Supergirl (DC Super Hero Girls 2019)

Kara Zor-El (also known as Kara Danvers as her civilian name and as the superheroine Supergirl) is one of the titular main protagonists of Cartoon Network's reboot of DC Super Hero Girls.
She was born on Krypton, a planet that exploded. She attends as a member of the Super Hero Girls and is a student at Metropolis High School. She is Superman's cousin, Zor-El and Alura's daughter and Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers' adoptive daughter. 
She is voiced by Nicole Sullivan in English, who also voiced Mira Nova in Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command, Marlene the Otter in The Penguins of Madagascar, Franny Robinson in Meet the Robinsons, Shego from Kim Possible, Drew Saturday in The Secret Saturdays, and Megumi Han in Japanese.
==Background==
Supergirl was born as Kara on the planet Krypton, and she is a cousin to Superman. With a group of Kryptonians, Kara escaped to and settled in Argo city, and she was soon discovered by Superman and began training with him.
== Personality ==
Supergirl is the muscle of the group, a rebel, and is known as the "cool kid" in school. She's tomboyish, brash, boisterous, macho, and very hot-headed. She may be tough, but she is a kind woman who will sometimes stand up for the little guy and can easily express her emotions. She can be an outgoing friend and a helpful one, but she was jealous sometimes and she disliked her cousin's accomplishments until she was told that she was better than him because of her friends and will. Additionally, the loss of her family and home planet may have something to do with her attitude. She can be a bit mischievous such as in "Soul Sisters," where she drew on Catwoman's face and messed up Star Sapphire's hair. She has been shown to have a passion for metal and can often be seen rocking out in Lazarus Pit.
== Appearance ==
Kara is an attractive, fair-skinned teenage Kryptonian with a muscular yet curvaceous figure and short blonde hair with paler-colored streaks, cut into a messily-styled bob cut with an undercut on the back. Her eyebrows are a dark brown, and she also sports pale blue eyes and maroon lips. She is the second tallest after Diana.
As a civilian, Kara wears a blue-gray tank top under a high-collared old-navy leather jacket with pale dust-blue stripes located on the front and each of its mid-quarter sleeves. Around her waist is a pale yellow belt with an outline of the House of El as the buckle, which holds up her set of torn reddish-brown jeans. She also wore rather large, dark muddy-red calf-length laced boots for footwear.
As Supergirl, her superhero costume is that of the dark-colored version of her cousin Superman's suit; she wears a tightly-fitted, mid-quarter-sleeved blue-gray shirt with the House of El symbol on the chest area, a tailbone-length maroon cape attached at the back, and similarly-colored knee-high boots with the top colored in white. Lastly, what stands out is that she sports a short maroon skirt with thick pale yellow trimming around the waist (although this is most likely a V-shaped belt).
== Powers ==
* Kryptonian Physiology: A native of the planet Krypton, Supergirl possesses all the abilities of the average Kryptonian.
** Superhuman Strength: Supergirl is without a doubt the strongest member of the Super Hero Girls, serving as their muscle. She can lift heavy objects with little effort and add her strength to her physical attacks, even sending enemies flying into space.
** Superhuman Durability: Supergirl can withstand extremely powerful attacks without significant injury and is bulletproof.
** Superhuman Speed: Supergirl is incredibly fast, and capable of moving at supersonic speeds.
** Super Breath: Supergirl can create gale forces by exhaling air from her lungs. She can also use this to freeze her foes in place.
** Super Hearing: Supergirl can hear sounds from a very far distance.
** Flight: Supergirl can fly through the air at supersonic speeds.
** Heat Vision: One of Supergirl's famous abilities. She can fire beams of heat from her eyes at varying intensities.
*** Super Flare: Arguably Supergirl's most powerful ability, the strongest variation of her heat vision. She concentrates all of the solar energy in her body and unleashes it in one powerful blast. However, the use of it is costly as it leaves her feeling drained from her powers for a certain amount of time.
** X-ray Vision: Supergirl can see through solid objects to see what's inside. However, her X-ray vision cannot see through lead.
== Weaknesses ==
* Kryptonite: Kryptonite is a radioactive meteor rock that remains of Krypton after its destruction; because of this, it is one of the Kryptonians' greatest weaknesses. Each form of Kryptonite has a different effect on her.
** Green Kryptonite: Weakens a Kryptonian and nullifies their powers, making them feel pain.
** Red Kryptonite: Has unpredictable effects on Kryptonians that vary from excessive hair growth, moodiness, transformation into ant-headed humanoids, susceptibility to mind control, mild acne, and other effects.
** Periwinkle Kryptonite: Makes kryptonians act giddy.
** Gold Kryptonite: Temporarily strips a person of their powers until they absorb enough solar energy.
** Electricity Immunity Limit: Can be incapacitated by sufficient electricity, such as what's generated by Livewire.
** Blue Kryptonite: to be added.
** Pink Kryptonite: to be added.
* Durability Limit: Supergirl has a durability limit, as shown when Giganta badly stunned her by slamming her to the ground multiple times, General Zod injured her with a single hit, or when Livewire dazed her with a blast of electricity.
* Magic: To Be Added.
==History==
=== Early Life ===
Kara Zor-El was born on Krypton as the younger cousin of Clark Kent and the daughter of Zor-El and Alura Zor-El. However, in her youth, Ursa, Non, and General Zod, had been locked away by Supergirl's mother before Krypton's ultimate destruction. Before the planet was destroyed, Kara and Kal were saved. While she was sent to look after Kal-El, as she and her cousin's home planet exploded, Kara's ship was knocked off course. She spent years in suspended animation before finally making it to the planet Earth. However, when Kara arrived, she saw her cousin had become the superhero known as Superman. She often got annoyed being compared to her cousin, who was one of the world's beloved heroes. Kara was later adopted by Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers and moved to Metropolis.
=== DC Super Hero Girls (2019)===
Kara first appeared when she was walking out of the car after her adoptive parents dropped her off at school.
She is later seen at lunchtime, where Kara begins to bully Karen, (unaware that Barbara was the one who began the fight) as everyone gets in a food fight with the entire school, until it gets into a big mess, causing Barbara and the other four girls to get busted by the principal of the school and going to detention for the day.
After the girls helped Diana wear a casual outfit like a normal teenager, they met on a rooftop before training began. Jessica introduced herself, and with her power ring that was given by Hal Jordan, she became the new Green Lantern. Barbara then introduced herself and became Batgirl, though Diana pointed out that she lacked focus. Zee Zatara is next and she becomes Zatanna to show Diana some magic tricks, although Diana didn't like the costume she was wearing right now before Zatanna changed it to a new costume with a cape. Then, while introducing and shrinking herself with her gadget, Karen was feeling discouraged that she couldn't do anything right until Diana comforted her and called her by a superhero name "Bumblebee". Lastly, Kara still doesn't like using her powers which will get her into trouble, so Diana throws Barbara off the rooftop, forcing Kara to become Supergirl and save Barbara from falling. Barbara was impressed by the way she had done. Afterward, the training finally begins, in the junkyard, where Diana teaches the girls how to save "men" from danger, even though there are only female mannequins. During a training montage, the girls all train to save the mannequins, but they all fail. Meanwhile, Diana still doesn't understand how to become a normal teenager after going to the comic store, a spa, and a movie theatre. However, the girls go to a carnival at a pier and they all have fun. Elsewhere at Lex Corp, someone has activated the robots to demolish places such as the comic store, a spa, and a movie theatre.
The girls go to one last place before calling it a day: Sweet Justice, owned by Barry Allen. Diana tries eating ice cream, and she suddenly likes it so much she eats the other desserts from the other girls. But, the robots break in and give the civilians an eviction notice before they start demolishing Sweet Justice. At first, the girls hesitate due to the law, but when a robot heads to the innocent civilians, Wonder Woman destroys one of the robots and the superhero girls begin fighting the other robots to save Sweet Justice. However, their teamwork doesn't last long, and their recklessness accidentally destroys Sweet Justice. While the girls argue about their failures, Batgirl figures out that the robots and the virtual reality specs were all made by Lex Luthor. Unfortunately, the girls don't believe that it was Lex who is responsible for the destruction, and in the process, Karen Beecher, Zee Zatara, Jessica Cruz, and Kara Danvers quit being superheroes and they all went their separate ways. As for Diana Prince, she is caught by her mother, Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, who reveals that Diana lied by escaping her home and disobeyed her mother, so her mother drags Diana by her ear to an Amazon ship to go back to Themyscira. After going back home, Barbara becomes hopelessly sad, even after receiving a call from Harleen Quinzel in Gotham City, noticing that both Barbara and Harleen miss each other. However, Barbara is not giving up. She contacts the other girls to convince them to save Diana from being taken back to Themyscira, knowing that Diana was the one who made them not only superheroes but friends as well.
The girls then sneak onto the Amazon ship to free Diana, but they are all caught by the amazons and begin to fight them while apologizing and convincing Diana to come back with them, Supergirl says Wonder Woman is the true greatest hero, and it warmed Diana's heart. After that, Diana stop feeling blue, and stands up to her mother, telling her she passed the test and its law. Her mother accepts it, and Diana leaves the ship with her friends squealing as they head to the carnival at the pier. However, they witness the robots from LexCorp about to demolish the carnival. Suddenly, a giant war suit shows up, and as a voice is heard, Batgirl says she knew it was Lex all along. However, it turns out it isn't Lex piloting the war suit, it's none other than Lena Luthor, Lex's little sister. Lena hates teenagers so much, especially Lex, so she came up with an evil plan: She reprogrammed his virtual reality specs and commanded the demolition robots to destroy every single fun place in Metropolis, and with all the teenagers distracted by a sneezing puppy while wearing the VR specs, Lena and all of the children will rule Metropolis, in which Supergirl finds Lena's plan dumb. After that, the fight between the superhero girls and Lena begins. However, the girls still can't stop all of the robots from destroying the pier, so to stop the demolition, they realize they must shut down Lena's war suit from the inside. While Zatanna, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl distract Lena, Bumblebee goes inside Lena's war suit to connect the cable to the motherboard. Green Lantern then helps Batgirl get closer to Lena's war suit so Batgirl can connect the other end of the cable to an amp. But, Lena breaks free and flies up to destroy the pier. However, Supergirl starts playing the guitar, and the sound is so loud it goes straight through the amp and conducts electricity through the cable and Bumblebee as she uses her gadget arm to connect to the motherboard since the cable didn't reach it. Lena's war suit finally shuts down, as well as the other robots and her reprogrammed VR specs, freeing all of the teenagers. The girls congratulate Bumblebee on her courage, Lena is taken away by her parents and Lex, who stares suspiciously at the girls. A crowd of spectators gathers around the girls and cheers for them. Three months later, Sweet Justice is reopened and the girls celebrate with their desserts. However, Barbara shows her friends something new below their table: The new secret base made especially for them. Their days as superheroes have only just begun.
