| 22 | |
| 23 | -->'''" We saved Bizarro World, Supergirl... so why do me now hurt inside?"'' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | There were two different Bizarro versions of Supergirl in Pre-Crisis continuity. The first was pretty much just a GenderFlip version of the regular Bizarro in body and mind and died in her first appearance but the second was a little different. The second Bizarrogirl was created when the Bizarros used a Duplication Machine on the real Supergirl who at the time had been left with a monstrous appearance by a vindictive alien prince. The result was a Bizarro girl with the beautiful looks the real Supergirl (normally) possessed but the mind of a Bizarro, effectively making her a BrainlessBeauty. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | A Bizarro version of post-Crisis Linda Danvers was created by Buzz. Briefly mistaken by Fred for a Jokerised Linda, she ends up working for Lilith, but later sacrifices herself. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The Bizarro counterpart of Post-Crisis Kara, Bizarrogirl, was rocketed to Earth by Bizarro #1 when he believed that the Godship was going to destroy Bizarroworld. Here she hurt or killed several people, before being defeated by Supergirl; Kara returned Bizarrogirl to Bizarroworld, befriending her in the process. |

| 39 | |
| 40 | ->'''AKA:''' Zora Vi-Lar |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Zora Vi-Lar was born the daughter of Kryptonian Vi-Lar in the surviving city of Kandor. As an adult, Zora turned towards a life of crime, and took on the masked identity of Black Flame. She became a foe of Supergirl when she vowed to avenge her friend Lesla Lar and defeat Supergirl. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Zora began thwarting international police and going on a crime spree, gaining Supergirl's attention, and then she tried to trick Supergirl into believing she was an evil queen of a pirate planet, the head of an intergalactic crime empire... and the descendant of Supergirl, Supergirl XXV. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Zora hoped that Supergirl would expose herself to Gold Kryptonite so her descendants don't inherit her powers. However Supergirl saw through her ruse, exposed Zora to Gold Kryptonite and imprisoned her inside the Phantom Zone. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Black Flame fought Supergirl several times more, but ultimately she returned to Kandor where she reformed. Upon meeting Supergirl again, she expressed her regret for trying to steal Supergirl's powers before returning to the bottle city to lead a crime-free life. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Mister Mxyzptlk once took on the form of Black Flame in an attempt to humiliate Superman and Batman in ''World Finest #169''. |
| 51 | !!Tropes: |
| 52 | * TheAtoner: After being defeated by Supergirl, she tried to reform. |
| 53 | * BatmanGambit: She used one to try and trick Supergirl into stripping herself from her powers. |
| 54 | * ComplexityAddiction: Black Flame has a serious trouble with this. In ''Adventure Comics #400'', Supergirl is at her mercy: trapped in a locked room, unconscious and sprinkled with Green Kryptonite. And Black Flame orders her hired guns to hurry up and bring Supergirl to a DeathTrap before the Kryptonite kills her because she doesn't "want her go that easily". Supergirl survives Black Flame's elaborate death trap but she is immobilized and rendered unconscious. So Black Flame kills her? Nope. She sets another death trap up and waits for Supergirl coming around. |
| 55 | * DominoMask: She wears a pointed, red mask. |
| 56 | * InappropriateRoleModel: She fawned over Lesla Lar. Body-swapping, murderous, lunatic Lesla Lar. |
| 57 | * KidFromTheFuture: Subverted. She tries to trick Kara into believing she is her descendant. |
| 58 | * LargeHam: She is hammy. |
| 59 | -->'''Zora:''' See how she comes -- not knowing that she is flying to her -- '''DOOM!''' |
| 60 | * MadScientist: She is a brilliant scientist... and she is cunning and devious. |
| 61 | * MoralMyopia: Kara did not even know who Zora was until Zora tried to harm her. Still in ''Adventure Comics #400'', Black Flame declares that she will get her revenge on Supergirl for meddling in her affairs. So "Don't fall for your stupid, completely unwarranted revenge scheme" is synonymous with "meddling in your affairs"? |
| 62 | * RobotMe: She uses a robot double to trick Supergirl into believing she has not left Kandor. |
| 63 | * SuperpowerLottery: She had the Kryptonian full pack before being depowered. |

| 71 | ->'''AKA:''' Rachel Berkowitz |
| 72 | |
| 73 | There are several characters called Blackstarr (or Black Star) in Franchise/TheDCU, but only the Pre-Crisis incarnation is a member of Supergirl's RoguesGallery. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Born to jewish parents in Poland, Rachel was taken from her mother when they arrived at a concentration camp (in her mind, her mother had let them take her and abandoned her). |
| 76 | |
| 77 | She managed to amuse the camp commandant so much that she was allowed to live and was taken into his home. Being raised in a Nazi household, combined with her mother's failure to save her, convinced Rachel that the Nazis were right. The camp commandant had been prepared for the fall of Nazi Germany and had arranged false papers for her. These identified Rachel as American and she set off to the United States, where she studied and received her first PH.D. at 18. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Rachel unraveled a mystery that Einstein could only begin to dream of. The very forces of the universe took her, molding her into Blackstarr. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | In the early 1980's, Rachel had made herself the center of a Nazi organization. This caused her to clash with Supergirl and reunited Rachel with her mother. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | ---- |
| 84 | !!Tropes: |
| 85 | * BoomerangBigot: She is a Nazi Jew. |
| 86 | * EnemyMine: Supergirl and she are forced to team up during the Crisis. |
| 87 | * EvilRedhead: She is a redhead and... well, a Nazi super-villain. |
| 88 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: She was a poor, unlucky child... and she became a cosmic-powered villain. |
| 89 | * HoistHeroOverHead: Inverted. Supergirl does this to Blackstarr in ''Supergirl #15'''s cover. |
| 90 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She looks like a twenty-year-old woman, but she is in her fifties. |
| 91 | * ParentalAbandonment: She hates her parents because she is convinced that they abandoned her. |
| 92 | * PhysicalGoddess: She controls cosmic forces. |
| 93 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: She wears purple robes. |
| 94 | * SelfMadeOrphan: She kidnapped and considered killing her mother, but she never made the attempt. |
| 95 | * ShutUpHannibal: In ''Supergirl #25'', Kara does this to Blackstarr several times: |
| 96 | -->'''Blackstarr:''' I may be undecided as to the old woman's fate, but yours is certain... death!\ |
| 97 | '''Supergirl:''' Listen -- I've been romping through the cosmos since I was 15... and threats like THAT don't even make me work up a sweat! |
| 98 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: She was a cheerful, sweet little girl... and then the Third Reich happened. She was forcefully taken from her parents whom she blamed for not saving her, dumped in a concentration camp and raised by Nazis. Forty years later she's super-villain Blackstarr and is twisted and full of hatred. |

| 106 | ->'''AKA:''' Gaius Marcus |
| 107 | |
| 108 | Gaius Marcus, alias Buzz, was a Patrician in Ancient Rome. After the Emperor made off with his wife, Marcus made a deal with Beelzebub, Lord of Flies: allow for Caligula's assassination to go forward and for his wife Valeria to be returned to him alive and he would become the demon's slave upon his death. Unfortunately for Marcus, the shocked and devastated Valeria blamed him for her horrible treatment and stabbed him in the chest. Marcus became a demon whom Beelzebub renamed Buzz. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | As a demon, Buzz was responsible for much chaos in history before being sent to Leesburg to stir up some trouble. He created a cult that became involved in numerous illegal and illicit activities, and lured a young and insecure Linda Danvers into his cult. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | Several years later, Buzz attempted to murder Linda in an attempt to draw a demon named Chakat into the world. His ritual was stopped by Matrix, who bonded with Linda to save her life. From that point on, Buzz became Linda's enemy for much of her career. |
| 113 | |

| 115 | !!Tropes: |
| 116 | |
| 117 | * {{Archenemy}}: To Matrix and Linda Danvers. |
| 118 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: Was retroactively included in ComicBook/{{Raven}}'s backstory by making him a part of the cult that set up Angela Roth to be raped by Trigon. |
| 119 | * TheCorrupter: He put young Linda through the wringer. |
| 120 | * EvilBrit: Slightly came across as a sleazy, evil John Constantine. |
| 121 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He actually managed to charm Sylvia Danvers so well she set up a blind date for him and Linda at one point. But it was all a ruse to set up a scenario wherein the Danvers would die, pushing Supergirl past the DespairEventHorizon. [[spoiler: Thankfully this gets undone.]] |
| 122 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: It isn't commented on as much as the general corruption he put Linda did, but he actively persued her and spent several years grooming Linda for a sexual relationship while she was still a teenager. It's implied she even lost her virginity to him. |

| 132 | * TakingOverHeaven: His ambition was to wrest control of Heaven from The Presence by subverting it from the inside, by holding hostage the Schechina (the feminine aspect of God, the side of the divine responsible for mercy and compassion). By turning the avatars of the Schechina, the Earth-born angels, to the side of darkness, Carnivore literally blackmailed The Presence into handing over control of Heaven – but not for long. |

Luckily for her, she finds a much more generous planet named I'noxia that hails her as a hero when she saves them from danger. Their technology can even make robotic replicas of people from her memories; making the place a paradise... or so it seems. It is there she meets Cyborg Superman: a mysterious cybernetic being that looks very much like her cousin. He tells her that he's behind all this and can give her everything she desires on the planet. There's just one little fee: he wants her flesh to replace his cybernetic parts. |

| 157 | |
| 158 | His father neglected him and his mother took him away on the belief that Winslow was a pedophile only to abandon him. After a while Anton found his father's old workshop and decided to become the villain Dollmaker. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | Driven by envy and abandonment issues, Anton started kidnapping other children, turning them into cybernetic doll-like slaves. He also sent dolls resembling them to Cat Grant, whom he ultimately tried to force to become his new mother. |

| 172 | * NonActionGuy: Anton himself is an out of shape child who can't fight to save his life. |

Zor-El quarantined him as a last resort to protect him from himself and the Argonians from him until a cure could be found. Many years later, as testing a Phantom Drive engine, the Department of Extranormal Operations accidentally opened up to a rift to the Phantom Zone and released Lar-On. Exposed to Earth's full moon, Lar-On transformed into a werewolf and went on a rampage after being attacked by the D.E.O. |

| 227 | -->-- '''Lesla-Lar''' |
| 228 | |
| 229 | A villainous Kandorian scientist and Kara Zor-El lookalike who specialised in identity theft in both mundane and psychic versions. While she hasn't been seen since before the Crisis, she is historically significant as Supergirl's first true archenemy. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | After a lengthy scheme to remove and take Supergirl's powers failed, partially due to Mr. Mxyptlk's interference, Lesla-Lar tried again by recruiting Phantom Zone criminals to aid her. Instead, they turned on her, disintegrating her with her own weapon in ''Action Comics #297''. |
| 232 | |
| 233 | Lesla made her final appearance in ''Superman Family #206'' -eighteen years later!- in which her floating consciousness try to take over Supergirl's body once more, but this attempt failed and she was dispersed on the astral plane. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | !!Tropes: |
| 236 | * {{Archenemy}}: Of Pre-Crisis Kara. |
| 237 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Unusually for the Silver Age, she was ''disintegrated on-panel'' in her second appearance. Her final appearance had her mental energy dispersed on the astral plane, killing her for good. |
| 238 | * EvilCounterpart: To Pre-Crisis Kara. |
| 239 | * GrandTheftMe: Her main gimmick is identity theft. |
| 240 | * GreenAndMean: She usually wore green. |
| 241 | * GreenEyedMonster: She was insanely jealous of Supergirl's fame and praise, and thus she decided to become her. |
| 242 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: To both Kara and Lena Thorul (Lex's sister). On different occasions she managed to kidnap and impersonate both with anyone being any the wiser. |
| 243 | * KilledOffForReal: Lesla's body was disintegrated with her own weapon. Notable because it happened during the Silver Age, when villains dying was a rare thing. Many years later her floating consciousness tried to steal Supergirl's body, but she failed and was dispersed on the astral plane. |
| 244 | * LukeIAmYourFather: Subverted. After being disintegrated, her consciousness lived on. This messed with her mind to the point where she thought Supergirl was her sister. When she made this claim, Kara replied she had no siblings. |
| 245 | * MadScientist: Brilliant scientist... who attempted to swap her body with Supergirl's, kill Superman and Lex Luthor and rule Earth. |
| 246 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Lesla-Lar looked nearly identical to Kara (definitely a teenager at the time) and Lena (implied to be the same age as Kara) but she was apparently a successful scientist in Kandor and thus presumably quite a bit older. |
| 247 | * PaperTiger: In "ComicBook/TheUnknownSupergirl", Lesla-Lar was billed as Supergirl's first real nemesis; unfortunately, albeit she proves to be a cunning and manipulative schemer, she turns out to be a complete failure at face-to-face confrontations. In "ComicBook/TheGirlWithTheXRayMind" she is unable to defend herself when her would-be allies decide to obliterate her physical body; and in "ComicBook/StrangersAtTheHeartsCore", Lesla decides finally face Supergirl in person, and she loses so badly that her very soul is destroyed. |
| 248 | * SanitySlippage: After being disintegrated, Lesla-Lar's consciousness lived on. This messed with her mind to the point where she thought Supergirl was her sister. |
| 249 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: Lesla-Lar wore a lime-green suit. In her second appearance she wore a violet costume and orange cloak, gloves and boots. |
| 250 | * UnknownRival: She exploited this trope, and was introduced as "Supergirl's Secret Enemy." It took almost five issues for Supergirl to find out who was behind all of her troubles. |

| 263 | |
| 264 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: His weapons are two large glowing knives that can cut through a man like butter. |
| 265 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Pre-New 52, he was a grizzled, burly NinetiesAntiHero. He's much more suave looking in the New 52, though his crass personality hasn't changed a bit. |
| 266 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He had his own Villains Month issue in September 2013, which set up his appearance in ''Supergirl''. |
| 267 | * BatmanGambit: He tries to use Supergirl's rage against her by taunting her into not holding back. As such, Dr. Veritas teleports them out of the Block to prevent their fight from damaging it. Once outside, Lobo calls his ship and flies to Supergirl's old apartment in New York, hoping to calm her down. He then tries to be friendly to her offering to mentor her so she can learn to control her rage. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Big mistake]]. Supergirl has had it with people trying to manipulate her and gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. |
| 268 | * BountyHunter: Still works as a bounty hunter, and will do anything for money. |
| 269 | * CoversAlwaysLie: The cover for Lobo's Villains Month issue shows him looking like he did Pre-New 52. In the book, he looks like the above image. Lampshaded in the narration saying that you don't know this Lobo. |
| 270 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his Villains Month issue, when he finds out the cargo is smuggling is a tribe innocent aliens, he acts nice to them. However, once they reveal they were abducted for their valuable bones, he forces them back into the cage so he can get the large sum of money they're worth, not caring about their cries for mercy. |
| 271 | * ExactWords: When one of his employers reminds him that his contract forbids him from killing them, Lobo retorts that "it says nothing about maiming you." |
| 272 | * FakingTheDead: Thanks to his HealingFactor, he was able to recover getting punched by an angry Supergirl, but played dead so he could get in the Block. |
| 273 | * {{Foil}}: To Supergirl. Says writer Tony Bedard: "Lobo is there as a sort of dark reflection of her. They're both super-powerful loners left over from dead planets. Lobo has channeled his power and rage into becoming the most dangerous bounty-hunter/assassin in the galaxy. Supergirl's still trying to figure out what to do with her power and her lot in life. Tangling with Lobo will show her one path she might go down. It's really a cautionary tale for her, and she'll come away knowing that she could easily end up like him if she doesn't get her act together." |
| 274 | * HiredGuns |
| 275 | * IdenticalStranger: It appeared that Lobo's first New 52 debut was in ''Stormwatch'', where he looked just like he was pre-New 52. Then came Lobo's Villains Month issue and it reveals that there's another Lobo (the one on this page) who claims the Lobo in Stormwatch is an impostor that he is bent on finding and killing. |
| 276 | * {{Jerkass}}: Still a brutal thug at heart, with the personality to match. |
| 277 | * PutOnABus: He was last seen shrunken down and imprisoned in one of Brainiac 2.0’s bottles, with Hal Jordan suggesting they “keep him on the shelf”. He hasn’t been seen since. |
| 278 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are blood red and lack pupils. |

| 284 | Maelstrom is an Apokoliptian soldier. After spending most of her childhood in Granny Goodness' Section Zero she started working as a guard keeping watch over Darkseid's minions. Obsessively and secretly in love with Darkseid, Maelstrom sought out ways to get her King fall for her. Eventually Maelstrom came up with the idea of bringing Superman's head to Darkseid. In order to achieve her goal, Maelstrom stole a Boom Tube and travelled to Earth, starting a rampage in Metropolis. |
| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * GladiatorGames: In punishment for stealing a Boom Tube generator, Maelstrom was tortured and forced to fight for her life in the Terrorium arena for Darkseid's amusement. Maelstrom battled and defeated four Gladiortrons, the whole time proclaiming her love towards Darkseid. |
| 287 | * IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: It is unlikely that Darkseid even knew who Malestrom was before she stole a Boom Tube. Afterwards, his reaction to her infatuation varies between irritation and amusement. |
| 288 | * LoveMakesYouCrazy: A slave on Apokolips who wants to prove her devotion and love to Darkseid by bringing him the head of Superman. |

| 294 | After Matrix and Linda Danvers merged, there were remnants of Matrix's protoplasmic form left over. The remnants took on a life of their own, becoming a new individual that tried to overwhelm Supergirl and went on a rampage in Leesburg. |

| 300 | * DecompositeCharacter: This Matrix was made up of remnants left after Mae and Linda Danvers merged. |
| 301 | * EnemyWithout: Was essentially a collection of the original Matrix's negative emotions and hatred, made even more bitter at its seeming abandonment after Mae and Linda became one. |
| 302 | * EvilCounterpart: To Mae Kent. She even had some of the powers Mae lost after combining with Linda, such as invisibility and telekinesis. |
| 303 | * {{Expy}}: Her inhuman appearance and the backwards "S" she wore implicitly made her the first Bizarro-like character to fight the Post-Crisis Supergirl. |
| 304 | * MythologyGag: The concept of Mae's castoff remains coming to life and going on a rampage were previously explored in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' through 'Trix, who was inspired by the works of H.R. Giger instead of looking like a BlobMonster. |
| 305 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: While not as substantial as Supergirl's other enemies Post-Crisis, the destruction she caused in Leesburg caught Superman's attention which finally led to him learning about Mae and Linda's dual existence. |

| 314 | |
| 315 | Although the Gang has returned post-Crisis, Matrix-Prime has yet to do so. |

| 317 | * DoAnythingRobot: Matrix-Prime can construct mini-robots within itself to undertake wahetver task it requires. |
| 318 | * DroneDeployer: Matrix-Prime is a walking/flying robot factory. It can build robots within itself. Matrix-Prime’s robots emerge from a round hatch on its chest. When their mission is done they fly back in to be disassembled and reused for parts as needed. |
| 319 | * {{Flight}}: Flies via jets built into its legs. |
| 320 | * HoverMecha: Matrix-Prime was originally made for flying only, having rocket tubes instead of legs. |
| 321 | * MechanicalMonster: A giant robot built by a criminal organization and tough enough to take on Supergirl. |
| 322 | * SuperToughness: Matrix-Prime is constructed of "Tylenmium alloy, resistant up to 12 million pounds per square-inch pressure"; meaning it can withstand blows from Supergirl with no apparent damage. |

| 331 | |
| 332 | She was introduced in ''Adventure Comics #397'', enrolling at Stanhope University as a student. Working with her Uncle Lex, Nasty began a campaign of bullying students, hoping to force Supergirl into action and lure her out into the open where Lex would kill her with a kryptonite bullet. |
| 333 | |
| 334 | Their plot failed and her uncle was captured, but Nasty remained on campus to thwart Supergirl and in issue #406 she graduated with Linda Danvers. During the ceremony, she thought that she suspected that Linda was Supergirl. To prove it, she followed Linda to San Francisco, where both worked as junior reporters for K-SFTV until Linda quit her job and moved away in issue #424. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | Pre-Crisis Nasty wasn't seen again. However, a Post-Crisis version showed up in ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman''. |
| 337 | ---- |
| 338 | !!Tropes: |
| 339 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her relationship to Lex Luthor was never explained in any story. However, Mike Sekowsky explained it in the letters page of Adventure Comics #401. Nasty is the daughter of Lex's older sister who eloped to Europe as a teenager, and their parents never spoke to her again out of disapproval. |
| 340 | * AlphaBitch: During Linda's Stanhope years. She was a rich and arrogant bully. |
| 341 | * TheBully: She bullied students in order to lure Supergirl out. |
| 342 | * BullyingADragon: She ''knows'' Linda Danvers is Supergirl. She knows Linda is short-tempered. She knows Linda can kill her by looking at her and nobody will ever know or find her body because Supergirl can drop it in Alpha-Centauri. And still she puts her down constantly and tries to out her. |
| 343 | * TheBusCameBack: Sorts of. After several decades Nasty reappeared in ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman''. However it's a different version of the character. |
| 344 | * EvilUncle: Her uncle is ''Lex Luthor''. You know, Superman's arch-enemy. |
| 345 | * {{Foil}}: To Kara during her college years and her first job. Both characters are intelligent and self-reliant women with famous and notable relatives. However, Linda is kind-hearted, selfless and compassionate, she wants to use her intelligence and powers to help people, and her cousin is a hero. Nasty is mean-spirited, self-serving and scheming, uses her talents to get whatever she wants even at the expense of hurting other people, and she's a super-villain's niece. |
| 346 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Nasty" Luthor. |
| 347 | * NewTransferStudent: She is introduced this way in ''Adventure Comics #397''. |
| 348 | * PutOnABus:When the Supergirl's run in ''Adventure Comics'' ended with issue #424, Nasty faded into comic limbo. |
| 349 | * TheRival: To Kara when they worked as reporters for K-SFTV. She tried to out Kara or get her fired at the very least, and both liked the same person. |
| 350 | * SecretChaser: She guessed that Linda Danvers was Supergirl and endeavoured to prove it. |
| 351 | * SmugSnake: 'Nasty' Luthor is an obnoxious, condescending bully who schemed to out Linda or get her fired from her job at the very least. However, although she is manipulative, conniving and a Luthor, she is ''not'' her uncle, her first scheme backfired ''badly'', and she only succeeded at driving Supergirl mad. |
| 352 | * TakeOverTheWorld: She wanted to help her uncle kill Superman and Supergirl, hoping for a place in the new world order when Lex took over. It's unknown whether Lex would have granted her desire or not (say what you will about Luthor, but he cares for some of some of his relative). |
| 353 | * UngratefulBastard: Supergirl could save 'Nasty' over and over again, and 'Nasty' kept mocking her and attempting to expose her SecretIdentity. |

| 364 | She pulled Kara's "essence" out from her body and dragged her to the Innerverse, a nightmarish place filled with monsters and demons in where Supergirl was powerless. The Innerverse was actually [[spoiler:a microverse within Supergirl's brain, born from her darker, base thoughts]]. However, it was dying, so Nightflame travelled to the physical universe in order to capture Kara and get her life essence drained and poured into her. |

Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, because it changed the day you came to Apokolips. The most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Ever felt. 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."'' |

| 383 | |
| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | !!Tropes: |
| 386 | * AssholeVictim: [[EvilerThanThou Trigon's sons]] might have killed him to send a message, but considering he sheer disgusting ''brutality'' he showed as a [[DomesticAbuse abuser]] and the fact that he's from [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Apokalips]], said death is very easy to shrug off. |
| 387 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: One his first appearances, he seems like a kind, understanding boyfriend. This doesn't last for his true nature to reveal itself. |
| 388 | * CListFodder: Killed by Trigon's sons. |
| 389 | * CleavageWindow: A male version, intended to parody ComicBook/PowerGirl's outfit. |
| 390 | * DarkIsEvil: Wears a primarily black outfit, and is a DomesticAbuser and StalkerWithACrush to Supergirl. And if his description of his origin is true, he may have been sent as a sleeper agent posing as a hero. |
| 391 | * DomesticAbuse: To Supergirl, which caused them to break up. |
| 392 | * EmotionEater: He can channel others' emotions to fuel his abilities, but the excess emotions caused him to go psycho on Kara. |

| 396 | * MonsterOfTheAesop: A giant aesop about abusive boyfriends. |
| 397 | * NeverMyFault: He continually insists that Kara is "making him made angry". See WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou for more details. |
| 398 | * NotGoodWithRejection: He brutally beat Kara up, including dragging her face down the side of a skyscraper, and tied her to a bed when she reject him. She beat him up, dropped a ''house'' on him and told him never to bother her again. |
| 399 | * SpearCounterpart: As a native of Apokolips who enters into a romantic relationship with a younger member of Superman's family that later turns abusive, he is basically to Kara in the 2000s what [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Knockout was to Kon-El in the 90s]]. |
| 400 | * StalkerWithACrush: Powerboy became obsessed with Kara after catching a glimpse of her as a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Female Fury]]. He created a shrine and became a superhero to impress and seduce her. However, he grew more and more possessive, and beat the crap out of her when she tried to visit Captain Boomerang (Owen Mercer) in the hospital. |
| 401 | * WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: After Kara is brutally beaten up by Powerboy, including having her face '''dragged down the side of a skyscraper''', she wakes up in a bed next to a StalkerShrine devoted to her, bound in powerful, alien-tech restraints. Powerboy says a big speech about how much he loves her, that he knows best, and that the beating was her fault for making him angry. Supergirl's retort?

After her parents died she was raised by the scientist David Pendergast who was preparing to fight a new menace called "the Decay". In college, she took the alias of Psi and fought Supergirl several times, thinking that Supergirl was the Decay. The truth was that David Pendergast was an extension of her own fears. Realizing that the Decay was David and herself, she put a stop to Pendergast and herself. |

| 414 | * ChainmailBikini: Psi's original costume was a metallic swimsuit. |
| 415 | * TheEmpath: Gayle's empathic abilities are so powerful and sensitive that she can't block other people's emotions and feelings properly. Often she feels someone else's pain, hatred... like if was her own. |
| 416 | * {{Flight}}: Can fly via telekinesis. |
| 417 | * TheMagicTouch: Psi has displayed the ability to telekinetically rearrange matter a few times, such as when she turned Pendergast into “Decay” ; she also once melted a window so she could step through, then reformed it intact behind her. |
| 418 | * MindOverMatter: Is an extremely powerful telekinetic. |

Having faced Supergirl on numerous occasions pre-and-post-Crisis, and being the man responsible for the death of her father, Zor-El, her mother Alura, and most of her friends, in the post-Crisis continuity, Reactron is one of the rare villains who can legitimately claim to be a member of Supergirl's RoguesGallery. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | !!Tropes: |
| 434 | |
| 435 | * {{Archenemy}}: Could make a legitimate claim on being Kara's archenemy, Post-Crisis and Pre-New 52. He had multiple clashes with Kara, solo and during the events of ''New Krypton'', had a deeply personal rivalry with her, possessed powers and weaponry that let him fight her on an even basis, and ultimately killed her [[spoiler:father, mother, and entire race]]. No other villain has ever come close to inflicting that sort of emotional damage on Kara; the fact that he was specifically created to be a Supergirl adversary Pre-Crisis doesn't hurt his claim on this status either. |
| 436 | * ArcVillain: From the beginning of "New Krypton" until his death in "War of the Supermen" Reactron dominated the Post-Crisis Supergirl book as no one had before. |
| 437 | * AtomicSuperpower: Reactron can generate radiation from his body which he can use for concussive blasts. He is also equipped with a heart made of a gold Kryptonite variant, which allows him to render a Kryptonian powerless for 15 seconds. |
| 438 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: Detective Henderson managed to take Reactron out of action with a frankly spectacular shot through the eye slots of his mask, and into the eye beneath. |
| 439 | * AxCrazy: A violent psychopath who gets off on hurting and killing others. |
| 440 | * BlatantLies: His claim, Post-Crisis, that his costume was made of a captured region of space and granted him his powers. He admitted as much himself in ''New Krypton''. |
| 441 | * BlingOfWar: His golden armour and helmet. |
| 442 | * TheBrute: Like Metallo, Reactron has the persona down pat, and often plays this role in team ups. |
| 443 | * ChestBlaster: Reactron can fire a concentrated ray of Gold K radiation from his chest, depowering and severely injuring everything it hits. |
| 444 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Enjoys inflicting it and was on the receiving end of it courtesy of Alura and Gor. |
| 445 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: He wears gold to signify his Gold K heart, while Metallo wears green to represent his Green K one. |
| 446 | * {{Cyborg}}: After being rebuilt by ComicBook/LexLuthor on General Lane's orders. How much of him is man and how much is machine is open to interpretation. |
| 447 | * DirtyCoward: Subverted. He begs for his life when Supergirl and Alura capture him, and again when Gor is torturing him, but it is all revealed to be a ploy by he and Lane to hide the fact that they want him to be captured. |
| 448 | * DissonantSerenity: Smiles peacefully as he announces to Kara and Alura that he is a living nuclear bomb. |
| 449 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Inverted and then played straight. He began as an original Supergirl villain who was turned into a Metallo {{expy}} by Lane and Luthor at the start of ''New Krypton''. Afterwards, however, he went back in his own direction, becoming a mass-murdering psychopath on a scale that Metallo would have never dreamed of. |
| 450 | * EarthShatteringKaboom: When he explodes so does New Krypton. |
| 451 | * {{Expy}}: Reactron is an original villain, but during ''New Krypton'' he becomes an expy of Metallo, who Lane teams him up with. |
| 452 | * FinalSolution: Becomes Lane and Luthor's solution to the Kryptonian problem, cheerfully annihilating almost the entire race in a single blast. |
| 453 | * FinalSpeech: Manages to rattle of a little speech as he dies, explaining what is about to happen to Supergirl and Alura. |
| 454 | * {{Flight}}: Capable of propelling himself into the air and floating there. |
| 455 | * HandBlast: Emits his nuclear radiation through his hands, fingertips, and palms alike. |
| 456 | * TheHeavy: During the four part ''Hunt for Reactron'' arc, and most of the issues leading up to it. |
| 457 | * HeManWomanHater: Expresses some very misogynistic sentiments. |
| 458 | * HeroKiller: After Luthor rebuilt him during ''New Krypton''. With his new cybernetic parts and Gold Kryptonite heart, Reactron can mow down Kryptonians in droves. He fights Flamebird, Nightwing, and Supergirl evenly, losing only when Flamebird--a Kryptonian god--unleashes her full power, and in the end, murders almost the entirety of the Kryptonian race. |
| 459 | * ISurrenderSuckers: How he got into New Krypton to kill Zor-El. He does it again in order to blow up the planet. |
| 460 | * ItsPersonal: After numerous clashes, and particularly after the events on New Krypton, it was very personal for he and Kara. |
| 461 | * {{Jerkass}}: When not being a monster, he tends to just act like a dick. |
| 462 | * JerkassHasAPoint: When he calls out Superwoman on the fact that JustFollowingOrders is no excuse for what she's done and that in the end, she's as bad as he is. |
| 463 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: His whole motif after he gains the Gold K heart. He powers down Kryptonians, then irradiates them. |
| 464 | * KilledOffForReal: In the Post-Crisis, Pre-Flashpoint world he never recovered from his death in ''New Krypton''. |
| 465 | * LackOfEmpathy: Reactron cares only about himself and how famous his killing is going to make him. |
| 466 | * MadeOfTitanium: [[ImmuneToBullets Bullets bounce off of Reactron]]. So too, do most other attacks, including Kryptonian punches. It may not be the NighInvulnerability of Superman himself, but there's no way around the fact that Benjamin Krull is a durable bastard. |
| 467 | * MajorlyAwesome: Formerly Major Benjamin Martin Krull, US Army, and still referred to as such by Lane and Luthor. |
| 468 | * ManOfKryptonite: His Gold K heart deactivates a Kryptonian's powers for fifteen seconds, more than long enough for Reactron to finish the job with his radiation powers or his bare hands. |
| 469 | * {{Narcissist}}: Benjamin Krullen cares for no one but himself, and people are only toys he amuses himself with. So what if did he murder his ex-girlfriend? She dared to break up with him! |
| 470 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: In his first Post-Crisis attack on her, Supergirl notes that for a guy with near limitless power, Reactron isn't thinking very big, or using his powers very intelligently. Cue the events of ''New Krypton''. |
| 471 | * NuclearMutant: Emits nuclear radiation, and with help from Luthor, can transform into a bomb. |
| 472 | * NukeEm: Turns into a massive nuclear bomb. |
| 473 | * PsychoForHire: When not operating as a member of the US Army, Krull falls into this territory. |
| 474 | * {{Retcon}}: Reactron was a Pre-Crisis Supergirl villain. Post-Crisis his early battles with the original Kara Zor-El were retconned into having been against Power Girl. There's also his appearance during the New Krypton arc, where he states his claims about being a captured region of space was just a lie on a whim. |
| 475 | * {{Sadist}}: Reactron really, really enjoys hurting people, to a level that's normally reserved for the likes of ComicBook/TheJoker. |
| 476 | * SkullForAHead: A skull mask to be more precise. |
| 477 | * TheSociopath: Reactron hits every requirement for the trope and most of those for the actual personality disorder, with his sadism, short temper, rapid mood swings, and total lack of conviction in anything beyond himself. |
| 478 | * SociopathicSoldier: Enjoys murder, torture, and the occasional threat of rape. Pre-Crisis, he was one of these even before becoming Reactron, having massacred an entire village as a sergeant in Vietnam. |
| 479 | * StarSpangledSpandex: Reactron wears a suit like this. He claimed it was "made from a region of space", but later admitted this was untrue. The Pre-Crisis version wore a purple outfit with big five-pointed stars all over it. |
| 480 | * SuicideAttack: On New Krypton. Reactron let himself be captured and tortured, with the intention of letting Luthor convert him into a nuke so that he could blow the entire planet apart. |
| 481 | * SuperSpeed: It's rarely mentioned, but much like Metallo, Reactron is able to keep up with Kryptonians, meaning that he has to possess at least a degree of super speed. |
| 482 | * SuperStrength: Between being supercharged by radiation and rebuilt with cybernetics, Reactron is strong enough to injure the likes of Supergirl, Flamebird, and Nightwing with his blows. |
| 483 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: They glow bright golden yellow when he uses his powers. |
| 484 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Everybody does this to him during ''New Krypton'', with very bad results. |
| 485 | * UngratefulBastard: Kara saves him from being tortured by Alura. He pays her back by detonating himself, killing her mother and her entire race in an attempt at getting to her. "Glad I got the whole family set." |
| 486 | * YouKilledMyFather: During the events of ''New Krypton'' Reactron kills Supergirl's father, Zor-El, in front of her. He later gets her mother, and the rest of her race. |

| 493 | The leader of the Worldkillers, a QuirkyMinibossSquad of Kryptonian-created {{Super Soldier}}s, and one of the first major enemies Supergirl faced in the ''New 52''. [[spoiler: It is ''heavily'' hinted that Kara's father Zor-el is her creator, as he is established as having worked on the Worldkillers and in Issue Zero what is either Reign or a being very much like her can be seen in stasis in a pod in his lab]]. |
| 494 | ---- |
| 495 | !!Tropes: |
| 496 | |
| 497 | * {{BFS}}: Wields one initially- [[SubvertedTrope until Kara breaks it with her bare hands]]. Reign is not amused. |
| 498 | * BloodKnight: Reign ''loves'' to fight, and she's [[SuperSoldier very good at it]]. |
| 499 | * DarkActionGirl |
| 500 | * DistaffCounterpart: She's basically a female, rather more articulate Doomsday with a bit of Zod mixed in. |
| 501 | * EvilCounterpart: Clearly positions herself as one in much of her dialogue to Kara. [[spoiler: Especially since, if the hints as to her backstory are true, she's something of a daughter of Zor-el herself]]. |
| 502 | * FlyingBrick: Her powers are explicitly identified as flight, strength, and invulnerability. |
| 503 | * GalacticConqueror: What she was created to be. It's unclear if she and her companions have ''actually' conquered anything yet, but they make a good try for Earth. |
| 504 | * HumanoidAliens: She's roughly human/Kryptonian in appearance, except for her unnaturally pale skin, solid black eyes, and PointedEars. Her face is also shaped subtly different from a human's, with a slightly reptillian cast reminiscent of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Lord Voldemort]]. |
| 505 | * ImplacableMan: Thanks to her FlyingBrick powers, she can take massive hits and just keep coming. |
| 506 | * JustBetweenYouAndMe: She explains her backstory to Kara while they're fighting in New York City. Slightly deconstructed in that Kara is too busy defending herself to pay much attention. |
| 507 | * MasterSwordsman: Reign's highly advanced combat training extends to swordsmanship, and she's lethal with her BFS. |
| 508 | * MysteriousPast: Reign has serious memory gaps that she's trying to fill in as she tries to conquer the galaxy. |
| 509 | * ObviouslyEvil: She's pretty sinister looking. For example, she has: |
| 510 | ** BlackEyesOfEvil: Jet-black eyes |
| 511 | ** EvilRedhead: Fiery red hair. |
| 512 | ** SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains / {{Stripperiffic}}: A rather skimpy outfit that's mostly composed of black leather. |
| 513 | * PetTheDog: Evil and brutal she may be, but she values the lives of her fellow Worldkillers, and retreats rather than allow Kara to kill even one of them. |
| 514 | * SuperSoldier: She and her fellow Worldkillers were intended as the ultimate weapon by the Kryptonian scientists who created them. |
| 515 | * VillainExitStageLeft: Retreats from Earth at the end of the arc that introduced her, but with the promise that she'll be back- and that there's one more Worldkiller out there that Supergirl doesn't know about... |
| 516 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Makes Supergirl this offer at their first meeting. When Kara refuses, Reign decides she wasn't worthy anyway. |

| 534 | |
| 535 | ->'''AKA''': Red Kryptonite double of Kara Zor-El (Pre-Crisis), Dolores Pratchett (Satan Girl I), S'tanicule Gyrstress (Satan Girl II) |
| 536 | |
| 537 | One of the most perplexing and intriguing enemies in Supergirl's RoguesGallery, in that name has been shared by three vastly different individuals across the Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis DCU. |
| 538 | |
| 539 | The original Satan Girl of the Pre-Crisis DC Universe was an evil doppelganger of Supergirl created by Red Kryptonite, and she attempted to kill Kara and the female members of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' to attain dominance. |
| 540 | |
| 541 | Post-Crisis, Satan Girl was Dolores Pratchett, an 18th Century Satanist who fought against Matrix and Linda Danvers, and the name would be given to S'tanicule Gyrstress, an alien demon who fought the Post-Crisis Kara. |
| 542 | |
| 543 | There were plans for a fourth iteration to appear in the sequel to ''Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade''. |
| 544 | |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | !!Tropes: |
| 547 | |
| 548 | * AntiVillain: The duplicate Kara and Dolores straddle the lines between Type II and Type III. |
| 549 | * ArchEnemy: The Dolores Satan Girl was one to Ember, the Earth Angel of Fire who preceded Matrix and Linda. |
| 550 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: Dolores' whole shtick with Ember is that she's disgusted at the idea of Ember becoming an Earth Angel even though she was no better than Dolores, and that Ember tries to act HolierThanThou. Although Dolores is also a child murderer, a racist, and considers Ember a creature because she was her slave. [[spoiler: There's also her bitterness at the fact that Ember was saved because Dolores' daughter Rachel sacrificed herself to save her and the two became one. Dolores is angry because Rachel became a part of their feud, and when Ember was damned, so was Rachel.]] |
| 551 | * BackFromTheDead: Dolores' first actual appearance was when she got revived by the Chaos Stream. |
| 552 | * CardCarryingVillain: Justified. Being Kara Zor-El's evil duplicate, she's basically dark desires and impulses made flesh with no conscience to hold them back, so she delights in evil for the sake of evil. |
| 553 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Dolores. [[spoiler: She became Satan Girl because her daughter Rachel died trying to save Ember, and the two were reborn as the new Earth Angel of Fire. Dolores' plans were all meant to try and separate her daughter from Ember so she could have her back, but it just led to Rachel's damnation when Ember killed Dolores. Thankfully, the intervention of Supergirl not only stopped Dolores' rampage, but allowed Ember and Rachel to enter Heaven.]] |
| 554 | * EvilCounterpart: Pre-Crisis Satan Girl to Supergirl. |
| 555 | * EvilRedhead: Dolores and S'tanicule. |
| 556 | * HatePlague: The crimson plague S'tanicule unleashes to make the world love her also turns people into bloodthirsty monsters. |
| 557 | * HornedHumanoid: With HotAsHell, S'tanicule is the most satanic looking of all the Satan Girls. |
| 558 | * MadGod: S'tanicule Gyrstress is the Brocian goddess of love and death. |
| 559 | ** ThePowerOfLove: An evil variant. |
| 560 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: A very weird subversion. Dolores' magic ends up switching Supergirl and Ember, and she tries to convince Ember that she can live if she lets Supergirl die in her place. [[spoiler: This is all to try and circumvent her daughter Rachel's eventual death, rebirth, and damnation, so this becomes a slight case of SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.]] |
| 561 | * MamaBear: Dolores is a very evil version. |
| 562 | * MoralityPet: Dolores' daughter Rachel. |
| 563 | * MythologyGag: When Dolores Pratchett originally became Satan Girl before her first death, she wore the Pre-Crisis Satan Girl's costume. |
| 564 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: She calls herself ''Satan Girl''. |
| 565 | * PyrrhicVictory: In a way, Dolores got what she wanted. [[spoiler: Even though she dies again and doesn't necessarily get Rachel back, her actions helped pave the way for Rachel's ascension into Heaven, so she's no longer suffering.]] |
| 566 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: All the Pre-Crisis Satan Girl wanted to do was live, albeit at the expense of the lives of Supergirl and the female Legionnaires. |
| 567 | * WomanScorned: Dolores Pratchett taught her slave Ember all there was to know about the Dark Arts, but when Ember slept with her husband, Dolores denounced her publically as a witch. |
| 568 | * WouldHarmAChild: Dolores Pratchett attained ungodly power after sacrificing children. |
| 569 | * YeOldeButcheredEnglish: Dolores originally spoke like this, but when her enemy Ember switched places with Supergirl, she opted to drop the formal "thees" and such. |

| 575 | |
| 576 | -->''"The sacred gift of chaos is like a fractal, appearing infinite to the simple, but shaped in a complex mandala beyond their comprehension, and so useless to them... but not to me."'' |
| 577 | |
| 578 | Eve Aries was a founding member of the [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Legion of Super-Villains]] in the 31st Century. A native of Saturn's moon Titan, Eve was born with telepathic abilities which she used for crime. Thanks to the fractured nature of time and space in the DC Universe, there have been multiple versions of Saturn Queen from different universes and timelines. One version traveled to the past alongside Cosmic King and Lightning Lord, where they raised Superman and Batman from childhood and used them to take over the 21st Century, in an effort to make sure the future they came from would happen. Once Superman and Batman were able to undo the damage the LSV created, it seemed Saturn Queen was erased from existence... |
| 579 | |
| 580 | Until, during ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', this Saturn Queen's universe was briefly restored along with the original Multiverse. When her Earth was destroyed again, Saturn Queen somehow survived and was lost inside the Phantom Zone. There she found a displaced version of Ultraman, the evil Antimatter Universe version of Superman. After brainwashing him into believing she was his mother, the two escaped from the Phantom Zone into the bottle city of Kandor and took over. When Supergirl and Power Girl appeared in Kandor as Flamebird and Nightwing, Saturn Queen tried to brainwash Supergirl into becoming Ultraman's bride. |
| 581 | ---- |
| 582 | * TheCorrupter: She, alongside Cosmic King and Lightning Lord, successfully turned Superman and Batman into murderous tyrants who enslaved the Earth. In ''Kandor'', she also tried to brainwash Supergirl, but the effect of the Kryptonite poisoning Kara was still suffering from made Eve unable to keep a grasp on Kara's mind. |
| 583 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When Batman was accidentally killed in ''Absolute Power'', Eve is shown crying over his body, implying in some twisted way she actually did love him and Superman as her sons. Later, she begs Supergirl to spare Ultraman's life by giving her the information she wants about Argo City. |
| 584 | * EvilCounterpart: To Saturn Girl. |
| 585 | * EvilMatriarch: She took on the role of raising Kal-El and Bruce Wayne from childhood with Cosmic King and Lightning Lord as their surrogate fathers. It seemed the years she spent as their mother made her develop a taste for being a parent, as she'll try to brainwash people into thinking she is their mother in order to use their power. She's even referred to as "The Holy Mother" while in control of Kandor. |
| 586 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Especially when she takes control of Kandor. |
| 587 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of the ''Kandor'' arc. |
| 588 | * MindRape: Has lobotomized and brainwashed many heroes, including the Martian Manhunter and the Legion of Super-Heroes. |
| 589 | * SoleSurvivor: Of her universe. How and why she survived is never explained. |

| 601 | |

| 603 | * ArtifactOfDoom: Subverted. Selena thinks the Omegahedron is a conduit for the power of shadow, but it's amplifying her existing powers and is also used to power Argo City. Played straight with the Burundi Wand, an artifact of pure evil that amplifies the Omegahedron's powers. |
| 604 | * CanonImmigrant: ''ComicBook/SupergirlRebirth'' introduced its own version of her. |
| 605 | * CardCarryingVillain: Selena plans world domination, openly studies black magic, and hates light. |
| 606 | * ColdIron: Supergirl stops Selena at the amusement park by surrounding her with metal posts. |
| 607 | * EvilIsPetty: Selena torments a girl Nigel is interested in just to hurt him, and to gain followers. She's furious when Linda accidentally makes Ethan fall in love with her and vows to make her as miserable as Supergirl. |
| 608 | * EvilSorcerer: Selena is a female example; her ambition is to become a Sorcerous Overlord. |

Kara -who was working back then as a Student Advisor in New Athens Experimental School in Florida- began to investigate her after several students participants in Sylvia’s research programme start complaining of narcolepsy. She discovered that Sylvia's real name was Shyla Kor-Onn, a Phantom Zone escapee whose experiments involved draining the life energy from participants, and who tried to drain Supergirl's powers. Kara beat her and tricked her back into the Phantom Zone. |
| 620 | |
| 621 | However Shyla managed to persuade Kandorians officials to release her, claiming that Kara Zor-El was in cahoots with Lex Luthor. Shyla tried to frame Kara by using Lex Luthor's mental recordings in which Lesla-Lar impersonated Supergirl many years before. |
| 622 | ---- |
| 623 | !!Tropes: |
| 624 | * GreenAndMean: Supergirl's villains apparently '''love''' wearing green. |
| 625 | * HeelFaceTurn: Shayla is a selfish villain in all of her appearances save her final one, where she has abruptly started using her talents for good and apologizes for her past crimes. |
| 626 | * KarmaHoudini: Supergirl denounces Shyla's crimes and manages to prove she framed her. Shyla got away scot-free, though. |
| 627 | * LaboriousLaziness: Shayla got sent to the Phantom Zone before the destruction of her planet because she wanted to be an astronaut but decided to use her energy draining device to pass the physical rather than devote her energy to fairly passing the test. Someone died when she accidentally took too much energy, and Shayla got sentenced to the Phantom Zone. |

| 645 | * BodyHorror: After getting caught in the explosion of his space base he's left a charred torso missing an eye. His transformation detailed below also seems to have entirely replaced his internal anatomy, leaving only his remaining human skin and eye. |
| 646 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's the CEO of a company that has a contract with the world's superpowers for first salvage rights of any alien objects. He's very disdainful of any complaints from the world's leaders, confident in his own entitlement, and very condescending over putting the resources to his own use instead of them being "squandered" by good people like Kara. |
| 647 | * EmergencyTransformation: He had to be merged with an alien blob after Supergirl's escape left him in pieces. He actually really appreciates the transformation because it made him stronger than ever. |
| 648 | * {{Loincloth}}: What he wears after his transformation. It shows off his new body quite well. |
| 649 | * RubberMan: His transformation gave him stretching powers, shapeshifting, and invulnerability. |
| 650 | * SharpDressedMan: He used to be one. |

| 653 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's left frozen in crystal in the Sanctuary. When Santuary is destroyed, there is no mention of him, leaving readers to assume that he died along with Santuary. Lampshaded in issue #23, where Supergirl fights robot clones of people from her memories and the Tycho robot says that they had to go deep into her subconscious to find memories of him; implying that he must pretty forgettable and bringing up him being left for dead. |

Temperamental and savage, traits only exasperated ever since her parents died in a car accident, Deceilia grew to harbor a deep hatred for authority figures; men and women of power and/or influence. She wreaked havoc on her planet's ruling class until she was banished by their bigotry and intolerance.

Mokkari came up with a memory-control system to put her under the Department's control, and Director Bones decided to send her out under orders of causing enough mayhem to lure Supergirl out. Deceilia broke free from Mokkari's mind-control quickly and started to attack innocent civilians, which quickly earned Supergirl's attention. |
| 688 | ---- |
| 689 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Her mental reprogramming wore off as quickly as it was applied to her, showcasing an amazing resilience to psychic or mental manipulation. Given her irrational emotion problems one could reasonably argue this is due to InsanityImmunity. |
| 690 | * {{Mutants}}: She was born with different colored skin and enhanced abilities compared to the rest of her people. It's shown by the brief glimpse into her past that she did not like her status as a "freak", possibly from persecution. |
| 691 | * NeverMyFault: Her parents died in a hover car accident and she killed the drivers of the other car in a vengeful rage, but acts like being rightfully charged and exiled for murder was just the elites looking for an excuse to persecute her. Her attitude in general seems to be doing whatever she wants to others on an emotional basis and justifying herself as defying oppression. |
| 692 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She proclaims she's fighting against anyone that would abuse their power over others to oppress but she's a superpowered being killing anyone she believes fits that criteria, [[SinsOfTheFather including children of the elite]], and callously kills a servant for merely working for the rich. She dismisses anyone that would disagree and pass judgement on her as another authority trying to oppress her. |
| 693 | * RebelliousSpirit: Has a deep hatred for all authority figures; men and women of power and/or influence. She [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist doesn't really have a rational reason]] for this and is seems to just be using bucking authority as an excuse to dismiss any responsibility or compassion for others to kill anyone that crosses her. |
| 694 | * SuperReflexes: She's reactive enough to catch a flying Supergirl. |
| 695 | * SuperSpeed: Fast enough to catch Supergirl out of the air in mid-flight. |
| 696 | * SuperStrong: As a child, Deceilia was strong enough to kill full grown adults barehanded. Having matured to adulthood, she's strong enough to fight a Kryptonian on equal footing. |
| 697 | * SuperToughness: Resilient enough to resist and trade blows with a Kryptonian without physical injury. |

| 703 | ->''"In fact, I don't just look like you. I AM you. Identical. Well, except that I'm better. I'm like, the upgrade, y'know? Linda -- version B. Or Belinda. Whatever."'' |
| 704 | |
| 705 | ->'''AKA:''' Belinda Zee |
| 706 | |
| 707 | A dark-haired, Kryptonite duplicate of Supergirl who called herself Belinda Zee, as she is "Linda Version B." Belinda is everything Linda Lee isn't. That is, she's popular and beloved by her classmates and teachers, and she's also a smug, petty, and manipulative bully, the complete opposite of Linda. So naturally, if Linda wants people to like her, Belinda wants Linda to be hated. Not necessarily a villain, she falls under ChaoticNeutral, and her emotional state of mind is considered very unstable. We later find out she has horribly low self esteem and actually wants to be nice, but feels totally backwards. |
| 708 | ---- |
| 709 | !!Tropes: |
| 710 | |
| 711 | * AffablyEvil / FauxAffablyEvil: Depending on how she's feeling. |
| 712 | * AlphaBitch: Although the only people she seems to bully are Linda and Lena Thorul. |
| 713 | * AndIMustScream: In the final issue Belinda is turned into a crystal statue. She cannot talk or move but she is fully sentient and -worst of all- she can feel pain. |
| 714 | * AnimalsHateHim: She gets mauled by Streaky. |
| 715 | * AxCrazy: What she degenerates into. |
| 716 | * BeingEvilSucks: The fifth issue revealed she's actually very unhappy with being an asshole. Deep down, she truly wants to be nice like Linda but she's not sure how she can do that. That would explain her PetTheDog moment mentioned below. |
| 717 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Promotional art for the non-produced ''Cosmic Adventures in the 9th Grade'' showed Belinda's face had started to crack after she was turned into a crystal statue.]] |
| 718 | * ChaoticNeutral: Invoked as WordOfGod described her as such. |
| 719 | * CompositeCharacter: She has a few obvious Bizarro elements, but is thematically closer to "Dark Supergirl". |
| 720 | * [[DarkIsEvil Dark is Chaotic Neutral]]: She starts out with a Supergirl costume containing an inverted color scheme and a backwards S, but when she becomes Superior Girl she's wearing a a Supergirl costume with purple and black, as well as a dark mask. |
| 721 | * DeadpanSnarker: Every word out of her mouth practically radiates with cynical snark. [[spoiler: Not even being crystallized can turn it off.]] |
| 722 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: She uses her "Superior Vision" on Streaky, and accidentally turns him into a sabertooth tiger. |
| 723 | -->'''Superior Girl''': That was not my best plan. |
| 724 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: She considers Alura Zor-El to be her mother, and is genuinely heartbroken when [[spoiler: what she thinks is]] Alura doesn't consider her to be her daughter. |
| 725 | * EvilCounterpart: As far as an evil counterpart goes, Belinda didn't start out as a supervillain so much as she was an asshole who felt the need to wreck Linda's life. She even helps Linda in the fourth issue with nothing to gain. She doesn't become a straightforward villain until the fifth issue of ''Cosmic Adventures'' and only ''then'' because she's being manipulated. |
| 726 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 727 | ** Of Bizarro. Though she's not as overt as most Bizarro counterparts go, simply in that she's an artificial creation that is the opposite of Supergirl in terms of morality without the chalk like skin, limited intellect, and messed up language skills. [[spoiler: Had the creators been able to release the sequel series, Belinda's physical appearance would've become more Bizarro-like thanks to her transformation into crystal.]] |
| 728 | ** The writers also considered her as one to [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Veronica Lodge]] to match Linda's Betty Cooper. |
| 729 | ** Her black hair and last name starting with "Z," plus her egotism, make her reminiscent of General Zod. |
| 730 | ** Being a Kryptonite-based duplicate of Supergirl she retains a resemblance to the original Satan Girl (who was created from Red Kryptonite). |
| 731 | * FalseFriend: She once pretended she was Linda's best friend to drive a wedge between her and Lena. |
| 732 | * ForTheEvulz: Why she makes Linda squirm so much. Other than that, this is exemplified in the third issue when she goes around empowering kids with the meteor fragments, knowing full well she's creating havoc. |
| 733 | * GreenEyedMonster: Secretly has a ''huge'' inferiority complex and hates Linda because she believes Linda thinks she's better than her. |
| 734 | * ItsAllAboutMe: She interrupts a discussion being held between Linda and Lena and says they're talking about her. When Linda says they were discussing Superman, Belinda she says she automatically assumed they were talking about her because she's just the awesome. |
| 735 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: She spent most of the miniseries pushing Linda's buttons just to screw with her, but after admitting how unhappy she really is, Belinda's manipulated into giving in to her baser emotions and decides to become Superior Girl. |
| 736 | * ManipulativeBitch: When she's not flat out antagonizing Linda, she's acting overly kind and supportive as a front for a more underhanded scheme. |
| 737 | * PetTheDog: In one moment of genuine kindness she makes Lena Thorul forget who Supergirl really is. Belinda had nothing to gain from this and actually helped Linda with no provocation. |
| 738 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She delivers one to Linda when they first meet. Linda's at first excited at the idea of having another Kryptonian for a friend, but Belinda just says she's a frumpy klutz who's desire to be a superhero is totally not cool. Linda then realizes she's a supervillain. |
| 739 | * SanitySlippage: Steadily becomes quite unhinged after she becomes Superior Girl. |
| 740 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: Belinda sports a violet outfit after becoming Superior Girl. |
| 741 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She brags about being totally awesome in every regard, when she's really a miserable bully who can't even do nice things without feeling "backwards" while doing so. |
| 742 | * SmugSnake: She's brainwashed into acting like a duck in the second issue, and in the fourth issue she gets attacked by Streaky. [[spoiler: She's then turned into a statue by Mr. Mxyzptlk in issue six.]] |
| 743 | * StepfordSmiler: Despite thinking she's completely awesome, she's really miserable and doesn't know why. She even admits at one point that she really does want to be nice like Linda, but feels her emotions are totally backwards. |
| 744 | * SuperEmpowering: She flies around with a piece of Red Kryptonite, giving powers to most of the Stanhope Elementary at the same rate as Lena Luther uses her machine to remove them. |
| 745 | * TakenForGranite: And [[AndIMustScream sentient]]. |
| 746 | * TeachersPet: [[spoiler: Although the teachers are all imps of the 5th Dimension who've been secretly using Belinda.]] |
| 747 | * TragicVillain: She goes from a smug asshole to a rampaging psycho to a poor, pathetic, and broken girl throughout the story. |
| 748 | * TrappedInVillainy: As she puts it, Belinda doesn't ''want'' to be nasty and mean all the time. She tries to be nice like Linda, but for some reason it makes her feel horrible compared to when she's being deliberately petty and spiteful and feeling good about it. |
| 749 | -->'''Belinda''': It's like I'm totally backwards! |
| 750 | * UnwittingPawn: Of [[spoiler: Mr. Mxyzptlk.]] |
| 751 | * VillainousBreakdown: When Linda's mom (who is also technically her mom) doesn't recognize her, Belinda breaks down into tears and starts screaming she's "Number One." |
| 752 | * VitriolicBestBuds: There was shades of this in the fourth issue. |
| 753 | * WomanScorned: An odd variant. When she meets Supragirl, Linda's counterpart from an AlternateTimeline, Belinda flips and thinks she's being replaced, screaming she was the first, and therefor original, Supergirl doppelganger. |
| 754 | -->'''Supergirl''': If you're number one, and I was here first, what does that make me? |
| 755 | -->'''Superior Girl''': ZERO! |

| 761 | |
| 762 | ->'''AKA:''' Lucy Lane |
| 763 | |
| 764 | A mysterious woman wearing an S-shield whom Post-Crisis Supergirl encounters in New Krypton. She at first seems to be one of the heroes, but is eventually revealed as a villain when she not only attacks Supergirl, but saves Reactron from her, killing the supervillain's ex-girlfriend in order to cover up his survival. She is actually Lucy Lane, implanted in New Krypton as General Lane's spy. |
| 765 | ---- |
| 766 | !!Tropes: |
| 767 | * AlliterativeName: '''L'''ucy '''L'''ane. |
| 768 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The spheres on her uniform stabilize her energies. Tear them off and she'll blow up. |
| 769 | * BadassCape |
| 770 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Wears the S-shield. Supergirl rips it off of her. |
| 771 | * CainAndAbel: With Lois |
| 772 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Her costume, a magic garment created by Mirabai the witch, is what grants her powers to her, at least prior to her first resurrection. |
| 773 | * DaddysLittleVillain: Driven into evil by her father's emotional abuse. |
| 774 | * DarkActionGirl: Lucy was already a soldier before her father had her subjected to the experiments that gave her her powers. |
| 775 | * DeathIsCheap: Seemingly killed and resurrected several times now, thanks to her existence as an energy being. |
| 776 | * TheDragon: To General Lane alongside Luthor and Codename: Assassin. |
| 777 | * DrivenByEnvy: Of Lois. |
| 778 | * EnergyBeings: After her first death Lucy became a being of raw magical energy which can only be forced back into humanoid form by her suit. |
| 779 | * EvilKnockoff: Meant to stir up anti-Kryptonian sentiment, and turn people against the House of El. |
| 780 | * FaceHeelTurn: Lucy was originally a good guy. |
| 781 | * FreudianExcuse: Years of emotional abuse from Sam Lane made Lucy into the monster she became. |
| 782 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Lucy Lane, the young sister of Lois Lane, is revealed to be Superwoman, who at first appears to be one of the heroes, but is eventually revealed as a villain when she not only attacks Supergirl, but saves Reactron from her, killing the supervillain's ex-girlfriend in order to cover up his survival. She is working for her father General Lane, implanted in New Krypton as a spy. Her {{Backstory}} reveals that since the moment she was born, she has felt overshadowed by her big sister Lois. Lucy always felt that Lois outperformed her, overshadowed her and was more loved by their father. Lucy never blames Lois, but she blames her parents Sam and Ella. Feeling that by maybe being closer to Lois her father would pay more attention to her, Lucy moved to the same city, but this came at the same time that Lois and her father grew apart over Superman. After her father's death, Lucy joined the U.S. Army. Lucy rose quickly in the ranks. During the Amazon attack on the United States, Lucy was nearly killed by two Amazons but was saved by Codename: Assassin. Awakening in Project 7734, her father is able to convince Lucy to put on the Superwoman suit, which possesses mystical qualities. Her sole motivation is to make her father proud of her and excuse her crimes by saying she was just following her orders. When she is captured and imprisoned for her crimes, her sister visits her. Lois tells Lucy she disgusts her, that she was once luminescent, a wonderful girl who always smiled even when things were at their worst. But since their father died she changed. Lois thought Lucy joined the military to honor their father, but Lois wonders when she stopped being her sister and started being this monster. When Lucy tries to justify her crimes by saying she was following their father's orders, Lois calls that a pitiful excuse, and calls Lucy out on allowing herself to be become a killing machine to impress a man that did not even care for them when they were kids. She tells Lucy she cannot forgive their father for his crimes or Lucy for being so stupid. |
| 783 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Her first death causes the Kryptonian DNA in her costume to fuse with her own, effectively making her a human/Kryptonian hybrid in the vein of Superboy. |
| 784 | * InTheHood: Wears a hood and mask to conceal her identity |
| 785 | * JustFollowingOrders: Tries to use this as an excuse for her crimes. Neither Supergirl nor Lois is buying it. For that matter, even [[JerkassHasAPoint Reactron]] laughs at her hypocrisy. |
| 786 | * KickTheDog: Murdering a scientist who was trying to inform General Lane of her unstable physical condition. |
| 787 | * MajorlyAwesome: Holds the rank of major. |
| 788 | * MilitaryBrat |
| 789 | * MoralityPet: For all her father's abuse of her, she's one of the few people he's shown to care about. |
| 790 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Receives a harsh one from Lois after her resurrection. |
| 791 | * SanitySlippage: The experiments her father performed on her and the trauma of dying and coming back drove Lucy totally over the edge. |
| 792 | * SlasherSmile: Regularly, and particularly after her resurrection. |
| 793 | * SociopathicSoldier: Already a cold-blooded killer, Lucy's resurrection made her into a psycho in the same vein as Reactron. |
| 794 | * SuperpowerLottery: Can fake all the classic Krytponian powers. |
| 795 | * ThatWomanIsDead: By proxy. As far as Lois is concerned, Lucy is dead and Superwoman is the thing that killed her. |
| 796 | * TranshumanTreachery: While loyal to her father, Lucy shows exactly zero empathy for anyone else following her resurrection, murdering people at random if they so much as irritate her. |
| 797 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: Will do anything to make her father show her affection. |

| 802 | |
| 803 | ->'''AKA:''' Molly |
| 804 | |
| 805 | Molly and her twin, Jane, were born on Apokolips and were meant to become members of the Female Furies. The two girls fled from Apokolips and arrived in England on Earth sometime in the middle ages. As a New God, Molly had the power of immortality and she also had the ability to resurrect the recently dead. She used her abilities to help people during the middle ages around the time of the Black Death. Her sister, Jane, was powerless and died from the plague. Molly had overused her abilities and couldn't use them to save Jane. She cursed God for her loss and hoped to use her powers to get back at him. She wandered the planet alone for centuries planning. Centuries later, Molly, as Twilight, became the enemy of God's agents on Earth, including Supergirl. |

| 821 | |
| 822 | The most mysterious enemy Post-Crisis Linda Danvers ever fought, a powerful, demonic being who made vague hints about a previous battle with "a" Supergirl that left him trapped in a dying dimension. While still trapped in this dimension, he hunted down and murdered various Supergirls of different realities trying to find the one who originally fought him, and had a hand in the Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El meeting Linda Danvers. |
| 823 | ---- |
| 824 | !!Tropes: |
| 825 | * EvilIsPetty: He is so obsessed with killing Supergirls that he ''[[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds doesn't care]]'' if killing one of them will end the multiverse. |
| 826 | * {{Expy}}: Of Gog from ''ComicBook/{{The Kingdom|DCComics}}'', who killed Supermen of different realities. |
| 827 | * HeroKiller: Xenon hunts down and murders Supergirls. He trapped, chained and almost murdered Earth-One Kara Zor-El, the Supergirl who could move ''planets'' and almost killed the Anti-Monitor. |
| 828 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Xenon will only refer to the Supergirl who defeated him as "She," with every other woman to wear the shield he refers to as "It." |
| 829 | * MysteriousPast: We have no idea who Xenon was or where he came from before ''ComicBook/ManyHappyReturns''. |
| 830 | * SerialKiller: Of Supergirls throughout the Multiverse and Hypertime. It's implied he's already killed a good number of them, and we're shown him murdering a slightly South American-esque Supergirl in ''Many Happy Returns''. |
| 831 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With his sometimes ally the Fatalist, a man who claims to be the Spectre's opposite. |
| 832 | * UnknownRival: It's implied the Supergirl he hates so much was Linda Danvers, but a Linda far older and more powerful. That Xenon is deliberately unclear as to which Supergirl he's talking about frustrates Linda ''and'' Kara. |
