Power Girl

*This page is about an alternate version of Kara Zor-El. For other alternate versions, here is the Disambiguation Page*

**Kara Zor-L** is the name of a Kryptonian hailing from the late planet of Krypton. This version of Kara however hails from a now non-existent universe and goes by the name of **Power Girl**.

## **Origins**

Kara Zor-L was born on the late planet of Krypton, but from the parallel universe of Earth-2. Due to the impending doom that would befall their planet, brothers Jor-L and Zor-L pooled their skills into making vessels for their people to evacuate upon. This however was stopped by the Kryptonian Council, as they refused to believe in such a thing. As a result, both brothers planned on building ships for their own families. Upon the day of Krypton's destruction however, the ships they had already built were big enough for only one occupant. As a result, they sent their children, both infants at the time, Kal-L and Kara Zor-L to Earth.

Where as Kal-L's ship had a means of getting to Earth faster, Kara's ship was built with a stasis device, giving her an education of everything Krypton had learned. The stasis also slowed her aging process, but this was also mostly due to the fact that the ship she was sent in was far slower. When she finally made her way to Earth, 60 years had passed and by that time, she found her cousin had grown up, married Lois Lane and led a career as Superman. Following her arrival, Kal and Lois had taken in Kara as a daughter and kept her arrival a secret, while also giving her an environment to adjust to Earth customs.

During her first act of heroism, Kara decided to distance herself from the mantle of Superman, calling herself Power Girl instead.

## ***Superwoman: The Series (Redux)***

### Season 1

During Janice's training at the Fortress Of Solitude, Power Girl sparred with the exobyte-enhanced human, demonstrating more challenging attacks towards her, which didn't deter her. She would later be in the city of Metropolis, particularly Metropolis State University, where she was protecting students from the likes of Parasite. She was behind a forcefield, which was eventually taken down with the aid of Lady Sinister and an army of students turned into parasitic minions. Power Girl then engaged the minions and Parasite, however ended up defeated and too weak to continue, giving Lady Sinister enough time to obtain a blood sample from the Kryptonian.
