Jen is obviously from Earth-1 and Jen Dziura from Earth-2 because Supergirl did not exist on Earth-2. All that will probably be clearly explained in issue #52 of the year-long comic book miniseries 52, which, as it happens, hits stands tomorrow, bringing with it the return of the DC Comics “multiverse” and the end of my comics methadone program (namely, reading about comics online as a replacement for buying them for years).

The latter explanation _may_ still hold, as Chang Tzu appears to be at least cybernetic and is affiliated with the Darkseid-linked criminal organization Intergang. Since Darkseid is reportedly one of the main villains in the weekly _52_ sequel series _Countdown_, perhaps we have not seen the last of Egg Fu. Or perhaps the world ends tomorrow.

I still, however, go into comic stores on occasion and buy collectibles. Like yourself, I have recently decided that comics have come full circle and decided to stop.
