The series only ran four issues and was largely set apart from the rest of DC's line. However, in much the same way the Flash and Batman guest-starred in "Jerry Lewis" and Bob Hope's "nephew" Super-Hip was present at Elasti-Girl's wedding in "Doom Patrol," Prez showed up in issue ten of Supergirl's 70's era series.

One would have to stretch things quite a bit to say Prez took place in the same world as Neal Adams' Batman and Curt Swan's Superman, but that one appearance does cast a shadow of doubt as to whether the eligibility requirements for public office in DC Comics were exactly the same as those in own reality. Barbara Gordon was never shown to be 35 years of age in any other way in those comics when she was a congresswoman.

Supergirl's numerous short runs in this comic or that showed her moving through a variety of careers including soap-opera star, TV reporter, and student counselor at New Athens College in Florida. All in all, it's difficult to believe that any of those jobs could have been held by someone in the age range of 17-19. Of course, back then, when something didn't work, it was simply left behind. No one ever stopped Linda on the street in TDNAOS and cussed her out for her villainous (!) role on "Secret Hearts..."*

* Here's a fannish idea... A vintage TV show convention where Roy Raymond of "Impossible- But True!," Gar Logan of "Space Trek 2022," and Linda Danvers of "Secret Hearts" are all guests... Suddenly, a shot rings out! A pirate ship appears on the horizon...

For the Senate, the minimum age is 30; for the House, 25. Was Barbara a Congresswoman or a Senator(and did the writers always take care to know the difference)?
