He first met her when she was a child and struggled fitting in on Earth. Taking the form of her mother, Alura and later, FBI agent, J'onn convinced her she had to maintain her heritage as a Kryptonian for her family. The two formally met years later, when she had grown up to become the superhero Supergirl. To maintain his secret identity, J'onn posed as Hank Henshaw, a very cold, and distant man who apparently enjoyed bringing Kara down. In reality, J'onn was demeaning towards her but this would only pushed her to become a better vigilante. However, Kara would grow frustrated with Hank's constant attitude towards her. In truth, he was a refugee and the last of his kind, just like Kara and her cousin Superman. While he revealed his true nature to Alex, they kept it a secret from Kara, thinking it was for the best. However, they were forced to reveal the truth about John's secret and Jeremiah's sacrifice when Astra's spend and their forces abducted him. When Alex was forced to kill Astra because she was attacking J'onn, the Martian refugee lied to Kara and claimed he killed Astra to stop Alex and Kara's relationship from detering. This caused Kara and J'onn to grow further apart because she thought he was responsible for her aunt's death. However, when the truth came out, Kara understood her sister's and J'onn 's reasons. She grabbed his hand as she comforted Alex as J'onn was leaving, showing she forgave him. Instead, when she hugged her sister and saw Clark accused J'onn of not caring what happens to his cousin, J'onn lashed out, showing his care for her was always genuine.

During Season 6, he grew frustrated that they couldn't save Kara from the Phantom Zone. However, M'gann M'orzz comforted him and acknowledged the father-daughter bond that the two aliens shared with each other. After her rescue, J'onn embraced Kara, with relief that his surrogate daughter's well-being was assured and secured.
