**Kara Zor-El** is a character in the Arrowverse and the titular protagonist of its third installment, *Supergirl*.

## History

Kara was sent out to Earth to look after her infant cousin Kal-El. Krypton's destruction sent a shock wave that knocked her pod off course and into the Phantom Zone for twenty-four years. When she arrived, Kara was adopted by the Danvers, and by the time she reached adulthood, was working at CatCo Worldwide Media as the CEO's secretary. After saving a plane that was carrying Alex, she was soon recognized as National City's protector, dubbed **Supergirl** by Cat Grant, as well as being called the "Girl of Steel" and the "Last Daughter of Krypton." She has become one of the world's greatest heroes, revered for her kindness and will to help others.

She is the leader of the Superfriends, a member of the Crisis team, and an ally to the Legion, the Bat Team, the disbanded Team Arrow, Team Flash and the Legends Of Tomorrow.

## Analysis

* Even as a child, Kara was a hero.
	+ At twelve years old, she saved a woman and her infant child when they suffered from a car accident.
	+ She only wanted to become a hero like her cousin, Kal-El despite everyone telling her "no" in order to help others. However, she was still at a young age and her adoptive parents wanted Kara to have a normal life.
* As she grew older, Kara accepted Earth as her home planet and chose to live the life of a normal person. However, even before she became a hero, Kara always had the fight in her, often pointing out that she has the same powers as Clark does. However, Kara doesn't let this define her as a hero, but rather the fact for what she stands for.
* She initially had a cold relationship with her sister, Alex, who initially blamed her for her dad's disappearance. However, the girls bonded after solving their mutual friend, Kenny Li's murder and Alex was downgraded. Despite the distance, Kara still remained in close contact with Clark, often emailing him and visiting each other once in a while.

## Powers and abilities

* **Kryptonian Physiology:** Kara Zor-El is one of the most powerful beings in the entire multiverse who originated from a race that lived on the planet, Krypton. She became a resourceful hero, using both her powers and her strong will. However, like all Kryptonains, Kara has no powers when living on Krypton or coming to Argo City because both locations absorbed the solar energy of a red star. The same principals are relied upon when Kara is exposed to the energy of a blue star, which will render her powerless like a red sun. Instead, Kara relied on the average abilities of comparable with that of a human. However, when she is living on Earth or in the proximity of a yellow sun or at least, the equivalent of yellow solar energy, Kara is granted superpowers. The only weapon capable of harming her is kryptonite, a radioactive rock found on Kara's homeworld.
	+ **Solar energy absorption**: When under the effects of a yellow sun, Kara gains immeasurable powers and incredible strength. However, Kara can lose her powers if she exhausts her power. After her fight with the Red Tornado, Kara lost most of her powers due to her exhaustion fighting the robot. According to Harry Wells, if Kara or any other Kryptonian takes in excessive amounts of solar energy, then it would act like a cancer and eventually kill her. This is precisely what happened with Kara's Earth-X counterpart, who exhausted herself with too much solar radiation intake. After her battle with Red Daughter, she is shown to be able to take the solar energy out of plants to recharge herself.
		- **Accelerated healing factor:** Due to Kara's metabolism being tremendously enhanced, she is able to heal faster than a normal humans. However, like Barry Allen, Kara burns calories at a superhuman rate, making her immune to obesity. She healed after being struck by an alien war hammer.

According to Cat, Kara never gets sick, which is why she was surprised that Kara sneezed and was sick for an entire day. When she was facing Pestilence, the world killer's virus wasn't effective on Kara until she was scratched on her arms and face by the Worldkiller multiple times

			* **Enhanced hearing:** Kara can hear sounds from a mile away. During her first time at school, Kara inactively used this power when she could hear every student's conversations with their friends. It was very difficult for her at first, but Kara managed to master this power if she focused on one single sound. By the time she was an adult, Kara managed to master the power by focusing on a specific sound. When she is supergirl, Kara often listens in on other people's conversations to see which one poses as a threat. She also used this power in order to hear for Alex's voice, which is how she was able to rescue her sister from a corrupted sheriff and later, Kara's aunt Astra. However, if exposed to sound dampening technoloy, Kara feels pain and the screams of Silver Banshee emitted a sound sou loud that it caused Kara's ears to bleed.
			* **Enhanced Vision:** Kara's vision has been enhanced greater than that of a normal human and first manifested when Kara was starting school on Earth. She was overwhelmed with her new surroundings and started seeing the other students' skeletons and overhearing everyone with her enhanced hearing. To make things easier for her, Jeremiah gave Kara lead-lined glasses so that way she would not be overwhelmed by her X-ray vision.
				+ **Heat Vision:** Kara can emit beams of heat from her eyes, which she normally uses to burn things in place.
				+ Microscopic vision: Kara is able to see microscopic objects or people. She can also see people from miles away and uses this to catch criminals or save a life.
