** When Kara Zor-El first appeared in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton1959'', she was about fifteen years younger than Superman, and her parents sent her to Earth expecting that her adult cousin would take of her. When Kara was introduced to the Post-Crisis continuity in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'', she was about fifteen years "older" than Superman, born long before Krypton's destruction, and was sent to Earth to save her life AND take care of her baby cousin, but suspended animation shenanigans caused her to arrive thirty years late. The latter story arc became so influential in shaping the character's popular view that everybody assume that Kara being older than Superman has always been the case, and nobody can imagine a Supergirl origin where she was born after Superman.
** The 2015 show was Supergirl's biggest out-of-comics take. As a result, people are liable to think Supergirl's Earth name is Kara Danvers, she lives in and protects National City, and is best friends with Lex's little sister Lena. However, the name "Kara Danvers" and National City were creations of the show which the comics tried to adapt, dropping them after only two years, and Kara and Lena have not been friends in mainstream continuity since 1981.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The premise of Peter David's book -wherein a parallel lifeform merges with a dying Satanist, becomes an "Earthborn angel" and lives supernatural-themed adventures with a religious bent- turned off older Superman fans (who wanted Kara Zor-El back), newer Superman fans (who did not care for Supergirl or supernatural-themed Superman books), religious fans (who felt David was writing an AuthorTract about beliefs he did not know or understand), non-religious fans (who felt David was using the franchise as a mouthpiece for his religious views), and more widely speaking, whoever was not a David's die-hard fan. Ultimately the book was cancelled and all but outright declared non-canon.

* FandomRivalry: Kara Zor-El fans vs Linda Danvers fans. The first (and considerably larger) group isn't interested in a Supergirl that isn't Superman's Kryptonian cousin. The second group refuses to consider that other Supergirls may be good characters and bash are resentful of DC's complete erasure of Linda Danvers after Kara at every turn.came back, especially considering Linda was the only Supergirl for years and had a solo book lasting 80 issues.

Peter David's Supergirl run doesn't count as CBH since it's not on the trope page.

* CondemnedByHistory: In the late 90's, the Peter David title was hailed as the best ''Supergirl'' title ever by its fans, lasting eighty issues before getting cancelled in 2003. After its ending, though, it quickly became forgotten by everyone but a handful of passionate supporters. Nowadays, it is unknown or regarded as an obscure, dated and overly preachy 90's relic which has nothing do with the ''Superman'' mythos and stars a Supergirl in name only. The trade reedition being cancelled due to abysmal sales does not help matters.
