## Biographical information

### Place of birth

Planet Krypton, Roa system, Space Sector 2813

## History

### Early Years

Kara was "born" to Zor-El and Alura In-Ze on the doomed Planet of Krypton in the Rao system of Space Sector 2813. She was shown to have an aptitude for learning very quickly.

### Destruction of Krypton

When she was 14, Kara's father Zor-El and Alura decided to send her off in a spaceship before Krypton's core detonated itself. She was meant to follow her baby cousin Kal-El so Kara could protect him when they landed; unfortunately, when she landed, the time discrepancy allowed her cousin to mature into adulthood and had since taken up the mantle of Superman.

### New Home

When Kara's spacecraft landed in Gotham Bay, it was found by Batman.

### Adulthood

Eventually she is seduced by the king of the nosferatu until she joins their ranks as one of his concubines.

### 30th/31st Century

#### Timeline 1

Kara has served as the Vampyr King's favorite concubine as his Queen for centuries. She enjoys playing with her prey before draining them.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Kryptonian Vampyrism**
	+ **Transmutation:** Kara has the ability to shapeshift into various forms of animal of Krypton.
	+ **Osteokinesis**
	+ **Functionally Immortal**
* **Kryptonian Physiology**: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Supergirl possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption**: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Supergirl's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
	+ **Heat Vision**: Supergirl can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
	+ **Super-Hearing**: Supergirl's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
	+ **Enhanced Vision**: Supergirl's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus. This umbrella ability includes the following:
		- **Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision**: Supergirl can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
		- **Telescopic Vision**: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
		- **X-Ray Vision**: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Supergirls can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived—such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans—is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
		- **Microscopic Vision**: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
		- **Infrared Vision**: Supergirl can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
	+ **Flight**: Supergirl is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
	+ **Invulnerability**: Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Supergirl is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
		- **Enhanced Immunity**
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Supergirl is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Supergirl's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Supergirl is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time. This also confers:
		- **Superhuman Agility**
		- **Superhuman Reflexes**
	+ **Super-Breath**: Supergirl is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
	+ **Longevity**: Supergirl can live longer than regular humans, remaining at her prime as long as she was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.

* **Crystal Generation**: For a while, Supergirl had the ability to sprout sharp crystals from her body. At the beginning, Kryptonite-induced hallucinations led her to believe her father's experiments were her power's origin to grow Sunstones, but after meeting the real Zor-El she was said Kryptonite sickness made her blood crystallize in oxygen. She lost her crystal-generating power after being cured from her illness.
* **Intangibility**: Supergirl was taught by the Flash how to make her molecules slip between the molecules of solid objects by vibrating at sper-speed.
* **Invisibility**: She can also vibrate so fast that light does not reflect off her, rendering her invisible, due to her time studying the Flash.
* **Self-Sustenance**: Supergirl is able to survive out of the boundaries of a planet.
* **Sound Manipulation**: Supergirl is able to modulate her voice to achieve varied effects such like cancel seismic waves out by emitting a supersonic counterfrequency or knock enemies down.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)**: She has been trained by Batman in advanced martial arts and trained with the Amazons on Themyscira in combat and sword fighting. She has trained with Wonder Woman and Artemis extensively. Kara was also trained by her cousin Superman, where she learned to fight and survive without her powers and use strategic thinking while in battle.
	+ **Klurkor**: Kara knows "first level" of Klurkor, a Kryptonian martial art.
	+ **Swordsmanship**
* **Multilingualism**: Supergirl speaks a multiple languages fluently besides her native Kryptonese. She learned English in less then a month, Interlac.
* **Voice Mimicry**:Plus, through precise muscle control, she camc other peoples voices.
* **Genius Level Intellect**: Kryptonians, though otherwise completely human, were superior both intellectually and physically to natives of Earth. Supergirl who lived on Argo City for some time learned much about science and technology. She excels in engineering and has been shown at a young age to be able to reprogram advanced Kryptonian technology, like a robot, with little effort. She is even a member of the Kryptonian Science Council, the ruling body of Krypton.
* **Artistry**: Kara is also artistic and was once approached by the head of the Art Council who wanted to mentor Kara just like he did with her father. She keeps a guitar and a sewing machine in her apartment and she draws and designs new versions of her costume every so often.
	+ **Music**
* **Leadership**: Supergirl became leader of the Legion for a short while after the Dominator War.

### Weaknesses

* **Kryptonian Physiology**: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Supergirl possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
	+ **Vulnerability to Kryptonite**
	+ **Vulnerability to Magic**

## Notes

* This version of Supergirl, including all history and corresponding appearances, is exclusive to the continuity of Earth-One and was initially erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, although some characters such as the late Psycho-Pirate and Power Girl have memories of the Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El. However the ending of Convergence retroactively prevented that collapse, saving all the alternate realities, though in an "evolved" form.
* In the rebooted continuity, Kara Zor-El did not arrive on Earth until some ten/twelve years after the establishment of mainstay heroes such as Superman and Batman. However, this information does not apply to her or other versions that may have since appeared.
