Born into the House of El, Kara is the daughter of Zor-El, making her Kal-El's paternal cousin. She was sent away by her father moments before Krypton's destruction, on the very same day as her cousin. The Man of Steel's most personal goal was to find and reunite with the family he lost, a goal that became complicated when he discovered she had been intercepted and brainwashed by Brainiac to serve as his enforcer in his quest to create a twisted version of Krypton.
Thanks to Brainiac's brainwashing, Kara was convinced her mission was to uplift worlds into his New Empire. In reality, the machine had been using her to raze any planet he deemed unworthy. Horrified by this revelation, Kara defected and joined the heroes in stopping Brainiac, helping Clark save the planet and becoming known as Supergirl as a way to honor Krypton's wish for peace.

Kara Zor-El was born on the planet Krypton to young Zor-El and an unknown individual, at the end of a disastrous war that had nearly broken the Kryptonian Empire, one that came to an end Kara's uncle Jor-El led peace talks with the Empire's enemy, leading to a ceasefire agreement. Learning of these talks, and disgusted by the Empire's increasingly altruistic mindset, the Empire's Brainiac System went rogue, turning Krypton's greatest weapon against the planet. Learning of this plan but unable to stop it, the El brothers launched their children away in spacecrafts minutes before their homeworld was destroyed.
Though Kara was meant to join her paternal cousin Kal-El on Earth, under unclear circumstances, her escape pod was intercepted by Brainiac. The AI molded Kara as his enforcer, brainwashing her to act as his ideal Kryptonian warrior. As Kara grew older, she became more independent, leading Brainiac to increase the intensity of her brainwashing, having her respond to the trigger word of "comply" as a means of better controlling her. Brainiac eventually sent Kara to scout potential conquests for the New Kryptonian Empire. Though Kara thought the planets she found would be ideal to join the Empire, Brainiac deemed them unworthy, and ordered Kara to destroy them once he uttered the phrase "Eradicator Override", subsequently erasing Kara's memory of the devastation she caused.[1][2][3] Through this manner, Kara had destroyed at least three worlds by 2024, Thanagar, Euphorix and H'lven.[4]
During her attack on Euphorix, Brainiac observed a portal to Earth closing and destroying the invading spacecraft. When Brainiac went to tell Kara this, the mind-controlled daughter of the House of El says that their resistance is irrelevant, for in the end, Earth will kneel.[5]
In 2024, Jor-El's AI duplicate told Kal-El of Kara's existence, encouraging him to find and activate a Communication Beacon to summon his cousin to him. As this was happening, Brainiac had Kara destroy Thanagar.[1]
After Kal-El reclaimed the Beacon from Task Force X,[6] he activated it out of a sense of loneliness.[7] Though Brainiac sought for the two to travel to Earth together,[4] Kara disobeyed, driven by a desire to do things on her own, away from his rules.[8] Though on the other side of the galaxy when the signal reached her, Kara quickly made her way to Earth.[7]
Tracking her cousin down to Metropolis, Kara met Jimmy Olsen whom she mistook as the leader of Earth, as Jimmy had introduced himself as the leader of the Flamebird division of the Daily Planet. While Jimmy offered to help her find her cousin, Kara was distracted by ice cream and upon hearing she never tried it, Jimmy bought her some, which Kara instantly loved. Jimmy showed her around the city, the two forming a strong bond. After sunset, the two went to Metropolis' Most Eligible Bachelor and Bachelorette. While the decadence of it all disgusted Kara, she thanked Jimmy for leading her to Superman, who was soon crowned the winner of the contest. Kara quickly attempted to introduce herself to Superman only for him to brush her aside, needing to speak to Lois Lane, Which unknowingly caused her brainwashing to strengthen.
Kara confronts Superman.
Kicking down the door, Kara boldly announced herself to Superman, expressing her disappointment at Earth's decadence and how it made her cousin "soft". Donning her armor, Kara offered her cousin two choices: join her in conquering Earth and kneeling before the Kryptonian Empire.
Kara captures her cousin at Brainiac's command.
Though Superman protested that the Empire was gone, Brainiac, monitoring Kara remotely, answered that the Empire was eternal, ordering Kara to execute her cousin. Though Superman managed to shatter the outer shell of Kara's armor, she managed to defeat him. The sight of terrified Humans gave Kara pause before Brainiac told her to "comply". Her brainwashing strengthened, Kara fired her heat vision at her cousin who countered with his super-breath. Intrigued by what he saw, Brainiac changed orders to have Kara bring Kal-El to him. Defeating Kal-El a second time, Kara trapped him in a crystalline container and left Earth.[8]
When her ship was light-years from Earth, Superman awoke and broke free from his container, flying off into space. As the two cousins debated, Kara mentioned her "father", leading Superman to believe that Zor-El and other Kryptonians had survived. With her cousin willing to listen, Kara used a Black Mercy to show him archival recordings of Krytpon, describing the Empire's golden age as a time where it helped primitive species join the wider galaxy and become "model Kryptonian citizens". Though acknowledging its beauty, Superman reminded her that Krypton was gone and that he considered Earth to be his home, using the projector to show him a childhood memory of him with his adoptive human parents Jonathan and Martha, who loved him and raised him as one of their own.

Due to her brainwashing, Kara scoffed at the memory, feeling that Earth had made her cousin soft and stifled his true self. The argument led Superman's mind to drift to his last argument with Lois Lane, leading him to quickly take off the Black Mercy. When he tried to put it back, he found Kara's stash of non-Kryptonian objects, including a photo of her and Jimmy. After Superman teased her for her obvious crush on Jimmy, he questioned her hidden collection, which Kara explained was due to her father viewing her interesting in non-Kryptonian things as a weakness and that she should strive to be nothing but a warrior. At this, Superman suggested that Kara take him to an uplifted planet in the New Empire. Eagerly, Kara set course for Thanagar.
Kara having fun in space.
Nearing the planet, the two came across an asteroid field that would need to be cleared manually. When Kal-El donned his helmet, Kara played 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. When Superman demonstrated 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 expressed doubt as she is the "Defender of the New Kryptonian Empire" and if anyone should get stronger from fighting it should be her. When the two arrived at Thanagar, Kara found it a desolate ruin. Investigating, Kara found a wall she could not see but could not explain what had happened to the planet, nor recall when she last visited. As Kara experienced visions of Thanagar burning, Brainiac's drones arrived.

Brought to Kandor, Kara introduced her cousin to her father, Primus Brainiac. Though displeased by her defying his orders, Brainiac was content to have Kal-El, quickly dismissing Kara so he could speak with Kal. When Kara returned, she found Kal-El broken on the floor. When she questioned, Brainiac scolded her for her insubordination and labelled her a disappointment, telling her to "comply". Her memories of the day suppressed, Kara found Kal-El in the crystalline pod whereupon Brainiac praised her for bringing her cousin to Kandor. Returning to her ship, Kara found the items that she and Kal had been discussing earlier, rousing her memories of her and Kal's time on Thanagar enough to snap her out of her docile state. Visiting H'lven and Euphorix, Kara found them to graveyards as well. Returning to Thanagar, Kara returned to the wall, breaking through Brainiac's conditioning to see it depicted herself as the killer of Thangar, rousing her memories of her doing the same to H'lven and Euphorix. Horrified, Kara flew away from the planet, realizing her cousin was in danger before a spaceship arrived at her location. Stopping the ship, Kara was shocked to see it was crewed by Lois, Jimmy, the Brain and Monsieur Mallah.[4]
After being invited aboard, Kara and Jimmy resumed their flirtations, Kara recognizing Lois as "the one who rejected" her cousin. When queried as to her cousin's whereabouts, Kara revealed her suspicion that Brainiac was malfunctioning and that Kal-El was in danger. Devising a plan to save Kal-El during Brainiac's daily maintenance check, while Mallah and Brain stay behind to repair the spaceship, Kara instructed Jimmy and Lois infiltrate Kandor and save Kal-El. Though Jimmy asked what would become of her, Kara intended to remain a warrior of the Empire. After leading the humans to the station, Kara provided them a map to the observation deck while she went to distract Brainiac at the central mainframe. Before the two seemingly parted ways, she gave Jimmy a goodbye hug and expressed her "admiration" for him as leader of his planet.
Kara falls into complete despair seeing Brainiac taking control of her cousin’s body.
Upon arriving at the command center, Kara found Brainiac subjecting Kal-El to the Black Mercy whereupon he revealed his true colours, that he had brainwashed her to be his view of a warrior, A cold, vicious solder who would destroy any world she thought worthy of joining the Empire and subsequently wiped her memories of each attack, but over time the older she grew the more harder it became to control her. Deeming her irrelevant now that he had Kal-El, whom he would use to build his resurgent Empire. Attacking, Kara managed to disable Brainiac's prime body only for Brainiac to successfully upload himself into her cousin's body. Feeling the need to expunge the weakness that was the love he felt for Kara, Brainiac was subjected to Kryptonite by Jimmy Olsen, only for it to have no effect on the AI who subsequently vented the organics into space before warping Kandor to Earth. Kara managed to rescue Jimmy and Lois before the trio were saved by Brain and Mallah. When Kara asked what should be done, Lois applied the Black Mercy to herself to free Clark's mind.[2]
Managing to warp back to Earth ahead of Brainiac, Jimmy began a Flamebird live-stream to rally allies before the ship was shot down by Task Force X. Telling Brain and Mallah to escape, Kara flew out after Jimmy and Lois, managing to catch them before Amanda Waller used Kryptonite and a Red Sun Omega Field to detain her. Locked in a prison van, the three were saved by Jimmy's live-stream having unintentionally shown his arrest, a citizen's blockade forming to allow Steve Lombard to break them out shortly before Kandor appeared overhead. Despondent, Kara was ready to give before Steve and Jimmy comforted her, telling her that her cousin always got back up and that she was free to make her own choices. After Task Force X had provoked Brainiac, Kara engaged him in battle, swearing to protect the Earth. As the two fought, Task Force X unleashed its Kryptonite-fuelled Metallo army.
Kara clashing with Brainiac.
Thanks to Lois and the shock of pain from the Kryptonite blasts, Kal-El managed to break free from Brainiac's control. In a rage, Brainiac activated his anti-Kryptonite shielding and activated the Archer Beam to destroy Metropolis only for Kara to block the first blast. When Brainiac fired again, the now freed Kal-El blocked the second blast. As the El children flew up to stop Brainiac, he hacked into the Metallos and them fire on the Els, using the Kryptonite to incapacitate them.[9]
Before the cousins could be executed, they were saved by Sam Lane's Cavalry. The Cavalry carved a path through the Metallos, allowing the cousins to reach the command centre. Maniacally laughing, Brainiac revealed he had manipulated them to come him, activating Kara's "Eradicator Override", disabling her. Before he unleashed Kara on Earth, Brainiac revealed himself as the one who had destroyed Krypton, giving Superman the choice of saving Earth or Kara. The programming activated, Kara reverted to an unthinking feral state, ready to raze Earth, Brainiac backing her up with Kandor's artillery. Managing to navigate around the weapons, Superman pulled Kara into an embrace, encouraging her to fight the conditioning, aided by Jimmy and Lois. Feeling their love and encouragement, Kara finally broke free of Brainiac's control once and for all.
Superman and Supergirl's Kryptonian Armor get a new look.
After using her sonic scream to destroy a second volley of missiles, Kara and Kal-El pushed Kandor off Earth, intending to hurl into the Sun. As a final gambit, Brainiac injected Kryptonite into Kandor's power core, intending to kill the El children alongside him. Kara sacrificially took the first shot, falling into the Sun's gravity well. Superman immediately flew after her whereupon direct exposure to the star's energy super-charged the cousins and purged the Kryptonite poisoning from their bodies. Kara revealed to Superman that their powers were fueled by the star.
Supergirl destroys Brainiac.
Shedding the last of her ties to Brainiac, Kara adjusted her suit to match her cousin's, the two overcoming a second Kryptonite beam and bisecting Kandor. Brainiac, Kryptonite growing from his body, made one final attempt to kill Kara only for her to destroy his body, save his CPU, which fell 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 had managed to cut her with.
Kara finally with her true family.
Kara awoke a few days later at the Kent Farm, seeing Brainiac's CPU and finding Jimmy and Lois sleeping the house. When Clark found her awake, he introduced her to his adoptiveparents before inducting her in the Kent family tradition of catch. Adopting the moniker of "Supergirl", Kara gave an exclusive interview to Vicki Vale and aided in the reconstruction of Cadmus. Happily settled into life on Earth, Kara and Kal responded to a fire at Perez Plaza, the cousins being roped into taking Jimmy and Lois with them.[3]
Kara is a fair-skinned young woman with a rather petite yet lean and toned figure with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is considered very pretty as noted when Jimmy falls for her at first sight. 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 her first fight with her cousin, Superman managed to shatter the armor's outer-layers, leaving Kara only in a skin-tight black suit 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, while she was looking for Clark, Kara wears a black vest with their family's crest on the left side over a white shirt, blue pants and black flats. In this outfit, her armor collapsed itself into a bracelet she wore on her right wrist, manifesting as a black band with a red jewel.
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 is suddenly altered in its appearance to match that of Superman's, but with a few differences; her red cape appears to come 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[]
Kara imitated by incoming vehicle (offscreen) prepares to a destroy it.
As the Warrior, Kara appears confident when told of Earth's rebellion, dismissing it with the belief that they will conquer it in the end. She has no qualms with worlds burning or citizens screaming, viewing it as a natural part of conquest. She believes all Kryptonians should be warriors, which is why she looks down on Clark's lifestyle, deeming him a joke and a disappointment. Her personality is aggressive, as seen when she attacks Clark without hesitation.
Kara devastated when her memories of the horrible things she did while she was brainwashed returned.
Kara later overcame her brainwashing with the help of her memorabilia. However, this came at a great cost, as she became horrified and traumatized by the acts of genocide and violence she had committed. She realized that Brainiac had lied to her, and that the planets she had destroyed were not part of his empire. This revelation led her to turn against Brainiac, despite her initial reluctance due to their father-daughter relationship. Ultimately, she accepted that he was evil and fought him without hesitation. Riddled with guilt, Kara found the strength to move forward only through the encouragement of her true family and loved ones.
Kara blushing when asked about her feelings towards Jimmy.
Upon arriving on Earth to look for Clark, Kara was visibly confused and fascinated by the planet. She didn't understand Earth's machinery, preparing to punch a truck that was heading toward her. She also seems a bit naïve when it comes to Earth's customs. When Jimmy told her he was a division leader at the Daily Planet, she misunderstood, believing his last name was "Flamebird" and that he was the leader of the entire planet. Kara also had trouble understanding hyperbole, slang, or idioms. For instance, when Clark teased her about having a "crush" on Jimmy, she seriously responded that she didn't want to crush him, but rather to conquer his planet.
Kara's love of earth food.
Beneath her brainwashed exterior, Kara's true self is curious, compassionate, and conflicted. Her fascination with Earth is particularly evident in her interest in food. In "Most Eligible Superman," she was so excited by the taste of Earth's cuisine that she caused Jimmy to spend nearly a thousand dollars on her. She also showed curiosity about her homeworld's fruit in "The Machine Who Would Be Empire."
Supergirl feels happy after achieving victory and gaining peace.

Abilities[]
Master Combatant: Supergirl proves to be much more formidable than her cousin in battle.

This allowed her to defeat Superman with greater ease as her inexperienced cousin couldn't fight back properly.
Infiltration: Kara disguised herself as an Earthling in order to search for her cousin, and not to arouse suspicion from the humans.

Piloting Skills: Kara is able to pilot her personal spaceship.
Weaknesses[]
Kryptonite: In "Pierce the Heavens, Superman!", Supergirl was struck by ray of Kryptonite energy used by Brainiac, alongside her cousin, that surely weakened her and caused her extreme pain.
Red Solar Radiation: Like with Superman, red solar energy robs Supergirl of her Kryptonian powers and renders her as weak as a human being.
Brainwashing: Kara was weak to mind control as showcased by Brainiac easily brainwashing her and blocking her memories and replacing them with false ones. This brainwashing can resurface anytime when she feels any negative emotions, such as Superman brushing her off, as well as straying too far from Brainiac's ideal as shown when she visited Thanagar and during the hologram of old Krypton. When in this state, Kara becomes cold, ruthless, violent, short tempered, and sometimes emotionless, with an oddly hollow voice, as if Brainiac is speaking through her, while her eyes take on an eerie dulled silver look. Twisting her personality and suppressing her true self. Thanks to the kindness from her cousin and the memorabilia she collected from other worlds to remember every terrible thing Brianiac made her do. After Kara felt the love, compassion, and encouragement from Kal-El and her new earth friends, she finally broke free of her programming.
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder): Despite being freed from Brainiac's mind control, Kara suffers immense trauma and guilt from what she did to the planets Brainiac attempted to subjugate and the pain she inflicted on others, including her cousin, even though it was Brainiac to blame because he was controlling her mind. In the San Diego Comic Con event, it is said that she'll heal from this trauma in Season 3.
Auditory Sensitivity: Supergirl's super hearing also seems to be sensitive, as she hates loud noises.
Supergirl Suit: Kara had a set of Kryptonian Armor. She initially manifested it as a menacing, heavily armored appearance before she had it mimic the style of her cousin's Superman Suit, but a little more feminine following her overcoming of Brainiac's brainwashing.
Heat Vision Augmentation: (formerly) Parts of the suit can break off and focus on Kara's face like a magnifying lens, enhancing her heat vision to the point where it overwhelms Superman's own heat vision and can cause greater amounts of destruction than what her unaugmented heat vision is capable of.
Voice Changer: (formerly) At the end of "Hearts of the Fathers" Kara used this feature when speaking to Brainiac.
Suit Configuration: (formerly) Kara broke off the left shoulder spike of her suit when it was bigger than the right one.
Crystalline Container: (formerly) Kara used this feature to encase Superman and deliver him aboard her ship.
Brainiac System: (formerly) Kara has a built-in communicator that works long-range with Brainiac himself.
Space Helmet: (formerly) Kara's suit could form a helmet around her face, but it was used once to play a practical joke on Clark.
Holographic Projection: (formerly) Kara pulled up a holographic screen on her suit's wrist com and browsed through Kandor's layout.
Vehicles[]
Spaceship: (formerly) During her service to Brainiac, Kara used what appeared to be a standard Kryptonian warship to traverse the galaxy. When she managed to overcome Brainiac's suppression of her memories, this ship was left behind on Thanagar.
Facilities[]
Krypton: (formerly) Like her cousin Kal-El, Kara lived on Krypton as an infant and was sent away by her father before the planet's destruction.
Kandor: (formerly) Kara grew up and was raised on a space station.
Earth: Kara went to Earth to locate Kal-El, but secretly to scout out gaps and weaknesses for invasion. Once Kara realized that Brainiac was a genocidal tyrant who mind-controlled her against her will, she defied him and defended the planet alongside her cousin.
The Kara Zor-El 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.
This version of Kara also combines elements of General Dru-Zod (a black clad surviving warrior of Krypton), the Eradicator (a warrior dedicated to wiping out other worlds to preserve the purity of Krypton) and Power Girl/Kara Zor-L (being raised by a Kryptonian AI, being the same age as Superman and her cropped hairstyle rather than Supergirl's usual long hair).
Her tenure as a brainwashed servant of Brainiac is potentially a reference to the 2004 storyline "The Supergirl from Krypton" where she was brainwashed by Granny Goodness into a servant of Darkseid.
Her character arc is similar to Adora/She-Ra from Masters of the Universe; a female relative of the main hero who was raised and controlled by the main antagonist, but realized the truth which led to her redemption into becoming a hero. Though Kara is Clark's cousin whereas Adora/She-Ra was Adam/He-Man's sister.
The inspiration of Supergirl's civilian design.
Her civilian clothing seen during Season 2 was designed by the animators to resemble that of Android 18's second outfit from Dragon Ball Z during the Android Saga.
Unlike 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.
This version of Kara is the same age as her cousin, as opposed to most versions being biologically younger than him, either due to being born following Krypton's destruction (pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths) or being chronologically older but only emerging from suspended animation after he had grown to adulthood (the backstory established in Superman: The Animated Series and applied to most subsequent adaptations of the character, even the post-Crisis variant introduced in mainline comics in 2004).
Atypically, Kara pronounces Superman's name as "Ka-lEl", blurring any distinction between syllables, as opposed to her pronouncing her late father's name by the more typical "Zor-El". She refers to him as "Clark" only three times in Season 2, at the very end of The Machine Who Would Be Empire, when she reaches the command centre in The Death of Clark Kent, and when she discovers that the yellow sun gives her and Clark their powers in My Adventures with Supergirl.
