She is neither human nor Kryptonian but her powers rival those of Supergirl. She was made by witches on Krypton to dispense justice to the galaxy. On the day of their planet’s demise they sent her to Earth, not wanting to lose the results of their work. She was raised on Earth, as a human with no sign of special abilities. She was named Sam Arias and had a successful life.
A human life that blessed her with a daughter named Ruby. This is something her creators did not expect. When Sam starts hearing voices in her head and having nightmares, she knows something is wrong. What she doesn’t know is she is fulfilling the destiny that the witches made for her. She will rise. She will reign. Made to be a world killer, Reign now has her sights set on Earth.
However, this is a woman composed of two minds Sam and Reign. I think some will underestimate how strong Sam can be. When Reign defeats Supergirl in an epic battle the tears well up in GreenButterfly’s eyes. If Supergirl cannot defeat Reign, who can? Our Maid of Steel vanquished the world killer in the end but it was Ruby that saved Sam. I know Lena’s scientific work played a significant role in her recovery. I wholeheartedly believe Sam’s love for her daughter is what prevented Reign from taking total control of her mind and body.
Join Green Butterfly and Silver Vox as we revisit one of the most compelling characters of this series. Someone we would love to see back in season six. Based on her origins Sam should still have powers despite Lena’s treatment. Reign did not emerge until Sam was an adult. What does that mean for Ruby as she grows up? In the Comics it is Zor El that made the World Killers. Is that why he really ended up in the Phantom Zone? Did the world killer project lead to the destruction of Krypton? Green Butterfly and Silver Vox are looking forward to a great discussion with all of our super friends. We are Stronger Together! We are Maid of Steel!

Get your feedback in to us now to be included in the podcast by August 12. Thanks!! Oh, and here’s the promo for Supergirl Season 6 – Episode 8, “Welcome Back, Kara!“

We rely on your input to help round out our conversation and anticipate the opportunity to include your thoughts and theories!
Some blog post comments…
“She is neither human nor Kryptonian” – wweelll…we know she’s NOT human because just no to that, but as for Kryptonian – maybe. She could also be another alien race taken by the Kryptonians; this is why we need more Sam – for information to lore like this. 🙂
“She was made by witches on Krypton to dispense justice to the galaxy.” – *scribbles out “witches” and writes in “scientists”* There that’s better. Ha.
Awe, you included scenes from the badass fight with Supergirl; thank you! 😀
“I wholeheartedly believe Sam’s love for her daughter is what prevented Reign from taking total control of her mind and body.” – facts!
“as we revisit one of the most compelling characters of this series. Someone we would love to see back in season six.” – also facts!
#SamStillHasPowers!!!
“Next Time On Maid of Steel!
We’re doing a big ‘ole deep dive into the character of Lena Luthor!” – if Daryl is not a guest host for this episode what is even happening? 🙂 The defense attorney for Lena simply must be present because that’s his girl. Ha. If Daryl doesn’t want to do it I understand, but I would love to see him involved in this episode as a guest host.
On to the podcast…
*narrows eyes* How dare you include Mon in this.
Sorry you feel sick Justina; I hope you feel better soon!
I will always do the After Show if I can. I agree John, it goes 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, and then 6; I give 5 the edge over six because as bad as five is it at least still had elements of “Supergirl” to it where as six is post Crisis and I am not feeling it yet. Maybe they will make some plot changes and it will end ok but for now I’m just not feeling it for “Supergirl”. I fired you John because you suggested his name and so Justina was compelled to put it in there and so yeah – on you. Ha.
Justina didn’t include the William clip because she knows it’s not real. 🙂
Leslie Time! 🙂
Easy – if Kenny wasn’t an option ever again I would take Adam as played by a recast Chris Woods if Kara just has to have a love interest on the show.
? You hurt me Justina; you know what you said. @@@
Why are you talking about the Legion; I thought you were only talking about the good things from season three? That’s just Sam.
You know how we could check in on Sam and Ruby? Alex spin off show – I’m just saying!
Lol to John dying each time at Agent Liberty!
*listens to audio clips* MAN the San storyline was just SO GOOD! ❤️ it so much. Odie owned the season.
Reign beat Supergirl’s *ss in that fight; it’s one of the most epic fights on the series and Alex has some awesome stuff to compete with!
Okay so Sam may not be Kryptonian…she’s not human though, I refuse to believe that!
You can’t be 12th level if you’re beat by a snack machine.
I’d say the series went down hill after season three because it became more punch punch rather than staying with character content like we see in seasons 1 and 3.
James and Lena kissing…it’s definitely the worse between the two. The worst thing in season three is the writers even suggesting Kara might be a home wrecker because NO, but James/Lena is right behind it because as you said Daryl it does not add up to the James Olsen character we saw in seasons prior.
No no, it’s Lames. 🙂
Agreed Daryl – Kara has killed before and it’s okay!
To be fair, I feel like Alex tries to avoid calling Eliza until it’s all clear because despite their gains she is still nervous she may hear something negative and she doesn’t want to disappoint her mother. Also she’s use to the protocol of say nothing until your sure on something and she’s often in the middle of things so the situation changes moment to moment and why worry Eliza like that until there’s something to worry her over; like the fact she’s in the Phantom Zone longer than they thought, but you know that’s character stuff and sadly as John said we don’t get that anymore. 🙁 Kara just gets not telling from Alex; although between them she will certainly tell Eliza something more than Alex. Ha.
If they’re going to do more with Lena can we have some more Lena and Alex scenes together because how do you not put these two actors together number one but then two the characters are science nerds so why wouldn’t they work together on cases?! Just because Kelly is around it doesn’t mean she’s the only one Alex has to interact with; same with J’onn! Let Alex and Lena be science pals together and see what they create!
You’re pushing it with the comment of three being better than one Justina but I get it enough to not @ you on this one. 😉
I will still smile talking about the series, mainly if we are in discussion of season one and Sam. 🙂
I agree Leslie, Mon should never come back! Okay I know that’s not exactly what you said, but it’s what I heard. 😉
Season six has killed Brainy to me.
I agree, the “be Kryptonian” speech never sat well with me either Leslie.
OH MY GOSH YES – bring back Livewire at any time!!!
I wish they just let Mon be married, what was wrong with that? They were literally centuries apart and for him it was seven years – just say they married for love and the peace part was a bonus. Again Mon is just toxic for this series!
*sigh* It is ending too soon.
Krypton is a case of climate change and destroying your planet from within…it’s meant to be a warning to us to not use up the planet.
Daryl will be a guest host? YES!
