The Other Andromeda (Marvel Comics)

Andromeda, Namor, Sub-Mariner, Attuma
Andromeda, by John Buscema

DC Comics isn't the only brand that has an Andromeda. Marvel Comics has one too.
But this one has blue skin and is the daughter of Attuma, one of Prince Namor's ( The Sub-Mariner) enemies.
Despite being a super villain's daughter, she rose above this and became a superhero herself. Fed up with her fathers male chauvinist attitude, Andromeda defected from the ranks of Attuma's legions and joined Atlantis.
Okay, Namor was a chauvinist too, but he wasn't as bad as Attuma.
Andromeda even joined The Defenders.
And died there.
It's okay, Dr. Strange brought her back to life.
Kinda.
And later on, she even got to beat Attuma in one on one combat.

Laurel Gand / Andromeda - DC Comics

Laurel Gand, Andromeda, Supergirl, superman, book,

Laurel Gand, sometimes known as Andromeda, is a character in the future of the DC Comics universe, and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
She was created as a replacement for Supergirl in post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Legion continuity, because they killed Supergirl.
Andromeda was also inspired by elements of Superman's supposed descendant Laurel Kent, who was revealed to be a Manhunter android in the post-Crisis, pre-Zero Hour continuity.
She was in Superman: The Animated Series, in the episode "New Kids In Town".

I like the costume and all, but all these future time lines and alternate reality superheroes are kinda confusing to me.
Oh for the Silver Age days, when all we had to contend with was Earth 2.
I keep thinking that if Marvel and DC keep going, the entire Earth will be populated with super beings and they'll be no one else left to rescue.
