Supergirl
Supergirl is the name of several
fictional characters, all depicted in the
DC Comics universe. They are
superheroes generally considered to be the female counterpart to
Superman. The first appeared in
Superman #123 (1958) and was created by writer
Otto Binder and artist
Al Plastino. Binder also created female counterparts for
Captain Marvel (
Mary Marvel) and
Captain America (
Miss America).
Due to a somewhat disjointed
continuity, several different versions of Supergirl have appeared in
comic books throughout the years. However, the most well-known incarnation is
Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, also sent to
Earth when their home planet
Krypton was destroyed. Like her cousin, Kara can fly and possesses superhuman strength and abilities.
In
1985, the miniseries
Crisis on Infinite Earths featured Supergirl's heroic death and then
rebooted DC Comics' continuity, changing it so Superman was the only survivor of Krypton. This began a 20-year stint in which several incarnations of Supergirl were introduced, none of them Superman's cousin until a post-Crisis
Kara Zor-El incarnation was recently introduced to modern continuity.
In 1984,
Helen Slater starred as Supergirl in a highly anticipated
film, which was part of the
Superman film franchise. Variations of the character have also appeared in recent animated shows
Superman: The Animated Series and
Justice League Unlimited.Superwoman
In many years after the first appearance of
Superman there had been numerous one-off stories dabbling with the notion of a female Superman. The first was likely "
Lois Lane - Superwoman," a story published in
Action Comics #60 (May 1943), in which a hospitalized Lois Lane dreams she had gained superpowers thanks to a blood transfusion from the Man of Steel, and begins her own career as Superwoman complete with copycat costume.
The Superwoman idea, or ones just like it, would be periodically reborn later on, though perhaps as mere homages to the original rather than with the intention of creating a new, permanently superpowered character. One such story was in
Action Comics #156 (May 1951) when Lois accidentally gains superpowers thanks to an invention of arch Superman foe,
Lex Luthor. This time, Lois employs a short blond wig in her crime fighting identity, thereby giving
Superwoman an almost identical look to the later Kara Zor-El version of the Supergirl. (Interestingly, Superman later suggested Kara wear a brunette wig for her Linda Lee alter-ego.)
Claire Kent
In
Superboy #78 (a story entitled "Claire Kent, Alias Super-Sister"), Superboy saves the life of an alien woman named Shar-La. Angry about his disrespect towards women, Shar-La turns Superboy into a girl. In Smallville, Clark claims to be Claire Kent, an out-of-town relative who will be staying with the Kents, in turn Clark will stay with Claire's family. When in costume, he appears as Superboy's
twin sister Super-Sister, a sort of "Supergirl", claiming they exchanged places. As a girl, he is ridiculed and scorned by men, and he wants to prove he's as good as he always was. In the end, it has all been an illusion created by Shar-La. He has learned not to ridicule women.
The First Supergirl
In
Superman #123 (August 1958),
Jimmy Olsen used a magic totem to wish a "Super-Girl" into existence as a companion and aid to Superman. However, the two frequently got in each other's way until she was fatally injured protecting Superman from a Kryptonite meteor; Jimmy wished the dying girl out of existence (at her insistance). DC used this story specifically to gauge public response to the concept of a completely new super-powered female counterpart to Superman.

After positive fan reaction to Super-Girl, the first—and still most familiar—version of Supergirl debuted in 1959.
The character of Supergirl was introduced in
Action Comics #252 [
1] (May 1959) as
Kara Zor-El, the last survivor of
Argo City of the planet
Krypton, which had survived the explosion of the planet and had drifted through space. When the inhabitants of the colony were slain by
Kryptonite, Kara was sent to Earth by her father
Zor-El to be raised by her cousin Kal-El, known as Superman. Fearing that she might not be recognized by Superman, Kara's parents provided a costume based closely on the Man of Steel's own.
On Earth, where she acquired super-powers identical to Superman´s, she adopted the secret identity of Linda Lee, an orphan at Midvale Orphanage, concealing her blonde hair beneath a brunette wig and functioning as Supergirl only in secret, at Superman´s insistence. Adopted by Fred & Edna Danvers, she attended Midvale High School as Linda Lee Danvers. After graduation she attends Stanhope College on a scholarship.
Supergirl´s secret identity is a closely held secret, but it is known to Superman, her foster parents and the Legion of Super-Heroes, of which she served as a member until resigning her membership.
Like all Kryptonian survivors, Supergirl is vulnerable to kryptonite. Comet the Superhorse is Supergirl´s pet and equine companion. Streaky, the orange cat that acquires temporary super-powers as a result of its exposure to "X-Kryptonite" is Linda Lee Danvers pet cat.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
One way DC demonstrated the epic nature of its 12-issue
limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths (April 1985-March 1986) was through the deaths of important characters. In #7 (October 1985), Supergirl—in one of the most memorable moments of the series—bravely sacrifices her life to save her cousin, and the
multiverse, from destruction.
When DC continuity was rebooted following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC editorial felt that Superman should be the sole survivor of Krypton. Kara was thus erased from the new history of the DC universe.

Matrix as Supergirl from Adventures of Superman#502 by Tom Grummet. |
After the
reboot of Superman in the late 1980s, Supergirl's origin was completely rewritten. No longer would she be Superman's cousin, or even Kryptonian...
No longer anyone's cousin
Debuting in
Superman (2nd series) #16 (April 1988), Supergirl was now an artificial life form made from a
protoplasm matrix created by the
Lex Luthor of an artificially created "pocket universe", who in that reality was a benevolent scientist (and, unlike his counterpart in the real world, had a full head of red hair). Fashioned to resemble
Lana Lang, and wearing a feminine version of Superman's costume, the protoplasmic "Supergirl" called Matrix did not have Superman's powers, but did have flight,
telekinesis (which she could use to increase her strength and speed to super-human levels), shape-shifting, and invisibility.
When she came to Superman's Earth, Matrix again took on a permanent female form, this time a blonde girl resembling the pre-crisis Supergirl, and lived with the Kents in Smallville. The Kents, treating Matrix like their own daughter, gave her the name "Mae" (short for "Matrix"). She donned her original costume and re-assumed the identity of Supergirl. In this guise, she began a romance with the mainstream DC universe's Lex Luthor. When Mae realized Luthor's evil nature, she left him to find her own way in the world, serving for a time as a member of the
Teen Titans.
Earth angel

A new
Supergirl title appeared in September 1996. Writer
Peter David merged the protoplasmic Supergirl with a troubled young
Virginia woman named Linda Danvers (not to be confused with the original Supergirl), together becoming an "Earth-Born
Angel". There were three of these Earth-Born Angels: the Angel of Fire (Supergirl); The Angel of Love (a super-being named
Comet based in Linda's hometown of
Leesburg, Virginia); and the Angel of Light (a super-being named Blithe).
After teaming with the other Earth-Born angels to defeat the villain Carnivore, Linda fell from grace and was separated from the angelic part of herself. Linda retained some of Supergirl's super-strength and invulnerabilty, and (while she could no longer fly) could leap 1/8th of a mile.
Linda acted as Supergirl for a while, attempting to locate her angelic aspect with the help of a demon trapped in human form named Buzz. Her Earth Angel aspect merged with the super-being Twilight, who became the new Earth-born Angel of Fire. Twilight used her healing powers to increase Linda's strength back to her 'Supergirl' levels, and restore her powers of flight and telekinesis.
In
Supergirl #75 (December 2002), the original Supergirl (
Kara Zor-El) arrived in Linda's town. She had apparently been detoured into the post-Crisis universe on her way to the pre-Crisis Earth. Learning Kara was destined to die, Linda traveled to the pre-Crisis universe in her place, where she married Superman and had a daughter, Ariella. However, in the end Linda had to allow history to unfold as it should have, with Kara assuming her rightful place, including dying during the Crisis in order to ensure one universe would survive.
Upon returning to the contemporary DC universe, Linda abandoned the role of Supergirl. According to an interview with Newsarama, [
2], following the events of
Infinite Crisis, the Matrix Supergirl was wiped from existence, though Geoff Johns has stated that Danvers has not. [
3]
Cir-El
Following this, another Supergirl appeared, claiming to be the daughter of Superman and
Lois Lane from the future. She had super-strength, speed, and hearing like Superman, but instead of flight she could only leap great distances. Strangely, she had the power to fire blasts of red solar energy (the very hue of sunlight that diminishes Superman's strength). Her name was, apparently, Cir-El, though her alter ego, which seemed to be more of a personality change than a simple change of costume, was that of a street person named Mia. She was later found to be a human girl, altered on a genetic level to seem Kryptonian [or partly Kryptonian]; she died to thwart a plot involving
Brainiac 13.
Superman Vol. 2 #200 heavily implied that when the timeline realigned itself, Cir-El (or Mia) was no longer in continuity.

The "Supergirls"
The Supergirls was a three-part story-line, which occurred in
Action Comics # 806-808, that featured several female Superman related characters. The issues starred
Cir-El,
Girl 13, and
Natasha Irons. A ninja-like woman named Byakko, who blamed
Superman for the death of her husband (Gunshin), was able to use her mystical abilities to critically injure Superman. Superman had convinced her to be merciful to her enemies, and when she spared the life of a
Yakuza member called Sakki, Sakki killed Gunshin. Byakko felt that if Superman hadn't tried to twist her values, Gunshin would still be alive. Girl 13 intervened and
teleported Superman to safety. Byakko followed, but Natasha Irons, in her guise of
Steel IV, aided Girl 13 in Superman's defense, and was wounded by Byakko's energy dagger. Cir-El then entered the fray, desperate to protect her "father". Cir-El and Girl 13 engaged the ninja in battle, while Natasha administered first-aid to Superman. But it was
Lana Lang who ended the battle, showing the ninja letters from the families of people Superman couldn't save, letters he kept, that showed that Superman agonized over every death he couldn't prevent, including Gunshin. Byakko relented, and said that Superman was lucky to have three children who would risk their lives for him. Superman referred to the three exhausted girls as "Supergirls".
"With a Vengeance"
Darkseid trapped
Superman in the "Source Wall" in
Superman/Batman #24.
Bizarro brought together the Pre-Crisis
Kara Zor-El , Modern Age Kara Zor-El,
Linda Danvers,
Cir-El and
Power Girl to rescue Superman from the Source Wall. After his escape, he thanked the Supergirls, but he only recognized Kara, Power Girl, and Linda. He didn't recognize pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El and Cir-El because their timelines had been erased. They were then summoned by Mxyptlk via
boom tube for his fight against the Joker. Upon the appearance of
Bat-Mite, they banished "everyone who doesn't need to be here," and all the Supergirls and Maximums disappeared before the climax of the battle.
In 2004,
Kara Zor-El was reintroduced into DC continuity in the
Superman/Batman series. Like the pre-Crisis version, this Kara claims to be the daughter of Superman's uncle Zor-El and his wife Alura. In a twist from the traditional Supergirl origin, Kara is actually older than Kal-El (Superman); she was a teenager when he was a baby. When Krypton exploded, she was sent in a rocket (in suspended animation) to find and look after Superman. However, her rocket got caught in a Kryptonian
asteroid and she arrived on Earth years after her cousin did. Writer
Jeph Loeb explains, "She came to Earth essentially to look after this baby who was sent at the same time. But her rocket got wedged into a huge chunk of the planet and it has taken years to get here. When she arrives, the baby isn't a baby, he's Superman—the greatest hero the universe has ever known. And as a teenager who has lost everything in her past, this is quite the
monkey wrench. It may be part of the reason why, at least at first, she'll be hesitant to spend too much time with Superman. She was supposed to take care of him, not the other way around."
Following the end of "The Supergirl from Krypton" arc, Kara officially introduced herself to many of the heroes of the DC Universe, adopted a Supergirl costume, and accepted the name. Jeph Loeb commenced a new Supergirl series in August 2005.
The first storyline contained Supergirl interacting with various heroes of the DC universe, including Power Girl, with whom both their powers seemed to go haywire when close to each other. The storyline culminated in a showdown between Supergirl and
Lex Luthor, in his power suit. Luthor shot Kara with 'black kryptonite', after being told by Darkseid that such an event would bring out her 'true self'. The unexpected result is that a second Kara emerges, wearing black instead of blue. This 'evil' Kara clashes with Lex, the Justice League and eventually the 'good' Kara, revealing a possible origin that suggests Kara was sent by her family to kill Kal-el, as revenge upon a family grudge. The two Karas are eventually tied together by Wonder Woman with her lasso of truth, and is asked "Who are you?" The two become one again, apparently the good 'Kara,' who dismisses the suggestions as lies and decides to no longer worry about her past.
As a result of events at the end of the
Infinite Crisis, a "
One Year Later" storyline began in which Supergirl, for reasons as yet unexplained, is living in the bottled city of
Kandor where she, along with Power Girl, fight an evil as Nightwing and Flamebird. In this storyline, Kandor is overrun by a dictator that appears to be Superman/Kal-El, and whom oppresses the non-Kryptonian aliens living in the city. Their presence there is suggested to be part of Kara's renewed search to discover what became of her home city on Krypton, Argo City. Meanwhile, Supergirl is fighting the memories of her orders to kill Kal-El by her father, suggested by her 'evil' self in a previous storyline. She and Power Girl confront the dictator directly, and Supergirl is tempted to kill him, but unexpectedly kisses him, asking him to save her.
It is ultimately revealed that the evil Kal-El is actually
Ultraman, a survivor of the now destroyed parallel world known as
Earth-Three. He is controlled through psychic means by
Saturn Queen, a villain who appeared in a storyline in the "Superman/Batman" series. Saturn Queen has Ultraman convinced she is their mother, which echoes her role in the other book. Both survived the Infinite Crisis by escaping through the Phantom Zone, and from there found their way to Kandor. (It is unknown whether Ultraman escaped to the Phantom Zone from the original
Crisis on Infinite Earths, when it had appeared he died, or whether the actions of Earth-Three's Lex Luthor in the Infinite Crisis recreated Ultraman briefly enough for him to survive.) Saturn Queen is also responsible for Supergirl's quick change of behavior. Supergirl frees herself from this control, through a foreboding vision of her real mother, and confronts Ultraman with a freed Power Girl. She is close to killing him, but Saturn Queen makes her an offer, for in return of her 'son's' life she tells Kara the 'truth' about Argo City. Supergirl flies off with a confused Power Girl following her.
In a concurrent and as-yet unexplained storyline in another series, Supergirl was transported to the 31st century, where, because of the future technology and unfamiliarity, she believes she is dreaming. She is currently a member of the
Legion of Super-Heroes, and the Legion's series was renamed
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes (in reference to the old
Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes title).
Supergirl, confusingly, also appears in the first "One Year Later" book of Superman, where she briefly responds to a signal from Clark's signal watch to defeat a villain in Metropolis. No explanation for how she is present there, when she is supposedly also both in Kandor and in the future, has been given or hinted at, even with the past storyline of her splitting.
In addition to the most well-known versions of the character, certain comics have created their own interpretations.
In
Frank Miller's
Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, Superman has a daughter with Wonder Woman whose name is Lara. She had been hidden from the world all her life prior to the story, but later becomes one of the keys to the eventual defeat of Lex Luthor and Brainiac (the main antagonists of the story). She also has some of Wonder Woman's powers, benefiting from both Kryptonian and Amazonian heritage.
Kurt Busiek's
Superman: Secret Identity miniseries, which retells and reimagines the story of Superman's life, culminates with Lois becoming pregnant and giving birth to two girls, both of whom grow up to manifest their father's powers and adopt variations on his costume.
Supergirl has featured in several
Elseworlds titles, most notably
Batgirl/Supergirl: Elseworld's Finest, which described a Barbara Gordon/Kara Zor-El team in a world without their male counterparts, and
Supergirl: Wings, a reworking of the
Earth Angel storyline, in which Matrix is Linda's guardian angel, whose cynical view of her charge may lead to her falling.
Film
A
feature film adaptation
Supergirl was released in 1984, starring
Helen Slater in her first motion picture role. It was a spin-off from the popular 1978 film
Superman: The Movie, with
Marc McClure reprising his role as
Jimmy Olsen. The movie performed poorly at the box office and failed to impress critics or audiences. In fact,
Peter O'Toole received a
Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor for his performance. Prior to release,
Supergirl was expected to be the first film of a series, but its failure at the box office cancelled plans for a
Supergirl II. A possible ill omen preceding this picture's release, which critics hastened to point out, was a movie poster featuring a painting of the title character flying past the
Statue of Liberty... with its
left arm raising the torch.
Helen Slater, who played the lead role, had a contract for 3 films. There are several reasons why they were not made; one of the main reasons was that the movie did very poorly in the US. However, the movie was a great success outside the US, especially in Japan where Helen Slater was sent to promote the film. You can find some items made only in Japan about the movie, including a statue in the likeness of Slater as Supergirl. Another reason was that, around the time of the movie´s release, DC published its mini-series "Crisis on the Infinite Earths" where the original Supergirl (the one in the movie) was killed. Rumor has it this was because DC wanted Superman to be the only survivor from Krypton; there are also versions concerning the general editor of DC Comics back then, who, apparently, simply didn't like the character. Because of these reasons, the producers lost interest in doing another movie and Helen Slater later asked to be free of her contract.
Recently the film was made into a set of 2 DVDs and is apparently the most popular buy from that set of movies (Superman I, II, , etc..) a new DVD is rumored to be done again with more extras.
Animation
In
Superman: The Animated Series, Supergirl was introduced as Kara In-Ze, from Krypton's "sister world" of Argo. A headstrong and independent teenage girl, she was placed in suspended animation before Argo became uninhabitably cold due to the aftershocks of Krypton's destruction, and later found by Superman. Her mother Kala, a physician on Argo before its destruction, stated in a hologram found posthumously by Superman, that the cryogenic suspended animation was instigated five years after the destruction of Krypton. The Kents—Clark Kent's adoptive parents—took Kara in, with her posing as Clark's cousin, Kara Kent. This Supergirl shares Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite; she also suffers from
cheimatophobia (fear of cold) due to the events leading up to her time in suspended animation.
In her S:TAS debut
Little Girl Lost, a two-part, Kara is eager to take her position at the right hand of Superman; however, he is loath to let her, calling her too young and too unready. He protests that he did not save her, the Last Daughter of Argo, from its icy wastes so that she could be shot by any thug in the latest version of
Intergang. Determined to prove her abilities, Kara teams up with the equally dissatisfied
Jimmy Olsen (who is pulled off the Intergang case by a protective
Lois Lane and
Perry White) to investigate the recent spate of robberies. They consequently uncover
Granny Goodness's role and her connection to
Apokolips, and Kara faces her baptism of fire when the twisted fiend unleashes the power of her
Female Furies.
Kara became good friends with
Barbara Gordon in
The New Batman Adventures episode
Girls' Nite Out.
In
Justice League Unlimited's
Fearful Symmetry, it is revealed that Project: Cadmus created a
clone,
Galatea, using genetic material obtained at
S.T.A.R. Labs during the events of
Legacy, when
Superman forced
Emil Hamilton to operate on the wounded Supergirl. Ironically, it was this event that precipitated Hamilton's outrage at the burgeoning
metahuman population and led him to save her Argosian DNA.
It was in season five that Kara jettisoned her "retro" outfit in favour of the more modern outfit post-Crisis Kara Zor-El wears in her current comic.
In
Far From Home, Supergirl encountered the
Legion of Super-Heroes in the centuries to come, where a concerned
Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox of Colu) informed her that history showed she never returned from that particular mission and he believed she would die on it. She fulfilled that destiny by electing to remain in the future with Brainiac, with whom she had fallen in love (again, a reference to her comic roots).
She shares Superman's weakness to
kryptonite, although she has a higher tolerance due to the slight evolutionary differences between Argosians and Kryptonians. Moreover, she is impetuous and consequently chastised by the
Green Lantern John Stewart In
Initiation: 'You're
headstrong,
unprofessional, and
reckless. If you ever jeopardize yourself or your team-mates again, or go running off half-cocked without a battle plan, I'll personally see to it that you're kicked out of the League, and I don't care
who your cousin is.'
Supergirl is one of the characters who has shared the same
voice actor through her stay in the
DC Animated Universe, voiced by
Nicholle Tom from her premiere in
Little Girl Lost, to her final mission in
Far From Home.
She is also one of the few to be embroiled in continuity issues through the fairly constant DCAU (two other wrinkles being found in the characters of
Kyle Rayner and
Wonder Woman): though it is about a decade from the end of S:TAS to the end of JLU, Kara In-Ze does not seem to age at all; this could be attributed to the longevity of her species, since Superman has aged little as well, evidenced in the
Batman Beyond episode
The Call.
Live-action television
Although never claiming to be Supergirl or Kara Zor-El, a girl named Kara (played by
Adrianne Palicki) appears in an episode of the
Smallville television series claiming to be from Krypton in the episode "Covenant". This Kara did not claim to be Kal-El's cousin, though, and she seemed to be interested in him in a sexual way. However, Clark later tells Lana Lang that Kara is his cousin, visiting from California. At night, she emerges from the woods naked and uses her strength to ruin a car. Acquiring clothing (but not footwear), she goes to Clark Kent's house. It is later revealed that she was not an actual Kryptonian, but an innocent girl kidnapped, brainwashed, and given superpowers by the artificial intelligence that claims to be based on the mind of Jor-El. She was recruited by the A.I. to bring the teenage Clark Kent to confront his Kryptonian heritage and to persuade him to follow his destiny, which is as yet not disclosed. She took Clark Kent to an ancient Indian cave which contains Kryptonian technology. In the end she vanishes, "Jor-El" saying she'd "served her purpose". It is not known whether she survived this or whether she will ever return in the series.
The human name that Kara had in Smallville was not Linda Lee Danvers, but Lindsey Harrison, who was reported missing after the 1989
meteor showers of Smallville. The car that she and her mother (who was driving) was found on Route 8, which was near the Kawatche Caves. According to
Jonathan Kent, Jor-El kidnapped her body and kept Harrison in
stasis for 16 years. It is unclear whether the name "Kara" is meant to imply a connection to Supergirl or if it is simply coincidental.
