BioReal Name: Kara Zor-El
Alias: Claire Connors
Hero Code Name: Supergirl
Place of Birth: Argo City, Krypton
Known Relatives: Zor-El (father, deceased), Allura In-Ze (mother, deceased), Clark Kent/Kal-El (Superman, cousin), Conner Kent/Kon-El (Superboy, cousin, deceased), Jor-El II (uncle, deceased), Lara Lor-Van (aunt, deceased), Jonathan Kent (adopted uncle), Martha Kent (adopted aunt), Nim-El (uncle, deceased), Dondra Klu-Ta (aunt, deceased), Don-El (cousin, deceased), Jor-El I (paternal grandfather, deceased), Nimda An-Dor (paternal grandmother, deceased), Lar-Van (maternal grandfather, deceased), Lara Rok-Var (maternal grandmother, deceased), Val-El, Sul-El, Tala-El, Hatu-El, Gam-El (ancesters, deceased), Kara Zor-L (Power Girl, alternate universe version of her.)
(Note that Kara calls Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman her foster parents.)
Best Friends: Stargirl, Starfire, Superboy, and Cassandra "Cassie" Sandsmark, aka Wonder Girl.
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 135 lbs (61.23 kg)
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
First Appearance: ACTION COMICS #252 (1959);
(Current incarnation) Superman/Batman #8 (2004); SUPERGIRL Vol. 5 #0 (2005)
Affiliations: Teen Titans, Legion of Super-Heroes, Outsiders, Batman, Power Girl, Team Superman, Themyscira, Wonder Woman
Notable aliases: Supergirl, Flamebird, The Girl of Steel, Maid of Might, Princess of Power, Linda Lee Danvers (pre-Crisis), Claire Connors (New Earth)
Notable powers: Vast super strength, speed & stamina, various extra sensory and vision powers, invulnerability, flight.
Known Powers: Powers are similar to other Kryptonians, such as Superman and Power Girl. Like all Kryptonians under a yellow sun, Kara Zor-El's body stores normal (yellow) sunlight. And yellow solar radiation gives her the following super powers:
Super Intelligence.
Solar Energy Absorption.
Superman level Superhuman strength, and invulnerability.
Superhuman durability, and a protective natural aura.
Superhuman speed and flight.
Enhanced senses, particularly vision; Including x-ray vision, heat vision, infrared vision, electro-magnetic spectrum vision, telescopic vision, and microscopic vision. Super-breath, super-hearing, and super voice. Supergirl is a master ventriloquist. She is also a mimic, able to impersonate human voices or animal sounds.
Continued exposure to a yellow sun would cause the level of her abilities to slowly increase.
Due to experiments performed by her father, she had a small amount of sunstones implanted in her body which seem to appear when she is under red-sun light. Sunstones allow her to maintain her super-powers under the red sun, as well as free those who are possessed by Phantom Zone ghosts.
Kara is also a capable fighter having trained with the amazons. And is also somewhat capable as an actress, or in disguise, since she has so far managed to play the roles of Flamebird, a high school girl, a villainess, an innocent young girl/super fighter, and a biker babe.
Limitations & Weaknesses
Her aura does not protect her from magic-based attacks. Also is weaker or more prone to harm against magical creatures such as vampires & werewolf's.
Being a Kryptonian, Kryptonite has harmful effects on Kara. Green-K will cause Kryptonite poisoning and ultimately death.
Red Kryptonite has an unpredictable affect on Kryptonians. Examples of how Supergirl was affected by Red-K are as follows: changing into an adult Superwoman, splitting into two people, one half being Evil Kara, getting amnesia, and gaining the power to see through lead. However, the affects of exposure are only temporary, and if not fatal, will usually pass within one to 48 hours.
Gold Kryptonite is rare, and fortunately so since it can rob a Kryptonian of their super-powers permanently. Blue Kryptonite has no effect on Supergirl, only on Bizarro imperfect duplicates.
Kryptonians are able to harm each other more easily since they seem to be able to bypass each other's auras.
Supergirl cannot see through lead.
Supergirl would eventually weaken and become powerless without replenishing her energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation. However she has been implanted with Kryptonian sunstones, which allows her to be replenished by red sunlight, which is harmful to other Kryptonians. But would lose her powers under a green sun. And retains powers in an orange-sun system and under a hotter blue-white sun her powers would be increased.
Pre-Crisis History (1958 to 1985)
Kara Zor-El was sent to Earth from the spaceborne Kryptonian Argo City by her parents Zor-El and Allura to escape death by Kryptonite poisoning. Kara's rocket was found on Earth by her cousin, Superman. She posed as orphan Linda Lee, often wearing a brunette wig when not acting as Supergirl. Later, she was adopted by Fred and Edna Danvers, becoming Linda Lee Danvers.
Kara gave her life to save the Universe battling the Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. With her death, she was retconned out of existence.
Post-Crisis History (1986-present)
With nobody remembering any previous Supergirl, a protoplasmic lifeform appeared after the Crisis, asking Superman for help. This new being would later become Supergirl (Linda Danvers), also known as Matrix.
However, it wasn't until about two decades after the Crisis that a girl calling herself Kara Zor-El was sighted on Earth. Kara's ship had become stuck to a piece of the planet Krypton, delaying her arrival. She had been in suspended animation for many years, resulting in her being the same age she was when leaving Krypton. (Kara was 15 years old when she left Krypton, and expected to find her cousin Kal-El to still be a baby when next they met.) Her spaceship crashed in Gothan City harbor, and she was discovered by Batman. Batman helped Kara find her cousin Superman. She was uncertain of herself after finding an older Superman rather than the young Kal-El she was supposed to watch after.
Darkseid attempted to manipulate her and make her turn evil. He brainwashed Kara, which lead her to attacked her own cousin. Superman defeated her and returned her to Earth, where he faked her death so Darkseid would not come looking for her. She then assumed the role of Supergirl.
Due to being on the totally alien world of Earth, she feels out of place, not sure where she really belongs. Kara is also uncomfortable with her cousin's overprotectiveness, and the age difference makes it hard for her to communicate with him. With only the vaguest memory of her past, Kara wanted to figure out who she really was and where she belonged, and thought that the JSA member with a very similar origin to her's could help. Superman had told her that many years back he'd discovered a crashed spacecraft just outside of Gotham, and that a young blonde girl named Kara introduced herself as his cousin from Krypton. So Kara gone to see this other Kara who gone by the name Power Girl. But to her great disappointment she found it difficult to hang out with Power Girl since their powers would go haywire when they touched. Kara quickly realized that her presence was only screwing up Power Girl's life even more than she was her own. Which lead Kara to find kindred spirits with fellow teenagers, such as her other cousin Superboy, Stargirl, and fellow alien Starfire.
Unfortunately, since returning from her terrible ordeal at the hands of Darkseid, Kara has been short-tempered and angry, leading to lots of violent confrontations when meeting other heroes. Luckily her mentors and role models Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman are trying to help her make a new life for herself on Earth.
While with Donna Troy and other heroes helping prevent a coming crisis. In deep space Kara is struck by an altered zeta-beam and disappears.
Kara appears in the 31st century, and is revered as a member of the Superman family. Kara is shocked to find herself in the future so believes that she is "dreaming" the Legion and the 31st century isn't real. Saturn Girl, attempting to learn more about how Kara arrived in their time, scanned Kara's mind and found a particularly vivid memory--that of the zeta-beam accident.
During the "missing year" following Infinite Crisis, Kara returns from space, back to the 21st century, only to find Superboy dead and Superman powerless. She becomes Metropolis' protector along with Booster Gold and Supernova.
One Year (and one month) after Infinite Crisis, for a short time, Kara also assumes the identity of Flamebird to fight crime in the bottle city of Kandor with Power Girl as Nightwing. They oppose a religious cult lead by Ultraman, an evil alternate universe version of Superman. She also believes the key to Argo City, her home town, lies somewhere in the city.
She has formed a very deep friendship with Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark over their mutual loss of Superboy Conner Kent and over the destruction of Paradise Island.
