Super-Sam?

eliyesSo I'm doing a thing with Supergrrrl (and her reality) as seen in the Hyper-Tension! storyline back in Superboy v3 60-64. (I have identified nearly everyone in that Justice Society except the pink guy and the guy who's, like, if Steel had been inspired by Captain Marvel instead of Superman. The pink guy is kinda driving me nuts.)
The whole time, I've been thinking Superwoman's face looks weirdly familiar, and every time I look at Supergrrrl's face sans shades in that one panel where she's face-on, I get a twitch. I mean, over and above any resemblance to Superman and Superboy, and taking into account the fact that they were drawn by Tom Grummett (he makes everyone look the same, but this was before he was making everyone exactly the same).
And then it hit me:
They look like Sam Carter. Sam even had a similar hair cut to Superwoman's at the time! (Supergrrrl's 'do is the same plus braid and bangs. It's like the hair of Superwoman and Shidou Hikaru had a baby...) Well, except that long-haired alternate reality Sam -- I think the Superboy creative team at the time may have been Stargate fans.
Not like there aren't any Carters in the book -- or at least Guardian hallucinates interacting with Captain Rip Carter, leader of the Boy Commandos! And I've got Boosteriffic reasons to think about that!
eta: Now with link to my Supergrrrl gallery, including pictures of the pink guy.
