(iana artist; thing I have realized doing this:) comic art is actually fairly simple, so just changing the *default* assumption from white does a lot of my work for me.
On the cover and in several of the earliest panels she looked Asian to me, then later she started looking white and in one panel one version of her looked a little Latina. So I think my mind combined them all into Eurasian, mostly likely, as you stated, because the default assumption with your versions was no longer white. And for me personally had actually become Chinese.

Re: Kara
I understood what you meant by 'my hero'. It is the same identification behind your experiment in the first place; how much everyone deserves to have heroes which are theirs.

Whatever happened in the original universe, I bet the surviving (white) people felt very, very bad and learned many very, very important lessons.
Given the Coda, it would have seemed very: well of course the all white Earth and thus all white Earth Gov would embrace the all white Legion and make them official.
Of course the picked Legioners least likely to make trouble (and see SENSE) would all be white.
And of course one of their premier heroes of the old days come to the future would be a long haired blonde girl in a miniskirt (however much an individual loves the concept of Supergirl as her own entity).
Not to forget the: of course the new generation being given visions, being aware of trouble on the horizon, taking up arms to save the universe and being preactive against being the supposed chaff adults throw to the forefront of wars are white teenagers.

My take on your Legion has so much more depth. A society in stasis because it believes it has evolved to the ultimate. In actuality it has lost passion and also wariness and wonder. And there is a group of said society's younger generation who inspire themselves from the past, seeing all the good that can come with embracing a purpose to do more always as if more and better can come.
And then it makes perfect sense that the ones to see the coming danger, who've been awakened and are mentally prepared is this diverse group of youngsters who take pleasure in each other's diversity and uniqueness and sees or believes it's possible for such a group to hold to a single overreaching goal.
Y'know? Instead of 'White teenagers save the day because they are white and adults just don't listen.'
I like your version so much more. It kindles love for space opera odyssey. It is very much the opposite of ''
