* In Supergirl vol 4 #79, Rebel tries to harass Kara after trying to kill her and Linda Danvers. Supergirl proceeds to tell him that he is a pathetic, insignificant nuisance with delusions of grandeur and she is a very busy and very angry PhysicalGod. He runs away.
-->'''Rebel:''' So whattaya say we just finish this off with one final dance?\\
'''Supergirl:''' Don't you get it, Rebel? You're not '''important'''! You '''never''' were! You were just -- something to '''do'''! Something for Supergirl and me to bounce off of for a while until people and events of '''real consequence''' came along! Look -- Here's the problem. You've done some bad things, but I'm really, really upset right now. So much so that, honestly, I don't trust myself. And if you attack me or I attack you... I will '''hurt''' you. I'll hurt you worse than you've ever been hurt in your whole life. I can carve you up as soon as look at you. I can break you, boil you, freeze you. I can do things you can't '''imagine'''. Things '''I''' can't imagine, until I have to. And then I'll improvise. Part of me is hoping you '''will''' attack. And part of me is praying -- for your sake, and my '''own''' peace of mind -- that you don't. It's up to '''you'''.\\
'''Rebel:''' You doing that? Causing a storm to roll in?\\
'''Supergirl:''' Maybe.

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.

I really hate you, you know that?" in a completely deadpan tone and punches him across a valley. She ''really'' got over him.

From that moment, I knew I had found my "Missing Half". I knew we would be together. And then you left... I couldn't eat. Sleep. Think. I knew that my true destiny wasn't with Darkseid and his stupid plans... So I followed you across the universe. I watched you try so hard to fit in, to find your way. All I wanted to do was hold you. Tell you how beautiful you were. But I knew you weren't ready to hear it... Sometimes we have to fall all the way down before someone can lift us up. You could be something so special, Kara...
