Purity and Pestilence - World Killers

I found this interesting article about the Worldkillers. In the comics each Worldkiller besides being superstrong has unique abilities. I disagree with the article and think Purity matches up with Perrilus not Deimax.
1)Reign is the leader
2)Perrilus generates poisons and viruses, and her specialty is population extinction. Matches up with Purity
3)Deimax’s specialty is mass terrain destruction. Matches up with Pestilence
4)Flower of Heaven can create and manipulate energy, and her specialty is overloading the planetary systems. Matches up with Power.

Interesting article with lots of background on the World Killers in the comics. Since they have changed the way in which the World Killers were created and their names, it makes me wonder if they will stick with any of the powers that the original WK were given.

But, if they do, I can see that Perrilus and pestilence would be similar - pestilence has to do with disease.

Purity is sometimes associated with flowers but, of course energy is also power- so that could go either way.

Mass terrain destruction -I could see it matching up with Power as it is forces of the earth that cause earthquakes and volcanoes.

Brierrose - what is making you think that Perrilus matches up with Purity?


I was reading something from somewhere that these World Killers are most likely friends of Sam's. I believe that Purity's description was a guitar player who was a college friend of Sam's. So, if the friend thing is true what about this plot twist ----- Lena, a good friend of Sam's from way back, ends up being Power since she dabbles in technology and holds a great deal of power as a CEO. (Really, I'm just kidding so, don't tar and feather me ) But, that twist would be a huge game changer!

That would be a fun twist. However, if that happens, come fourth season, we will be back with a no girlfriend Kara.

What makes people think that the fleet that left Krypton (it cannot be considered individual ships at this point. heh) all left at the same time and hence, the denizens will all have the same age?

And.. I second Sully's question to Brierrose. Do we know what Purity is supposed to do? Why do you think she is Perrilus?

I agree, Brierrose. I don't think that the third World Killer is anyone that Kara knows and I don't think that it is Kara either. When they put the four photos of the possible WK on the screen at the end of For Good, they stated something about two of them being the WK's and Julia was one of them. So, that leaves the remaining 3 as possibilities for the last one.

I can't remember if we talked about this or not but, going back to what Coville stated in Reign, he mentioned the End of Days. This could be somewhat of a parallel to the Apocalypse that is discussed in Christianity's Book of Revelations from the New Testament. Coville talks about signs, which are also referenced in the Revelations. In the Apocalypse, there are four horsemen (seals that are opened) with three of them representing war, famine and death. I think that Reign, Purity and Pestilence are representing three of those symbols but, are modified to fit the SG mythology. If so, then maybe a twist at the end of the season is that there is a fourth WK and depending on one's interpretation of the Horsemen, this last figure could either be someone who represents righteousness or evil. If it is righteousness, then perhaps that could be Kara. If it is evil, then maybe it is one of the scientists (possibly even Alura or Zor-El) or the hologram in the Fortress of Sanctuary.

In the Book of Revelations, after these four seals are opened, the remaining seals are opened destroying the world by earthquakes and burning - which could be how the world's in the 31st century end up being destroyed. And maybe it's not the Legion's DNA that is necessary to stop the WK but, Kara's and she doesn't survive in the original timeline because instead of eliminating Sam, Julia and the third one, Kara tries to save them and it backfires. Perhaps Imra and Brainy know this and if Kara is indeed involved in some way, then that is why they came back and didn't tell Mon-El.

But, on the other hand, when Kara was interrogating Purity, Purity mentioned something about her and the other gods eating Alex's heart? That almost sounds more like Greek mythology to me so, who knows, maybe they're combining some aspects of Christianity and Greek mythology .

3 Crazy Theories About the Third Worldkiller on 'Supergirl', from buddytv.com.

The internet seems to want Lena but this article fails to say what happened in Luthors that makes what Lillian told Lena, that Lionel had an affair and Lena is his daughter, ring true. Lena was able to open Lex’s vault which required Luthor DNA.

Imra would be an interesting twist. I really don’t think it’s going to be Kara.

Here’s my new theory, all the Worldkillers except Sam/Reign won’t have a personal relationship with Kara or anyone else, Julia/Purity doesn’t. Kara’s decided that the way to stop the Worldkillers is to save them. What if Kara can’t save all of them and has to decide between saving her friend Sam and the others. Having to decide between saving her friend and two strangers would be a great moral dilemma for Kara.

Yeah I honestly dont think the last WK is going to be Imra either. I do think her agenda was something she definitely wasnt telling the others though, and needs to come clean eventually.

Also I wonder if they can continue to get through to Julia after this or not.

So that matches up with 2 characters we have yet to see who have not yet been cast. I wonder who they will turn out to be. I have a feeling that like Purity they will all have been living normal lives. However, I think that Sam/Reign may be the only one that is able to switch after awakening because of Ruby.

May be like Sam, they will try to seek out the Sanctuary to find answers (Sam didn't do that; she created it, but may be the others will try to find them). I am still hoping for Alura to have had something to do with their creation although since Zor EL is the science person and Alura the justice person, am not sure how that is possible.

I think on this show Purity will be like Perrilus because it looks like Lena is poisoned in the next episode. I really don’t think Lena is a Worldkiller. We know she is the biological daughter of Lionel Luthor because she was able to open Lex’s vault in S2E12. I don’t think her mother was a Worldkiller either. The reason people think that all the Worldkillers are the same age or younger than Reign is because she’s the leader and the one who seems to have started the activation. Also if one was say like Kara’s age when she left then her memory would’ve had to have been wiped out and a teenager with no memories would’ve drawn attention.

I assumed that they were all genetically engineered, most likely around the same time as a result of what was going on with Krypton at that time. But, I don't think that we have any actual confirmation that that was the case.

I'm curious as to why they all were sent to Earth for the same purpose, to cleanse it from evil. Why such hatred for Earth? It would make more sense that they were dispersed to various planets and all end up on Earth because they're called to it, either by the Kryptonian woman at the Fortress or by Reign herself.

So the CW released a clip of Kara's dream, and here we see Reign with two other figures, the first is Purity in a suit and the other is in shadow.

https://twitter.com/TheCWSupergirl/status/958505127324733440

So from that we should say that all of the Worldkillers are able to fly?

Also from next weeks promo we should update Purity's powers to include that sonic scream she showed.

So it seems we will only have two other world killers besides Reign, the other one being in shadow makes me wonder if its someone we already know (Imra?) Or someone entirely new they still have not cast yet.

Yeah, I thought I would wait to update her powers until after the show in case there is more to it and her than that and just catch it all at once.

I'll be really interested in what all Purity can do. I'm just confused at how many more there actually are at the moment. Obviously, we have Reign, Purity and the third one in the dream, who I am guessing is Pestilence. I'm not sure if Power is supposed to be Reign. It didn't appear to me that that was who the Priestess was referring to when she told Kara about them but, I also know that Kara mentioned only the other two and now this dream only has two more. It could be there is another, named Power and they're deliberately holding back information. Or, it not. Guess we'll just wait and see.

I was trying to determine rather or not Purity has some type of power to shake the ground. In the scenes of her coming out of the DEO and then in the subway, the ground and building was shaking and falling but, she wasn't emitting any type of sound.

So, what do you think? Is that a separate power that she has or is it somehow related to her sonic sound power?

Purity’s costume it’s not all black but no cape.

what happens if they smash the kryptonian crystals that seem to be powering/controlling the world killers? would that release them from the programming and save them?

Purity’s costume it’s not all black but no cape.

That looks similar to the one in Kara's dream? And seems from now on we will see Purity and Reign trying to attack as a team? And I think its not just the crystal, but the hologram lady and the evil fortress as a whole that needs to be destroyed before Sam and Julia can regain their lives.

I'm not sure that destroying the crystals would have any effect on the World Killers. Those crystals look similar to the one that Superman used and it doesn't have any direct effect on his abilities. The World Killers are individuals who were genetically created in a lab. Of course, we don't know exactly how they work but, without having any other information available and going with the way genetics in general works, my guess is that being a World Killer is just a natural part of who they are.

It's actually a tad confusing to try and figure out why exactly it is that the WK have now emerged.
- The hologram told Sam that Reign was supposed to awaken earlier but, was delayed by Sam's early pregnancy. That leads me to believe that their transition into WK's might be similar to the way humans go through the developmental stages hence, a genetic reason for their change.
- We know that Sam started having the dreams before she got the crystal so, that might go along with the theory that she finally hit the stage the hologram spoke of.

But, where it gets confusing is with the introduction to Purity.
- Purity said that they knew when they arrived that they had to wait for everything to align before they would emerge. Again, this alignment may have been Sam hitting that stage and Reign's emergence since it appears as though Reign is the leader of the group.
- However, where it diverges is in the fact that it almost seemed as though Purity's awakening was triggered by the car accident that she had. This doesn't really mesh with her comment about the events lining up or being a result of Reign's emergence. Unless the car accident wasn't really an accident and someone purposely ran her down. But, that's a stretch.

Based on the fact that both Sam and Julia are still present within the body of Reign and Purity, I think that the solution will be to try to get those consciousnesses to become stronger and take control back over their bodies.

However, I am really hoping that the solution isn't going to be one that involves some speech by Kara, similar to how Myriad was dissolved. That type of resolution would be a complete let down to what has been a very strong, complex plot in my opinion.

I think Purity was lying to rile Kara up during the interrogation. She was trying to reach Julia and Purity was pretending that there is no Julia. This is corroborated by the fact that the hologram lady says Purity is a newborn and later in the subway station, Purity talks to Kara about Julia being in there as a revelation; sort of like "Guess what? I have been lying all this while. Now, you watch while I make Julia suffer."

I think it was the accident as well as Reign being triggered that brought forth Purity.

And.. yeah.. I hope that they have some spectacular ending planned because I don't want another myriad. But, I don't want another S2 style ending either where Kara just punches through.

Yes, it's very possible that what Purity told Kara was a lie. I don't think she can be considered a trustworthy alien .

Could Pestilence Be the Real Villain of ‘Supergirl’ Season 3?, from brinkwire.com.

That would fit with season 1 and 2, where a villain is presented but in the final episodes a NEW final villain is presented. Again I want them to focus on saving/seperating Sam from Reign as well.
