* In ''Comicbook/{{Convergence}}: Adventures of Superman #1'', Earth-1 Superman goes on about how highly he thinks of his cousin and how much Kara means to him:
-->'''Superman:''' It's why I'm always in awe of you.\\
'''Supergirl:''' Me? You're joking.\\
'''Superman:'''No. Really. I act as a deterrent to those who do bad. I react to events after they happen and try to fix them. But you don't wait. You're always thinking of ways to use your powers to help others before they even know they need help. And you bring caring and wamrth everywhere you go. I've never quite said this before, but for most of my life, I thought I was alone in the universe. You came to Earth and your optimism and cheer helped me through the times when it looked like the bad guys could win. You've not only touched my life, but everyone else's. And we're all so much better because you're here.\\
'''Supergirl:''' I don't know what to say --

However, after the events of Convergence, post-Crisis Superman knows of his pre-Crisis cousin [[spoiler:''and'' he helped to avert her death.]]

* Power Girl, her adult self from an AlternateUniverse, saving her life and then bonding with her. Usually, when two superheroes meet, there's a slugfest, but Kara and Kara touch and are immediately assaulted with each others' memories. There's a bit of teasing ("You don't think that outfit is a little too revealing?"/"I got it out of your closet!"), but they end up liking and admiring each other so much. It's especially sweet because Power Girl was earlier shown going out of her way to avoid Supergirl, not wanting to cause some kind of paradoxical explosion.

* It is blatantly implied the angelic being who visited Linda Danvers at one point, claiming to be her guardian angel, was in fact the ''original'' Supergirl, the Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El. Keep in mind that ''Many Happy Returns'' had Linda actually meet Kara chronologically before she arrived on the Pre-Crisis Earth-One. The story arc had a very BittersweetEnding when Linda was forced to send Kara back to what would be her eventual death during the Crisis, but the implications that this Kara had been watching over Linda all her life shows that Kara never held it against Linda over what happened. Even as someone who no one remembered and never existed in this universe, Kara is still finding ways to be a hero.

It is a person who ''God himself'' says has no hope of redemption (but, given Peter David's religious beliefs, turn out to have "outs" even for them).

* The Linda Danvers Supergirl journeys back to the Pre-Crisis DC continuity in order to prevent the Kara Zor-El Supergirl from dying in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. She meets the Pre-Crisis Superman and tries to BlatantLies give an excuse for where she's from (which is Kara's Pre-Crisis origin). Superman pretends to buy it only to eventually accept her over the course of a number of years before falling in love. Given Lois Lane was written as not the capable and formidable woman she would be in the Golden and Modern continuities, this Superman falls for Linda and they agree to marry. Eventually, they a child and Linda is willing to die because she's had a good life.
