Kara Danvers

*"I've been driven by this idea that people need to be rescued. That it was my job, my mission... to save them. I've believed it was my calling to be... Earth's hero. It's just so clear to me now. We don't need to be heroes. We need to be partners. And we need to actively empower every single person to be the hero of their own life."*
―Supergirl[src]**Kara Danvers** (born **Kara Zor-El**) is the daughter of Zor-El and Alura. Kara is also the cousin of Clark Kent, the adopted daughter of Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, the adopted sister of Alex Danvers, and the ex-girlfriend/friend of James Olsen and Mon-El. She is also a mentee of J'onn J'onzz and a member of The League. She was the personal assistant of Cat Grant at CatCo Worldwide Media until being promoted to a reporter for CatCo Magazine. Following her return to the company after a temporary leave, she became the new editor-in-chief of CatCo Worldwide Media.

Kara was sent to Earth from the dying planet of Krypton to protect her younger cousin, Kal-El. But her pod got knocked off-course by Krypton's explosion, sending her ship into the Phantom Zone; where she slept for 24 years, while being suspended in time and not aging. Her pod later escaped, and Kara arrived on Earth, where she was placed with the Danvers family by a now-adult Kal-El, who was known to the humans as "Clark Kent". She decided to move to National City with Alex and have a normal life, being Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo.

Kara was forced to reveal herself to save a crashing airplane that Alex was on. She was nicknamed **Supergirl** by Cat Grant, and stylized as the "**Girl of Steel**", the "**Maiden of Might**", and the "**Last Daughter of Krypton**". Kara was recruited by the D.E.O., a secret agency Alex works for. She helps the D.E.O. chase down a number of alien criminals that Kara inadvertently helped escaped the Phantom Zone, and later threats that include Project Cadmus, Daxamite invaders, Worldkillers, Agent Liberty and Lex Luthor.

After Red Daughter attacked the White House pretending to be Supergirl, Kara was forced to hide in her civilian persona; until her name was cleared. She was nearly killed by a misled Red Daughter, but seeped solar radiation from the flora around her; allowing her to heal. Kara later merged with a dying Red Daughter, gaining new strength that allowed her to subdue the empowered Lex.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Kara was revealed to be the **Paragon of Hope**. She was one of the only surviving individuals from Earth-38 after the destruction of the Multiverse in the Anti-Monitor Crisis. However, thanks to Oliver's sacrifice, she and the other Paragons were able to defeat the Anti-Monitor after Earth-Prime was created.

On Earth-Prime, Kara had to battle the threat of a returned Lex who poisoned her friendship with Lena, along with Leviathan, who sought to conquer the world via technology. After Leviathan's defeat, Kara was sent to the Phantom Zone when she was blasted by the Phantom Zone projector by Lex Luthor. In the Zone, she found the Phantoms, but she was saved with the help of the imp Nyxlygsptlnz and her father Zor-El, who she found out was alive. After a while, they were released by the Superfriends.

After returning to Earth, Kara and the Superfriends raced Nyxly for control of the seven AllStone Totems. After the race for the totems kept her from showing up for work several times, she resigned from CatCo, deciding to become a full-time superhero. Following the banishment of Nyxly and Lex Luthor to the Phantom Zone, Kara came out as Supergirl during an interview with Cat Grant and rejoined CatCo as the new Editor-in-chief, following Cat buying the company back from Andrea Rojas.
