* Linda Danvers, in order to save the Pre-Crisis Supergirl's life, goes back in time to the Pre-Crisis universe and attempts to bluff Superman into believing she's his cousin. Her attempts to make up a story explaining how she's younger than him but from Krypton are a combination of BlatantLies and EpicFail. Made doubly funny for the ContinuityNod and GeniusBonus of being Supergirl's legitimate Pre-Crisis origins (which just SOUND like an {{Asspull}}) when said aloud). Superman pretends to be fooled, only to point out, years later, her costume is made of cotton and other Earth fabrics plus the fact he could tell she was not Kryptonian at a glance due to the whole super-senses thing.
** It becomes a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when the Pre-Crisis Superman chooses to reveal he fell in love with her anyway.

!!Rebirth:
* In the first issue of the seventh volume, Kara's attempts to fit in are hilarious:
** She doesn't believe that a vehicle fitted with an internal-combustion engine and without a holographic thought interface can be called a car.
** She often seems clumsy or dumb because Earth's customs are very strange and Earth's technology ''primitive''. She struggles with a projector because it might as well be a stone tablet to her eyes. The sad thing is, she was considered a genius back in Krypton.

'''Supergirl''': "I'm sorry, but... Who the hell are you?"\\
'''Pariah''': "I am the space between Scylla and Charybdis. I am the gasp before the Big Bang. I--"\\
'''Supergirl''': "Shut up and make sense!"\\
'''Pariah''': "I--All right."\\
'''Supergirl''': "Now again, ''slowly'', and without the ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' double talk."\\
'''Pariah''': "My name is Kent Massa. I was a scientist once... Until I dared look into the eyes of God and--"\\
'''Supergirl''': (clenching her fist) "I will hurt you."\\
'''Pariah''': "I... Fine."
* When Grace Choi earns a free punch to the Maid of Might's face, only to break her hand.
* When Supergirl and Wondergirl hug, with [[LesYay Kara's arms around Cassie's neck and Cassie's arms around Kara's waist]]. Just as it starts getting good, Ravager (Rose Wilson) [[MomentKiller shoots them with a rocket launcher as a prank]].
-->'''Wondergirl:''' "Thanks. I love you, Kara."\\
'''Supergirl:''' "I love you too." '''BOOM'''
* When Supergirl returns to her apartment, Captain Boomerang Jr. asks how her day was.

* During the third issue, a meteorite crashes into the school and most of the students get superpowers, but those who don't are put into a remedial class where they're taught, as normal people, their existence is meaningless. Kara gets out of the class to answer a distress call by pretending some "invisible superhero" is manhandling her to cover her flying. As Kara is taken away "to her doom," Lena proclaims "I WILL AVENGE YOU!"

** Supergirl tries to give herself the power to time travel to go back and stop the meteorite from hitting the school, but because she doesn't know what powers the fragment will give her, fears at one point she'll be turned into cheese. "I'm too delicious to live!"
* Issue Four
** When Lena discovers that Linda is Supergirl, Linda briefly envisions a scene where Lena happily becomes Supergirl's sidekick and they join forces to fight crime in "The Supermobile." Lena's real answer is less than encouraging.
--->'''Lena Thorul''': Are you INSANE?!
--->'''Supergirl''': It was just a thought...
** Streaky punches Belinda through a wall, and the following exchange occurs:
--->'''Belinda Zee''': Did the cat just punch me?!
--->'''Supergirl''' (''Chasing after Streaky''): Bad kitten! Stop being evil!
--->'''Belinda Zee''': [[FlatWhat Hunh]].
--->'''Lena Thorul''' (''Chasing after Supergirl''): REVENGE!
