Biography
Early Life
During the destruction of Krypton, a young Kara was sent by her parents to Earth in an escape pod. She was sent to protect her baby cousin, Kal-El, who was sent moments before her. However, her pod was knocked off course and was stuck in the Phantom Zone for years. Later, her pod was reactivated and arrived on Earth, with her cousin already grown up to be Superman. She was then adopted by the Danvers family and was raised in Midvale.
Hope, Help and Compassion for All
In 2015, Kara debuts as Supergirl and became the vigilante of National City. A year later, Kara started to team up with The Flash and fought together.[2]
In 2016, Kara met Lena Luthor for the first time and started a friendship with her. Kara also met Mon-El, a Daxamite who was sent to Earth during the destruction of Krypton due to Daxam's close distance to Krypton.[3]
On February 13, 2017, Mxyzptlk proclaims his love for Kara and was tricked to be banished back to the Fifth Dimension by Kara.[3]
In 2018, Mon-El returned from the future with his Legion and fought with Kara against Reign.[3]
In 2019, Kara and her team fought against Leviathan and thwarted them for several months, only for them to return with Lex Luthor's assistance.[4]
In January 2020, Kara fought against a White Martian and was reported by CatCo Worldwide Media.[1]
Crisis on Infinite Earths
In January 2020, Kara woke up in her loft and nearly shot her sister using her heat vision. She was then confused by the recreation of the Multiverse and Nia Nal called her about the Peace Award Ceremony, reminding her of going to cover the story. She then arrived to the ceremony using her super speed, only to realize her enemy as well as former situational ally, Lex Luthor was the award recipient.[1]
After the ceremony, Kara returned to the D.E.O. Headquarters and found out that in the new world the D.E.O. was part of Luthor Corp. Frustrated by the change and informed by J'onn, Kara left to the pier and fought a Meta-Human criminal known as Weather Witch. As Kara gets shot by her staff, The Flash arrives and defeated Joslyn for the NCPD to arrest her.[1]
The two were then approached by a fan, Marv, who asked them for signatures. They then realized that their respective home universes merged together and they had been working together since early 2016.[1]
Surprised by the new information, Kara and Barry went to Star City to check if Oliver is part of the universe. However, they were informed that even Oliver exists in the new world, his death remains a constant and inevitable. As they mourns, the team was informed that a giant Beebo attacked the city. Kara, Barry and Ray then suited up for the battle and eventually realized that he was in fact a distraction for Sargon the Sorcerer's bank robbery.[1]
Returned to the Bunker for celebration, the team was approached by Nash Wells and found out that the Anti-Monitor is still alive. The field vigilantes then alerted the others in the city and fought against Anti-Monitor. During the fight, Kal was caught in the Anti-Monitor's hand and Kara attempted to speed up midair. Before she could attack, Ray arrived with the Shrinking Bomb and Kara was able to successfully defeat the Anti-Monitor once and for all.[1]
Kara, Alex and Kate then returned to the former's loft for Oliver's moment of silence.[1]
