"It does not matter what they think. You forced me to destroy worlds, but I will fight for this one!"


— Kara standing up to Brainiac in order to defend Earth from him. [src]

Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl and formerly known as The Warrior, is the tritagonist of My Adventures with Superman.

Born into the House of El, Kara is the daughter of Zor-El, the brother of Jor-El, thereby Kal-El's paternal cousin. She was sent away by her father in the last moments before Krypton fell, the same day when Clark was sent away by his parents.

But it was all for naught, as Kara was found by Brainiac, following the aftermath of her home planet's destruction. Kara was then raised and brainwashed to serve the evil machine as his second in command 'The Warrior' in his campaign to conquer throughout the universe. After discovering Brainiac's malevolent intentions, she turned against, and ultimately destroyed her former mentor once his invasion of Earth was thwarted.

Wishing to redeem herself for her actions under Brainiac's control, and as a way to honor Krypton's wish for peace, she followed her cousin's example and became a hero of planet Earth, officially taking up the mantle of 'Supergirl' in the process.

Early Life[]

Baby Kara

Kara Zor-El was born on the planet Krypton to young Zor-El and his wife, Alura In-Ze. She was placed into a pod by her father to avoid Krypton's inevitable destruction, during the last moments before the planet fell, the same day when her cousin Kal-El was sent away by her aunt and uncle, Kara was sent away just before the explosion.

But she was later found by Brainiac, the robotic entity who wiped out her entire race, he then raised her in order to serve the maniacal A.I. as his second-in-command in his campaign to conquer the rest of the universe. At some point Brainiac subjected Kara to intense brainwashing methods; from then on whenever Kara came across a new world Brainiac would activate her programing and cause mass destruction to the planets and their inhabitants, while Kara would have no memory of the pain and devastation she caused.

Kara is seen standing in front of Superman when he awakens inside Kara's ship and breaks free from his container. He is shocked that Kara would kidnap him and tries to get back home. His suit manifests a helmet around his head, and he flies into outer space, only to realize that he is in the middle of nowhere and doesn't know where Earth is. Kara believes Superman's time on Earth has made him weak and wants Superman to join her in conquering the galaxy on behalf of the Kryptonian Empire, but Superman insists he will not conquer the Earth because it's his home and tells her that wanting peace is not weakness, but Kara replies that her father knew that Superman would oppose their plans of conquest and insists they should see her father. Superman admits being interested in seeing Krypton and Kara smiles as she puts on a thought projector, a device that turns thoughts into images. Kara shows him an image of the last days of Krypton and describes the Empire as a benevolent force that helped primitive species join the wider galaxy and become model Kryptonian citizens. Superman acknowledges that the Krypton he is seeing is beautiful but it's not real, just a holographic projection. He still considers Earth his home and even uses the thought projector to show Kara a childhood memory of him with his adoptive human parents Jonathan and Martha, who loved him and raised him as one of their own.

Superman teases her for her crush with Jimmy and Kara admits that she has been collecting objects from the planets she has brought into the Empire because she is interested in them. However, her father believes her interest in non-Kryptonian things is a weakness and that she should strive to be nothing but a warrior, But Clark retorts that's what he wants and asks her what she wants, so she answers she wants what's best for the empire. Superman asks Kara to show her the planets she has visited, and she enthusiastically agrees saying she knows just the place and plots a course.

Supergirl-Fun In Space MAWS S2E6

Kara having fun in space.

Along the way, they come across an asteroid field and Kara says they will have to clear it manually. Kara decided to play a little prank by pretending to suffocate before revealing to Superman that Kryptonians like the two of them don't actually need helmets in outer space. Kara takes this as an opportunity to bond with her cousin and they start throwing ice asteroids at each other, similar to a snowball fight and they both admit to having a good time. When Superman demonstrates his bioelectric powers, she asked how he did that, and her cousin explained that every time he had to protect someone important to him, he got stronger; when Superman stated that he assumed it was a "Kryptonian Thing" she expresses doubt as she is the "Defender of the New Kryptonian Empire" and if anyone should get stronger from fighting it should be her. After finally arriving at Thanagar, Kara brings Superman to the planet's surface, hoping to impress him. However, what they find is a broken, smoking ruin with no people in sight. Superman asks what happened to the people and Kara realizes she doesn't even remember the last time she visited Thanagar. Suddenly, a group of robots surrounds them, and Kara recognizes them as soldiers for her father.

Supergirl Brainwashed

Kara after Brianiac activates her programming.

The robots escort the Kryptonians to the citadel of Kandor, the last remnant of the Empire. There, Kara introduces her to her father, the machine known as Brainiac. Superman is confused, as Kara's father is Zor-El, his uncle, but Brainiac is a machine. Brainiac explains that he used to be the artificial intelligence that operated most of Krypton's technological infrastructure, but now, he is confined to this station. He is displeased by Kara's choice to travel to Earth alone, but at least she found Superman so they can rebuild the Empire. Kara enters the room seeing an exhausted Kal-El on the floor and begins asking what happened to her cousin, but Brainiac is angry that she disobeyed his orders and erases her memory of what happened. When she awakens, Kara finds Superman in suspended animation and Brainiac is pleased that she brought his cousin home with acting. However sometime later, Kara snaps out of her brainwashed state when she sees the picture of her and Jimmy as well as her souvenir from Thanagar, which in turn causes her to remember her experiences with Superman and decides to travel to the planets she brought into the Empire, but she only finds burned planets with no people in sight. The only thing she finds in Thanagar is a wall with pictures of a flying woman attacking the Thanagarians. Kara realizes the dreadful truth: she destroyed Thanagar, alongside all the planets she supposedly saved. Kara became extremely devastated and appalled by her own actions and flies into space, trying to process what she has done and realizing her cousin is in great danger wonders how to save him, only to find a ship flying towards her. To her surprise the ship occupied by Lois, Jimmy, the Brain and Monsieur Mallah.

Thanks to a Flamebird post, they are rescued by the Daily Planet. As Kara wonders what to do now that she knows everything, she ever believed in was a lie, Jimmy comforted her telling Kara that Superman was also bred for combat but that is not all that he is, and she also can choose what kind of person she wants to be. As the invasion progressed, Kara confronted Brainiac once more and after hearing what he thought was best, she finally accepted that Brainiac was just a heartless machine and renounced him as a father as she engaged him in battle.

After Lois successfully frees Superman's mind, Brainiac is forced to retreat back into his original body and attaches anti-kryptonite armor to himself and his forces, which allows him to dispatch and take control of Luthor's army of Metallos. Brainiac then tries destroying Earth with a giant laser but is stopped first by Kara and then by a recovered Superman, now brandishing new armor. The cousins try to attack Brainiac, but he uses the Metallos to shoot them both with kryptonite severely weakening them and knocking them out.

My Adventures with Supergirl[]
MAWS S2E10 Family Love Greater Than Evil

Superman helps Kara through the darkness.

When Kara and Superman woke up, they were surprised that John Irons and a handful of her cousin’s enemies (Livewire, Heat Wave and Intergang) came to help them. With their assistance they were able to fight through the Metallos and reach Brainiac’s ship, but before the two Kryptonians could begin their attack Brainiac activated the “Eradicator" protocol in Kara’s subconscious and she went on a rampage. Superman managed to hold her down and thanks to the words of her cousin as well as Lois and Jimmy, she was reminded that she was not alone anymore, that Brainiac was wrong about her being nothing without him, and that she was her own person. Kara feeling their love and encouragement she finally broke free of Brainiac’s control once and for all.

S2E10 Superman-Supergirl In New suits

Superman and Supergirl's Kryptonian Armor get a new look.

Kara and Kal-El began pushing Brainiac’s ship out of orbit and closer to the sun. However, as one further gambit, at the cost of almost crippling his ship, Brainiac gathered kryptonite he had synthesized and used it to fire a massive laser beam at the cousins, which directly hit Kara and sent her plummeting into the sun, with Superman pursuing her having also been affected by the residual effects of the beam. Despite initial worries that they were succumbing to the sun's gravitational pull, its rays not only started to heal them, but also negated the kryptonite effects, making the cousins realize that the sun was the source of their power.

Supergirl defeats Brainiac s2e10

Supergirl destroys Brainiac.

Rejuvenated, Kara and Kal-El began flying back towards Brainiac’s ship at full speed, with Kara’s Kryptonian suit suddenly transmogrifying to match her cousin’s, and with full force, they bisected and completely obliterated the warship. Brainiac then attempted a final desperate Kamikaze attack with a Kryptonite blade against the duo, so Kara intercepted him and despite Brainiac landing a hit on Kara, she still dealt the finishing blow and ripped out Brainiac’s CPU, with the remnants of his body falling into the sun. As Kara listened to the people of Metropolis cheering, she believed they were cheering for her cousin, but Superman corrected her saying that they were cheering for both of them, which made her happy because she finally did some good. She then passed out from the kryptonite Brainiac cut her with.

Supergirl finds true family

Kara finally with her true family.

Kara woke up days later at the Kent family farmhouse. As she got up, she looked at Brainiac’s CPU on the end table next to her bed with a grim expression, then went downstairs and saw Lois and Jimmy sleeping with a welcome basket which made her smile. Then Clark walked in, who was thrilled to see Kara finally awake and introduced her to Jonathan and Martha who were simply ecstatic to meet the newest member of the family. Kara happily greeted the Kents and Clark decided that before lunch he would teach Kara catch as it is part of family tradition. Kara became known as “Supergirl” and helped rebuild Metropolis. At some point she gave Vikki Vale an exclusive interview. Now happily living on earth, Kara, was eating ramen with Clark, Lois and Jimmy on the rooftop of the Daily Planet when suddenly a fire broke out, so the heroes flew off to save lives.

Season 3[]

TBA

Appearance[]

Kara is a blonde, blue-eyed young woman with a rather voluptuous-yet-lean built figure. After the final battle with Brainiac, she briefly gained a large cut over her right cheek due to Kryptonite poisoning, but it healed in a short amount of time.

Outfits[]

The Warrior Outfit[]

As the Warrior, she is seen wearing a black and white bulky combat suit with the House of El family crest on her chest, a red cape and a helmet with only one glowing red eye. During and after her fight with Superman it stopped being bulky and matched Kara's slender frame and was now black with red lining. She had tall, spiked shoulder pads and lost the cape and helmet. Kara's jawline was also covered in armor.

Causal Civilian Clothing[]

On Earth, she wears a black vest with her family's crest on the left side over a white shirt, blue pants and black flats. She also wears a black bracelet with a red stone on her right wrist which is actually her combat suit.

During her time recuperating at the Kent Farm, Kara wore a pink sweater and blue short jeans.

In a sneak peek of season 3, Kara is wearing a white T-Shirt with blue sleeves and green crocodile cargo pants.

Supergirl Costume[]

After being healed by the sun's rays, her Kryptonian Armor suddenly altered its appearance to match Superman's with a few differences; her red cape comes with a red scarf, the yellow lining is around her ankles instead of the knees, her belt buckle is slightly smaller than Superman's and her crest doesn't have yellow lining.

Personality[]

As the Warrior, she seemed very confident when she is told that Earth is in rebellion, she simply dismisses it, saying that they will conquer it in the end.[1] Having no qualms in seeing a world burn with the citizens screaming, seeing it as natural for conquering. Due to Brainiac's parenting, Kara believes all Kryptonians should be warriors, as such she looks down on Clark's lifestyle, then deeming him to be both a joke and a disappointment. She also seems to be border-on aggressive as she attacked Clark without hesitation when ordered to. However, she was hesitant to keep fighting in front of innocent citizens, seeing how visibly scared they were, only to continue when being controlled by the evil machine. Though despite being ruthless, she is also curious about ordinary life and new places, which allows her to disobey Brainiac's commands and attempt to discover Clark, as despite learning that Earth was in rebellion against the evil machine's empire, Kara sought out to find her long lost cousin no matter the cost. Hoping to find a warrior, but in reality, wanting to find the only person in the universe who truly understands her.

MAWS Kara learns the terrible truth

Kara devastated when her memories of the horrible things she did while she was brainwashed returned.

It is later revealed that her warrior persona was the result of Brainiac placing her under periodic mind control and utilizing mental conditioning, as Kara’s true self becomes horrified and traumatized by the acts of genocide she committed and was lied to by Brainiac, who stated the planets that she actually destroyed had become part of the New Kryptonian Empire. So, in truth, Kara didn't know the true nature of conquering and she never liked the intention of hurting innocent people. This revelation is enough for her to turn against Brainiac to stop him, even if she was reluctant at first due to Brainiac having been her father for many years. However, eventually she accepted that Brainiac was indeed evil and fought him without hesitation. Kara is riddled with guilt for all the terrible thing she did while under Brainiac's control and it was only thanks to the encouragement from her true family and loved ones did, she find the strength to move forward.

Supergirl Blushing

Kara blushing when asked about her feelings towards Jimmy.

Upon arriving on Earth to look for Clark, she became visibly confused and fascinated by the Earth. She does not understand Earth's machinery as when a truck came at her, she prepared to punch it away. She also seems to be a bit naïve when it comes to Earth; as when Jimmy told her that he is a leader of the Flamebird Division at the planet, in her mind she thought his surname was "Flamebird" and he was actually the leader of the entire Earth, not knowing that he meant the Daily Planet. Kara also has trouble understanding hyperbole, slang or idioms as when Clark teased her about having a crush on Jimmy, she stated that she didn’t want to crush him, she wanted to conquer his planet.

Kara eats a hot dog

Kara's love of earth food.

Kara has an interest in food as shown in "Most Eligible Superman." Kara loves the taste of Earth’s food so much; she was so excited to eat it that made Jimmy spend nearly a thousand dollars of his money on her for food. In "The Machine Who Would Be Empire" Kara had curiosity of what her home world's fruit tasted like. She also has a mischievous and fun side, as when she pranked Clark by faking a helmet malfunction causing him to panic only to reveal she was fine – revealing Kryptonians can breathe in the vacuum of space – and laughed at him for panicking and also used the ice asteroids in the asteroid field they were in to engage in their own version of a snowball fight.

Her outing with Jimmy also gave her a chance to really explore and understand the Earth as when she first saw ice cream, she did not know what it was until Jimmy convinced her into eating some and found it delicious. Upon continuing exploring Metropolis she wanted to see everything, visually showing her excitement to see and enjoying walking around and exploring the city. This may indicate that due to being raised by Brainiac and conquering worlds without knowing them, she seems to have been raised in a solitary life. Kara also does not seem fond of loud places, as when Jimmy took her to the bachelor and bachelorette contest she was visibly annoyed by the loud noises and flashing lights though this may be the result of her super hearing.

Supergirl hears cheering before KO

Supergirl feels happy after achieving victory and gaining peace.

After finally realizing that everything Brainiac taught her was wrong in "Pierce the Heavens, Superman!," and having been inspired by her cousin and her new Earth friends, she decided to do the right thing and make up for her past actions. She felt immense pride when she and Superman saved Earth; not only was it was the first genuine heroic deed she had ever done, it also confirmed her trajectory onto a much better path and helped her find her true purpose. After Brainiac's defeat, Kara began carving out her own destiny and has become much happier, as well as fully embracing her kind and compassionate side, while still retaining her Kryptonian warrior spirit.

Trivia[]

  • The Kara version of Supergirl first debuted in the pages of Action Comics #252 in 1959, which also featured the debut of Superman villain Metallo in a backup story. A Supergirl was created in the year prior in 1958, a short lived being born from a magical wish by Jimmy Olsen for Superman to have a fellow Kryptonian to talk to as a companion. This story was done for DC to gauge reader reactions to the idea of a female Superman counterpart, which allowed Kara to come into existence because of positive fan responses.
  • Her civilian clothing was designed by the animators to resemble Android 18 from Dragon Ball Z.
    • Her relationship to Jimmy is somewhat similar between Android 18 and Krillin (who is the best friend of the main character) from Dragon Ball Z.
      • Her character arc also seems to follow some cues from Raditz from the same series, being a blood relative to the alien protagonist who is disappointed at their kindness and fondness towards Earth and its people. However, unlike Raditz, Kara realized she was wrong and also grew fond of Earth and its people, thus making her similar to Vegeta in that regard.
    • In addition, her hairstyle resembles Ochaco Uraraka from My Hero Academia.
    • Kara's storyline throughout Season 2 strongly resembles Hunter from The Owl House, as they were both raised by abusive father figures to serve as their second in command before being sent out to attack the main character before befriending and falling in love with one of their friends. Afterwards, the two would turn on their abusers and help the heroes save the world before finding a new family in their enemies turned friends.
  • Unlike all previous depictions of Kara as Supergirl, her cape is not attached to her costume. Rather she wears it around her neck like a large scarf/muffler.
  • Unlike previous incarnations, this is version of Kara is the same age as her cousin, thanks to not being kept in suspended animation.
