Synopsis
Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret
on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she
was always meant to be. Thirteen-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton
with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised
on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her
foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with
her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 25, Kara
lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant, who
just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen, as her new art
director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank
Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to
help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats.
Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her
very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to
fight crime.[src]
