Welcome to my Supergirl fanpage!! This character is just the coolest thing to ever exist, even being as weirdly convoluted as she is. I am primarily a Kara Zor-El girlie and am obsessed with Kara as Super and Powergirl. But, all ladies with the 'S' to take the title are cool as hell!
In summary, Kara Zor-El is Kal-El's cousin who escaped Krypton typically as a tween and thus actually remembers the planet. Plenty of her backstories have her suspended in the void and kept from aging until she reaches Earth, and that's why Supes is older than her despite her literally changing her diapers. I prefer space odysessy backstories but whatever if I wanted to read good comics I'd head over to image or Boom!. This is the Supergirl we see in her first/early appearences and the famous TV show.
Powergirl is a Kara from another, collapsed reality who escaped into a new one. Two mass extinction events and counting! Love that for her.
Mae Kent is a photomatic shapeshifter who had a toxic relationship with Lex Luthor in the 90's and perhaps the best Supergirl costume. Skirt + big hair is just so superior. She became Clark for a while, and then Linda Danvers? Shapeshifting things :3
Then we also have Cir-El/Mia Kent, a future Supergirl. Linda Lee Danvers was also a thing. Lana Lang too. Oh and Kara In-Ze. And they're all queer as hell.
Most of the fanstuff you'll see as you scroll is Kara! The comics below (so far) include Kara's first appearence, yet another alternate universe Supergirl, and two Mae comics! I aim to cram as many archived comics here as I can, and hopefully get in the movie and maybe one of the shows she appears in eventually.
For most people, the story of their lives starts with their birth. Or, perhaps their conception, maybe the first contact between their parents. Kara Zor-El has never been that lucky. Her story starts - and has always started - in an escape pod. There is no other version of this story. Her mother, whose final kiss on her cheek continues to burn, is dust. Her father, her city, her world. everyone she’s ever known or was ever going to meet. It’s all gone. Rendered back into the atoms whence they came.
