Kara Zor-El escaped the doomed planet Krypton at the same time as her cousin Kal-El (aka Clark Kent, aka Superman). She had a rockier voyage to Earth and arrived some years later than her famous cousin. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster-family, the Danvers, Kara learns to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. When she chooses to save her foster- sister Alex from an imminent plane crash, Kara finally decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always meant to be. While Kara Danvers works as a reporter for Catco News Agency, her alter-ego Supergirl works to protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats- occasionally teaming up with other heroes such as the Arrow, the Flash and Batwoman to do so. Although primarily aimed at a younger audience, in the last couple of seasons the programme has dealt with some serious themes such as racism, xenophobia and vigilantism.
