The Stargirl series was a lot of fun. I'm not holding my breath waiting for the character to show up in the DCU, though. I assume that it will take a few years to establish a Justice League, let alone introduce the JSA and their spin-off characters. As for Nova, Frankie Raye will probably be considered too close to Shalla Bal to be a candidate for entry into the MCU any time soon.
Coming tomorrow: STF #4900!

I’ve always loved the Frankie / Nova character. Thanks for bringing her back.
Who’s Shalla Bal?
I don't know if it was George Carlin or Bill Maher. But some comedian once said: "An optimist sees the glass as half-full. A pessimist sees it as half-empty. And a realist sees the half-full glass becoming completely empty twice as fast as one that's filled to the brim!"
That's my convoluted way of saying that, much as I'd like to optimistically disagree with your assessment, I realistically have to concur. The cameos by JSA members (in BLACK ADAM) and JLA members (in SUPERMAN 2025) were nice. But, I don't see either group starring in their own eponymous TV series anytime soon. Let alone, a silver screen version of their Silver Age team-ups!
The ex-girlfriend of Norrin Radd (the original Silver Surfer in, and created by Jack Kirby for, Marvel Comics). The writers for the recent FF film did some gender-swapping.
This raises the question of which DC characters would be good heralds for Galactus... Lobo has a lot of useful abilities but is too independent, likewise 'Phantom Zone' villains; perhaps the Martian Manhunter if Galactus had come to Mars while the Green Martians were still surviving as a more numerous people?
I think you're right on both counts, Ross. Also, Nova's use of that name will be confusing with the Nova Corps, which is still being planned; and anyway, it'll be a while before Galactus shows up in any MCU film again.
@Cary: Shalla-Bal also actually was the Silver Surfer for a time, so it's not entirely a gender-swap. Also, several who have seen the movie have picked out a solid reason for using Shalla-Bal rather than Norrin, though I won't spoil that here.
@Simreeve: I'd opt for a more everyday person who happens to be the kind of person to step up to sacrifice themself for the sake of the planet; someone like Jimmy Olsen, Sue Dibney, or even Julia Pennyworth.
...Or, God forbid, Irwin Schwab (who has met Galactus before in these pages, though under somewhat different circumstances).
@Bob Greenwade: you mean the possibility of Johnny Storm carrying a "torch" for her? :-)
As for a DC-oriented herald for Galactus; how about the Inferior Five (Power Cosmically amalgamated)?
@Bob and Cary: wouldn't it be easier for Galactus to just hire away the Scarlet Skier?
oh, Ross, a different kind of team up of sorts....Galactus & BRAINIAC!! Brainiac finds the planets, drains the info then Galactus consumes it.
