''The Last Daughter'' received a MegaCrossover sequel and a rewrite: ''[[Fanfic/ThuktunsCRISIS CRISIS]]'' and ''Fanfic/TheGirlOfTomorrow'', respectively.

* AncientAstronauts: [[spoiler:It turns out that Krypton had sent a failed colony ship to Earth, just like 2013's ''Film/ManOfSteel'']].

* BilingualBonus: Much of the Interlude Arc's first chapter has dialogue in untranslated Afrikaans, which was then translated by the author after reader backlash.

* BadassGay: [[spoiler:Taylor is not only the most powerful cape on Earth, barring Scion, but is in a relationship with Amy Dallon.]]

* AncientAstronauts: [[spoiler:It turns out that Krypton had sent a failed colony ship to Earth, just like Film/ManOfSteel]].

"The Last Daughter" is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}''/''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' crossover by Thuktun Flishithy (author of ''[[Fanfic/GodsAngelsAndKings Hail To The King]]'') that makes Taylor the last living Kryptonian, named Zara Jor-El at birth, instead of a parahuman. Inspired by a message left by her birth father, she decides to become a hero, bringing her into conflict with the various villains of Brockton Bay. This fic does contain a few spoilers for Worm canon, so beware.

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Taylor shocks the whole planet when she succeeds in slaying Behemot.

Both the story and MegaCrossover sequel ''[[Fanfic/ThuktunsCRISIS CRISIS]]'' have been completed.

A rewrite -named ''Fanfic/TheGirlOfTomorrow'' was started by the author.

--> '''Jor-El''': ''We had to remove the ancillary thumbs and give her back her canines, to name a few changes.''

A rewrite -named ''Fanfic/TheGirlOfTomorrow'' was started by the author but ultimately abandoned.

* PowerPerversionPotential: In the rewrite, Taylor admits she's seen naked people on accident a few times.

* ShoutOut:
** At one point, Taylor gives the "World of Carboard" speech from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
** Armmaster creates the Batman identity.

-> ''You will believe Taylor can fly.''

MegaCrossover sequel ''[[Fanfic/ThuktunsCRISIS CRISIS]]'' has been completed.

* ShoutOut: One of the message board posters guesses that Taylor is a genetically engineered creation, and that the Kryptonians looked like a cross between a spider and an eel, which is a reference to another Superman fic, ''TheMetropolitanMan''.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Taylor takes a cue from Comic/{{All Star Superman}} and tells Amy this during [[spoiler:the Behemoth fight]].

** During [[spoiler: the double Endbringer attack on São Paulo, Armsmaster (now known as Batman) manages to chop off one of Leviathan's arms with a time-locked grappling hook.]]
** [[spoiler: Taylor briefly lost an arm after completely destroying Scion's main body. Thankfully, she manages to get it reattached.]]

* BadassGay: [[spoiler: Taylor is not only the most powerful cape on Earth, barring Scion, but is in a relationship with Amy Dallon.]]

** As does [[spoiler: the fight against Leviathan and the Simurgh in São Paulo.]] It appears that [[AuthorAppeal Thuktun Flishithy is fond of the trope]].

** The last two arcs of the story, ''Eschaton'' and ''Theomachy'' mean [[spoiler: "end-times" and "battle of the gods" in Greek, respectively.]]

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: Taylor depowers the majority of Slaughterhouse 9 rather than killing them. She kills Mannequin after he kills Amy, then depowers Burnscar, Shatterbird, Sibirian and Jack. There is no way to depower Crawler so she just punches him into Earth orbit.]]

* CreepyMonotone: Taylor dips into this [[spoiler: while fighting the Slaughterhouse Nine.]]

* {{Depower}}: Taylor figures out how to do this to capes, by targeting the Corona Polentia with her heat vision. [[spoiler: She uses this to take care of the Slaughterhouse 9 once and for all.]]
* DualBoss: [[spoiler: After what Taylor did to [[KilledOffForReal Behemoth]], the Simurgh and Leviathan decide to ramp things up by attacking together.]]

** She learns about her freeze breath while trying to cool a cup of tea, and later uses it [[spoiler: to immobilize Lung]].
** Her heat vision comes in [[spoiler: while fighting Behemoth]].

* GlassCannon: [[spoiler: The Simurgh turns out to be this. In relative terms of course, she's still an Endbringer, but without her psychic scream, she's not nearly as much of a threat to Taylor as Behemoth was]]

** [[spoiler: Cauldron has one when Taylor reveals that she is an all powerful alien. The Doctor Mother even faints.]]

* MegatonPunch: A literal example. Towards the latter half of the story, Taylor is able to hit hard enough to cause nuclear fusion. [[spoiler: She uses it to great effect against Behemoth and the Simurgh.]]

* NeckLift: Taylor does this to [[spoiler:Moord Nag]].
** And again with [[spoiler: Jack]]

* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Two examples during [[spoiler: the Behemoth fight]].
** Taylor actually bleeds from her lip after [[spoiler: getting punched into Portugal by Behemoth]].
** The tables are later turned when [[spoiler: Taylor actually manages to ''kill Behemoth'', the most unstoppable out of the Endbringers]].

* OhCrap: Legend has this reaction when [[spoiler: Behemoth appears instead of the Simurgh]].

* OnlySaneMan: Legend is this during the Cauldron interlude. [[spoiler: Everyone else is trying to figure out how to fight or control Taylor, Legends simply argues to let Taylor continue to defeat villains and other threats. The Doctor Mother eventually agrees with him.]]

** A less... [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] example occurs earlier in the story, when Taylor punches [[spoiler: Lung]] across the city and into the bay. [[HulkingOut It just pisses him off]].

** Taylor's eyes glow a dull crimson [[spoiler: while fighting Moord Nag]].
** It becomes even scarier when [[spoiler: she goes on her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the Slaughterhouse Nine, where her burning red eyes are the ''only'' thing they see while getting picked off one-by-one, until Jack comes face-to-face with her.]]

** And, of course, there's his cape name: [[spoiler: ''Batman!'']]

* WhamLine: The very last line of the story: [[spoiler: '''Soon, all will be ''Darkseid''.''']]

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Taylor gives a variant of the original version [[spoiler: before giving the Slaughterhouse Nine a well-deserved beatdown.]]

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Taylor takes a cue from Comic/{{All Star Superman}} and tells Amy this during [[spoiler: the Behemoth fight]].

* MeteorMove: Taylor takes [[spoiler:Behemoth]] into outer space then suplexes [[spoiler:it]] into an uninhabited Canadian island.

* PowerOfTheSun: Taylor gets her power from the sun. [[spoiler:Amy also uses it to heal Taylor after her fight with Behemoth, since nothing else was working.]]

* OutsideContextHero: Downplayed. Earth Bet is an universe of superhumans, but nobody had ever encountered a Kryptonian before: Taylor is an alien with numerous and vast powers, and they don't come from a shard. Cauldron doesn't know how dealing with her, and several characters note that there's nothing they can do if she went on a rampage.

* WhamLine: The very last line of the story: [[spoiler: '''Soon, all will be ''Darkseid''.''']]

MegaCrossover sequel ''[[Fanfic/ThuktunsCRISIS CRISIS]]'' currently in progress.

* OneWingedAngel: When gang boss Lung fought [[TheHero Taylor]], he transformed into a dragon. As the battle went on, he kept evolving, becoming bigger, stronger, more powerful, growing more sets of wings... but since he was fighting a [[Franchise{{Superman}} Kryptonian]], his strategy didn't work.
