Kara Zor-El came to Earth when she was 12 years old, because her home planet Krypton was destroyed. While on route to Earth, Kara’s pod was knocked into the Phantom Zone.

After getting to Earth, Kara was adopted by the Danvers family. Kara hides her powers, because the world already had Superman. She had to reveal her powers when her sister was in danger.

After Kara saves the plane that her sister Alex was on she became Supergirl. To maintain her secret identity Kara worked for Cat Co. Worldwide Media. Cat Co. was the media platform who named her Supergirl.

Supergirl and Superman are cousins. Kara teams up with several other DC heroes to save the multiverse. Supergirl is part of the DC Arrowverse that is on the CW. You can stream all of the Arrowverse shows on Netflix or HBO Max.
