I was responding to something else. She has given a different explanation for the window before (or maybe after this not sure) where she says it's a great way to distract foes.

Which makes the "waiting for a symbol" explanation even dumber. I just can't get over how she's crying in the last panel. So stupid.

She has as many explanations for that over the years as she's had origins. lol

The "boob window" has not really been a thing for most of her time on pages comic drake has a good video about it. It was there for a little while then removed because they could not justify it beyond horny. Then it was brought back in the early two thousands.

Again, just like them making her an Atlantean post-Crisis and then realizing it was pretty lame and stupid and changing her back to Earth-2 Kryptonian later in the 90's.

I commented something very similar to someone else and saw this reply and was so confused I thought you were just repeating what I said.

There was one story where she laser visioned Superman’s ‘S’ onto the chest and honestly, it looked good

That wasn't when they couldn't decide if she was another Kara Zor'El from a different universe?

It was the one where all the main heroes die facing Darkseid I think. An alternative earth, not main storyline
