I'm glad you did!

That was the intention, and it's nice to hear that it worked for you.

She occasionally has her moments, but the current Kara Zor-El is indeed
more than a little underwhelming.  (The "horrible" idea I've alluded to
involves her, incidentally.)  But, in any case, this story really
wouldn't have worked as well with the current Supergirl, and I never
really considered going that route.

Should I continue this story, I plan to focus less on the "Earth-Bound
angel" stuff (which I might excise entirely with the continuity handwave
of Barbara not meeting the "qualifications" for the creation of one like
Linda Danvers did) and a bit more on the identity crisis between Matrix
and Barbara.

I do foresee a role for Linda Danvers in the story, though.  Which
reminds me that I need to go re-read the No Man's Land issues of Azrael
 that were doing that bizarre mind-controlling Satanist rock star subplot...

Thanks to you both for your comments!
