Meanwhile, Matrix grew stale, and in a few years Creator/PeterDavid was called in to {{retool}} her. In ''Supergirl'' vol. 4 #1 (September, 1996), Matrix traveled to the town of Leesburg, and [[FusionDance melded with a troubled girl]] named Linda Danvers, in a nice CallBack MythologyGag to her pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}} situation. The fusion of the two resulted in an "Earth-Born Angel", a holy being with powers of fire that would serve as the MythArc for her new series.

Eventually, the "angel" aspect and the "Linda" aspect separated, with Linda keeping some powers of her own. This came at the same time that Supergirl was introduced in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', so in a bit of media property alignment, [[RetCanon Linda was given the cartoon Supergirl's costume]]. In ''ComicBook/ManyHappyReturns'', the final story arc of the series, Linda met the ''original'' Pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}} Supergirl whose rocket somehow detoured to the ComicBook/PostCrisis universe. David hoped to [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot use the arc to kickstart a new series entitled]] ''[[WhatCouldHaveBeen Blond Justice]]'', and while the story sold very well, the new series was not to be. Ultimately, Kara returned to her universe, and Linda [[PutOnABus retired from superheroing.]] However, the success of ''Many Happy Returns'', suggested that there was interest in the original Supergirl...

At this point, Dan [=DiDio=] rose to power at DC Comics. As urban legends goes, [=DiDio=] freaked out when he accidentally discovered the current Supergirl's convoluted origin of pocket universes and "earth angels" and made one of his first edicts upon taking over DC Comics to be DC bringing back the real Supergirl. (The success of the aforementioned ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'' arc probably didn't hurt either). A new Kara Zor-El was introduced, having crash-landed onto Earth just in time to be (re)introduced into DC Universe canon in ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' #8 (May, 2004). In a twist, it was revealed that Kara was ''older'' than Kal-El when they lived together on Krypton, and had been sent into space in order to care for her baby cousin on Earth; her rocket, however, going off-course (in a re-appropriation of Power Girl's origin) had meant she arrived as a teenager when he was an adult.

In 2020, Supergirl's solo book was cancelled after fifteen years of almost uninterrupted publication; though DC released a new miniseries, ''ComicBook/SupergirlWomanOfTomorrow'', wherein Kara was quietly aged up. Since then, her own title's loss has been counterbalanced by maing her again a regular cast member in her cousin's stories.

* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' introduced its own version of Supergirl in 1998. This version was named Kara In-Ze and was rescued from the Kryptonian colony world of Argo. She wasn't actually a relative of Superman, beyond their being the same species, but she was adopted as his cousin and given a false civilian identity as Kara Kent. She was voiced by Creator/NicholleTom.

** ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'': A full television series that serves as a ContinuityReboot of the same concept as the web series, with noticeable differences, such as which characters are included and more stylized character designs.

* Additionally, in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' Paul Dini and Bruce Timm wanted to use the original Kara Zor-El, instead of the then-current Supergirl (Matrix/Linda Danvers in the comics), but they were denied by DC Comics, due to the then-current "Superman is the ''only'' survivor of Krypton" edict. She was also supposed to appear in the third seasons of ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperheroes'' before it was cancelled.

* ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2023'': The 2023 animated movie is set to feature Kara. She is voiced by Creator/MegDonnelly.

Supergirl is a comicbook superheroine, originally created as a DistaffCounterpart of Franchise/{{Superman}}, drawing inspiration from Mary Marvel (in fact one of Supergirl's co-creators, legendary comic artist Otto Binder also created Mary Marvel.) A summary of her history both in and out of comics can be found [[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Supergirl_Publication_History here]]

Though there have been other variations (see below) Supergirl is best known as Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin from the planet Krypton. A fellow survivor of that planetary catastrophe, she arrived on Earth later than Kal-El. Far younger than her now-adult cousin, she oftentimes struggles with Earth's strange mores and being in the shadow of the world's greatest hero while growing into a compassionate and heroic young woman. Her role, especially in earlier comics, fluctuated between being a supporting character in Superman stories, occupying in the Superman mythos a similar niche to Robin in the Batman mythos and having her own largely unrelated stories. She has been an on-again-off-again member of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', different incarnations of the Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, the Franchise/TeenTitans and the [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lanterns Corps]].

* "ComicBook/TheUntoldStoryOfArgoCity": ''Action Comics #309-310 and 314-316''. Supergirl investigates the death of Argo City and her parents' real fate... and that is only the beginning of her problems.

* ''Adventure Comics'': Featured various Superman family member stories. The second publishing home of Supergirl, after her run in Action Comics; her strips ran from Adventure Comics #381 (Jun 1969) to Adventure Comics #424 (Oct 1972).

Eventually, Creator/JohnByrne decided to [[WriterRevolt "cheat"]] his way around the "Superman: Last Son of Krypton For Real" edict to bring Supergirl back, in the form of "Matrix", a shape-shifting purple creature who just so happens to take Supergirl's form. The new version first appeared in ''Superman'' vol. 2 #16 (April, 1988). Hailing from a pocket universe where ComicBook/{{Superboy}} existed (in order to keep the Legion of Super-Heroes universe from collapsing from the removal of Superboy from canon) and all life was destroyed by escaped Phantom Zone villains, Supergirl followed Superman into the mainstream DC Universe and for a time, things were good even as Supergirl began dating the Post-Crisis ComicBook/LexLuthor (who, granted, was pretending to be his own son).

[[folder:Power Girl (Post-Crisis)]]

In the run-up to ''Infinite Crisis'', the surprisingly simple answer was revealed: she was... Kara Zor-L, the cousin of the Superman of Earth-2. As the Earths were being merged, she had somehow fallen through a crack in time, emerging in the ComicBook/PostCrisis universe unchanged, and the inconsistencies in her powers and origins since then had been side effects of the universe trying to fit her in. (Note: She is specifically from the Earth-2 that existed prior to ''Crisis of the Infinite Earths.'' A new Earth-2 that’s like the old one appeared after ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis but it has its own Power Girl. Much to the original's dismay.)

Thus, both Supergirls have ended up right back where they started. See? [[BlatantLies It wasn't so complicated after all!]]

[[folder:Post-Flashpoint Kara Zor-El and Power Girl]]

...Oh, what's that? DC rebooted [[ComicBook/{{New 52}} their entire universe again in 2011]], you say? Well, since Superman was rebooted this means Supergirl had to start from square one too. It's being kept simple this time: Supergirl is still Superman's cousin from Krypton who crashed to Earth much later and only remembers her cousin as a baby. Under the reboot Supergirl has experienced some personality shifts emphasizing she's an alien in contrast to her cousin.

Meanwhile, on Earth 2, Power Girl is also Superman's cousin from Krypton. Only she started her career there as Supergirl, her Superman is dead, and she's wound up stranded on the main Earth for several years. She co-starred in ''Worlds' Finest'' with her best friend, ComicBook/{{Huntress}} (who, much like PG, started out as a sidekick in E2, having been Robin to her dad Batman). And in an interesting twist, both Karas do eventually meet and discover they have a strange bond due to their status as AlternateUniverse counterparts of each other.

** Helen Slater's Supergirl briefly reappears in the [[TheMultiverse multiverse]] colliding scene alongside Christopher Reeve's Superman (both of them were [[FakeShemp recreated with CGI]]).

** Creator/SashaCalle plays Kara Zor-El from an AlternateReality created by Barry Allen/The Flash, which altered the events of ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and essentially replaced Creator/HenryCavill's Superman by her.
