* In ''Superman vol 1 #149'' -an imaginary story in which Lex Luthor managed to kill Superman- Supergirl breaks into the Luthor's lair while he and other criminals are celebrating her cousin's death. Several of them shoot her -even though she has just informed them that she is Superman's cousin- and she suggests that they stop wasting bullets. She arrests Luthor and brings him to Kandor where he is banished to the Phantom Zone. With justice served, Kara swears to carry on her cousin's legacy.

* In ''Action Comics #286'', Kara faces up to Comicbook/LexLuthor for first time. Not only she comes out on top but also [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/action_286_31_3.jpg she humiliates Lex]].
* In ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica #134'', Supergirl joins the League to help find a missing Superman.

* In ''Comicbook/WarWorld'', Clark recruits Kara's help to stop Mongul when the alien overlord appropiates Warworld. In an act of utter badassery, Supergirl hurls herself at the planet at incalculable speed, punching through the star-sized weapon and breaking it down, which gave her cousin a chance to blow it up.
* In ''Superman Family'' #183, Supergirl faces Shyla Kor-Onn, a Phantom Zoner who has stolen a fraction of her powers. As brawling in the Fortress of Solitude, Kara lets Shyla hit her, so the backlash throws the woman back into the path of PhantomZone Projector's ray, and she's sent her back in the Phantom Zone.
-->'''Supergirl:''' Luck had nothing to do with it, Shyla... I knew you couldn't control your flying ability yet, so I let you get in that last punch... Then I used Newton's Law of Motion-- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction-- It forced you back into the Projector's ray!
* In ''Superman Family'' #187 Supergirl gets ambushed in deep-space by Klax-Ar, a lunatic who managed to reverse-engineer a ComicBook/{{Superboy}} robot into a vehicle with Kal-El's same abilities, and now wants to steal her Kryptonian powers. Kara remembers she and Superman stopped using robots because Earth's pollution gummed up their circuits, so she lures him to Earth. Once Klax-Ar 's sled starts breaking down, she punches him ''across New York'' and takes him back to a planet prison.
* In ''Superman'' Volume 1 #338, Comicbook/{{Brainiac}} accidentally hits himself with his shrinking ray, and he pleads with Supergirl to save him, but [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SQcs5LyKRiI/AAAAAAAABds/PkQTfwvrabE/s1600-h/superman+338+-08.jpg Supergirl coolly states that the enlarging ray has not enough energy left to save Superman, Kandor and him, so Brainiac is out of luck]].

In [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2011/05/back-issue-box-superman-family-204-and.html a review's words]], you can consider it awesome, funny, dumb or all of it:
-->In a perfect moment of late Silver Age lunacy, Supergirl literally kicks the moon slightly out of its orbit. That is one mighty kick! You either love moments like these for their lunacy or hate them for their stupidity.
* In ''Superman Family'' issue #208 Linda has an argument with New Athens Experimental School administrator Benjamin Pierce, who calls her on the carpet again for keeping odd hours. Linda reminds him that her contract says she makes her own hours and no one has ever complained about her or her performance... but him. The argument escalates until Pierce insults her in public, and she angrily quits, giving Pierce a piece of her mind in the process.
