Supergirl

Supergirl is the superhero cousin of Superman.

Background Information
Kara Zor-El was the last survivor of Argo City of the planet Krypton, which had survived the explosion of the planet and had drifted through space. When the inhabitants of the colony are slain by Kryptonite, Kara is sent to Earth by her father Zor-El to be raised by her cousin Kal-El, known as Superman. Fearing that she might not be recognized by Superman, Kara's parents provide a costume based on the Man of Steel's own.

On Earth, Kara acquires super-powers identical to Superman's and adopts the secret identity of Linda Lee, an orphan at Midvale Orphanage. She conceals her blonde hair beneath a brunette wig and functions as Supergirl only in secret, at Superman's request, until she can gain (in his opinion) sufficient control of her powers. After being adopted by Fred and Edna Danvers, Superman decides his cousin is ready to begin operating openly as Supergirl.

In her secret identity, Linda attends Midvale High School as Linda Lee Danvers. In later years, after graduating from Stanhope College, she changes careers several times, holding jobs in student counseling, news reporting, and acting in a TV soap opera titled Secret Hearts. She also attends college in Chicago. Kara has many boyfriends, including Richard (Dick) Malverne, Jerro the merboy from Atlantis, and member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Brainiac 5. She does, however, shun serious commitments, putting her super-career first.

 * Although Supergirl is invulnerable to nearly everything, under the yellow Sun, Kryptonite is the one substance that can destroy her.
 * Green Kryptonite renders Supergirl physically weak and painfully ill.
 * Red Kryptonite has effects on Supergirl that are unpredictable.
 * Blue Kryptonite has a strange healing effect
 * Gold Kryptonite is capable of removing a Kryptonian's super powers permanently.
 * Many forms of magic can also hurt Supergirl, since those forms of magic are as powerful or more powerful than she is.
 * Also, if Supergirl was to travel to an alien world with a red Sun, she would lose his powers, and therefore be as vulnerable as any other human. Red solar radiation can be synthesized as well.
