be changed to Ms. Magnificent and most of the references to Superman removed or altered (such as Superman's iconic S-shield).
• A version of Superwoman appeared on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in the season three episode, "Ultra Woman." Clark lost his powers when a red kryptonite laser beam hit him and transferred his powers to Lois. Both of them were unaware of the transfer, until Lois pulled down an iron gate with her bare hands. Martha Kent made her a costume and Clark introduces her to Metropolis as Ultrawoman.
• Gina Torres played the Crime Syndicate version of Superwoman in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. According to writer Dwayne McDuffie, rather than being the counterpart of Wonder Woman, this version of Superwoman is an analogue of Mary Marvel. However, Superwoman and Wonder Woman still became rivals and the Amazon Princess easily bested her in combat during the final battle. Unlike in the comic books, Superwoman has a relationship with Owlman, even collaborates with him of his plot to destroy the multiverse. However, she also develops a crush toward Batman, who rejects her advances. There is no mention of her being with Ultraman and she is presumably not with him. She is described as having psychotic tendencies. Superwoman is arrested after the Justice League and the United States Marine Corps defeated her and the rest of the Syndicate.
• The Lois Lane Superwoman is featured in the All-Star Superman movie.
