Description
Supergirl is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The original and most well known Supergirl is Kara Zor El, who was created to be a female counterpart to the superhero Superman. The character made her first appearance in Action Comics 252 (May 1959) and was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino.
As Supermans cousin, Kara Zor El shares his super powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. Supergirl plays a supporting role in various DC Comics publications, including Action Comics, Superman, and several comic book series unrelated to Superman. In 1969, Supergirls adventures became the lead feature in Adventure Comics, and she later starred in an eponymous comic book series which debuted in 1972 and ran until 1974, followed by a second monthly comic book series titled The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl, which ran from 1982 to 1984.
Due to changing editorial policy at DC, Supergirl was initially killed off in the 1985 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths. DC Comics subsequently rebooted the continuity of the DC Comics Universe, re-establishing Supermans character as the sole survivor of Kryptons destruction. Following the conclusion of Crisis on Infinite Earths, several different characters written as having no familial relationship to Superman have assumed the role of Supergirl, including Matrix, Linda Danvers, and Cir-El. Following the cancellation of the third, 1996 2003 Supergirl comic book series, starring the Matrix/Linda Danvers version of the character, a modern version of Kara Zor-El was reintroduced into the DC Comics continuity in issue 8 of the Superman/Batman comic book series titled "The Supergirl from Krypton" (2004). The modern Kara Zor El stars as Supergirl in an eponymous comic book series, in addition to playing a supporting role in various other DC Comics publications.
Since her initial comic book appearances, the character later branched out into animation, film, television, and merchandising. In May 2011, Supergirl placed 94th on IGNs list of the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time. In November 2013, the character placed 17th on IGNs list of the Top 25 Heroes of DC Comics.
