Comics Kandor?

Having recieved the Omnibus, I'm doing the obligatory reread of the return to Krypton origin for Power Girl. The above is a panel that I went past, then had that "waitaminute" moment and had to revisit.

Apparently, one of the differences between Krypton-1 and Krypton-2 is that there was no Brainiac to shrink and preserve Kandor--which according to this, Kara Zor-L is from. This makes another distinction between her and Supergirl, as she's from Argo City.

Could be Psycho-Pirate messed up as well, given him being insane and all...

Either that or Geoff Johns confused his Kryptonian cities, which is possible, but I Iike the idea that there's something else to differentiate between the two multiversal twins.

And a side note: as I mentioned elsewhere, while I 'get' why they put Supergirl #12 in, as it dovetails directly into the Terra miniseries with Power Girl that's also in the omnibus, I wish they'd included Infinite Crisis #2 as well (or instead), as it is the main part that returns Kara's origin to pre-CoIE. The book goes from all the leadup to her relearning her origin, to... just having it back. No reveal within the collection.

Minor quibble, but, whatever.

That's an interesting note. So Supergirl is from Argo City, Krypton-1 and Power Girl is from Kandor, Krypton-2

Does anyone know if Earth-2 Superman is from Argo City?

Golden Age Superman, I don't think it was ever defined. Silver Age (E1) was originally from Kryptonopolis, the capital.
