6	* KangarooCourt:
7	** Zigzagged in ''ComicBook/TheHuntForReactron''. When Kara brings Reactron to Kryptonian justice, Alura coldly informs him that he'll be judged, found guilty and executed. However she ''intends'' to put him on trial rather than lynching him, unlike a lot of Kryptonians. ''However'' during a preliminary hearing a judge questions the trial's legality since Reactron hasn't been extradited lawfully, and Alura dismisses his concerns. ''However'', when a lynch mob breaks into the building, she protects Reactron.
8	** In ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', secondary character Sheko became a [[TheBerserker Red Lantern]] because she was a judge on a planet where kangaroo courts were the rule, the concept of justice had been turned into a joke, rich and powerful people got away with anything, and when she tried to make her job fairly, she got shot.
9	* KidHero: Pre-Crisis Supergirl was fifteen when she landed on Earth and started out her superhero career. Her Post-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint incarnations also started out as teen heroes.
10	* KidHeroAllGrownUp: Pre-Crisis Supergirl began her hero career when she was fifteen. Through the duration of the Pre-Crisis era she grew up, graduated college, changed jobs several times... by the end of the 70's she was in her late twenties and a seasoned crimefighter and world-savior.
11	* KidSidekick: Silver Age Supergirl played it straight at the beginning, but she eventually subverted it. She was Superman's sidekick and emergency secret weapon while he was training her, but when he revealed her existence to the world, he made clear that she was his partner. Before that, in ''ComicBook/TheUnknownSupergirl'', Kara becomes invulnerable to Kryptonite for a while, and Superman seriously regards her as superior to him, and wonders if he should become ''her'' sidekick. During the Silver and Bronze Ages both cousins interacted as equals, but in the Post-Crisis universe, teen Kara became his sidekick again.
12	* KilledMidSentence:
13	** In ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', an alternate Supergirl fades into oblivion as shouting she has to warn her counterpart about...
14	--->'''Supergirl''': Oh no! I'm too late! The timeline where I go back in time never happened! I'm fading from existence! Now I'll never be able to tell myself that the Principal is secretly-- <POOF>
15	** In ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', a crime-lord gets gunned down as pleading with her mistreated and pissed-off dancer for mercy:
16	--->'''Crimelord:''' N-now, Suchin, let's not be hasty...! If I ever hurt any of you girls, it was only because--
17	** ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'': Bizarro Lex Luthor is explaining to Supergirl and her twin where the current threat came from when a giant critter turns up all of sudden and chomps on him.
18	--->'''Supergirl:''' What happened to Bizarro World, Lex? And what is the Godship?\
19	'''Bizarro Lex Luthor:''' Godship am Big Bad. And it came because of me. Me was trying to find worstest way to hurt Bizarro #1, my worstest enemy, so me sent signal into core of the planet, hoping to find someone to come out and help. But signal went opposite direction into space and it attracted—-
20	** In ''ComicBook/TheKillersOfKrypton'', Supergirl has just scared an alien into confessing everything he knows about Rogol Zaar, but he is blasted to ashes by one of his own allies right when he is about to spill the beans:
21	--->'''Alien:''' Okay, Okay, Okay. I'll spill my guts! Just don't use his axe on me! Please! What do you wanna-\
22	He is struck by an energy beam
23	* KillItWithFire: In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsShazam'', Karmang casts a fire spell to try to burn Supergirl and Mary Marvel to ashes when both heroines storm his stronghold.
24	* KindheartedCatLover: Kara is a cat person. Back in the Silver Age she owned a pet tomcat called Streaky -which accidentally got super-powers-. In ''ComicBook/Supergirl1982'' [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MTwWbbx306Y/V2u-Rd8G-KI/AAAAAAAAqwg/s4UrgLkcRqYs3rYO0LEAxNotSBlNBDyXwCKgB/s1600/dnaos%2B6-10.jpg she found a stray female cat and she adopted it and named Streaky right away]]. [[https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fWggXIjrZs8/V2u-RTryVNI/AAAAAAAAqwk/VsEhsjFGs-U3frgfLr2p4cjs1UcbmTviwCKgB/s1600/dnaos%2B6-11.jpg She really adores her cats.]] In ''ComicBook/TheComingOfAtlas'', Kara [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PL5y2k7GJAg/VqnODZZtj-I/AAAAAAAAHqk/xidprEOLdzc/s0-Ic42/RCO014.jpg is playing with a pride of thoroughly confused lions]] when she hears her cousin is in trouble. It must be a genetic trait, because Post-Crisis Kara and Power Girl also own pet cats (although Power Girl's is called Stinky).
25	-->'''Supergirl:''' Well, now... What've got here? Hiya, little kittycat! You live around here?\
26	'''Joan:''' I've seen her scrounging around the block for days now. I figure she's a stray.\
27	'''Supergirl:''' Not anymore, friend -- 'cause this little darling's just been adopted! Isn't that right, little Streaky?\
28	'''Joan:''' You sure don't waste time thinking up names! How'cum Streaky?\
29	'''Supergirl:''' Oh... Let's just say she reminds me of a cat I used own!
30	* KirbyDots: This visual effect was often used in ''Red Daughter Of Krypton'' when [[http://infinitecomix.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/SprGrl-28-2.jpg Supergirl's eyes poured sheer red energy]] or her BattleAura [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d7rt4OOOMBE/U0pMV4L3ugI/AAAAAAAACUk/zLSydgkM9Rc/s1600/Red+Lantern+%252329+%25284%2529.jpg flared up]].
31	* KissingCousins:
32	** In ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #289, [[http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/FireFox516/Random%20Crap/SupermanandKara.jpg Superman reveals that he's saddened that Kryptonian law forbids first cousins from marrying because he wishes he could find a girl like Kara]] after Kara has tried to find her cousin a girlfriend. Supergirl proceeds to use a computer to find a girl who looks and acts like her as an adult named Luma Lynai in another galaxy. Superman and Luma hit it off but sadly, she couldn't exist under a yellow sun. Luma would get referenced several times thereafter as the one who got away. Any implications of romance between the Superman and Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl, however, was completely averted Post-Crisis.
33	** ''Action Comics'' #260 is worse in that respect. Clark has Kara disguise herself as a superheroine from another dimension, and she and Supes proceed to have make-outs (in ''front'' of Lois), all to fool some dim alien invasion. They even ''get married''. She was explicitly underage at the time, too.
34	* KryptoniteFactor: Supergirl has the same weaknesses that her cousin. Namely: kryptonite and magic.
35	** In the ''ComicBook/NewKrypton'' storyline, Supergirl faced off against Reactron, an enemy powered by golden kryptonite which nullified her powers.
36	** In the ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' arc, Silver Banshee managed to contain Supergirl for a short while when they fought because her sonic attacks are magic, and Kryptonians are vulnerable to magic. Later on, Kara was weakened when she fought [[spoiler:Worldkiller-1]] because Earth's atmosphere was poisoned with kryptonite.
37	* KryptoniteRing: In ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'', Lex Luthor has a Kryptonite ring that he plans to use against Supergirl... until Batgirl steals it from him and takes it to a lead-lined vault, saying "I see it as insurance... which I hope I never need to use."
38	* KubrickStare: If Supergirl is doing this, congratulations. You have pissed off someone who is as powerful as Superman and is more hot-tempered and less self-controlled. And now you are about to get pummelled. And God helps you if you hurt her cousin.
39	** In ''Crisis On Infinite Earths #7'' [[http://images.popmatters.com/news_art/1/1530_crisis_art03.jpg she does this right before beating the crap out of the Anti-Monitor]] so protect her cousin.
40	** At the beginning of ''Red Daughter Of Krypton'' Kara does this when ''ComicBook/{{Lobo}}'' [[http://abload.de/img/supergirl28-2lvkbh.jpg tries]] and [[http://abload.de/img/supergirl28-3otkq6.jpg manages]] to drive her mad, and it is used to hint that she is about to lose it and become a [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]].
41	** ''Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl And Batgirl'': Supergirl did this after [[spoiler:discovering her murdered cousin's body.]]
42	* LadyLegionnaireWear: Kara wears a red and golden armoured skirt during her Amazon training in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004''.
43	* LanguageDrift: In ''Legion of Super-Heroes (Vol. 5)'' #23, Supergirl travels to Kandor -a surviving Kryptonian city- and meets 31st century Kandorians. Although they talk Kryptonese, their language has become barely intelligible to her. At the same time, her speech is an archaic, thousand-year-old dialect from their perspective, so they do not even understand a simple request for some water.
44	-->'''Supergirl:''' Are all the wires necessary? They're making me uncomfortable. And could I have some water?\
45	'''Scientist 1:''' What's she going on about?\
46	'''Scientist 2:''' Weird, isn't it? It's Kryptonese, but it's an ancient dialect! Something about liquid wires...?\
47	'''Supergirl:''' Water? In a cup?\
48	'''Scientist 1:''' Oh. For thirst.
49	* LargeHam: Supergirl villains tend to get this way. Scenery-chewing, dramatization and verbosity are practically mandatory. Some examples:
50	-->'''Nightflame:''' NAY! Your chrome-plated chariot does not frighten me! Now you shall know of the power of Nightflame! And of my flame-sword!
51	-->'''Black Starr:''' FOOL! You think all there is to reality is what is seen? Yes – I appear young – and I may be younger still... or even be you, if I so desire!
52	-->'''Satan Girl:''' Fool, you'll '''NEVER''' find a cure for them! I know... because it was '''I''' who unleashed this doom of the crimson virus on them!
53	-->'''ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}:''' Darkseid IS!
54	* LaserCutter:
55	** In an issue, Superman is called upon to use his heat vision as a laser beam to perform surgery on Supergirl - since she is Kryptonian, no Earth scalpel can cut her.
56	** Supergirl has also used her heat vision as a kind of scalpel. In ''ComicBook/WhoIsSuperwoman'', she used her heat vision to cut a fabric sample off Superwoman's cowl in order to get it analyzed. In ''ComicBook/Supergirl2011'' story arc ''ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'', Kara combines her EyeBeams with her microscopic vision to perform surgery on Kon-El on a cellular level. More mundane uses include to shave her legs and cut her hair off.
57	* LastKiss: In ''Solo #1'', [[spoiler:Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El and her childhood crush Dick Malverne]] gave each other one last kiss goodbye before he died from cancer.
58	* LastOfHisKind: She and her cousin are the last Kryptonians. It was discussed in ''Red Daughter Of Krypton''. Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner -who had never met Supergirl previously in this universe- are shocked to learn that there's another living Kryptonian besides Superman, who was supposedly the last one.
59	* LatexPerfection:
60	** In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman1961'', [[http://www.cbr.com/silver-age-september-the-first-death-of-superman/ Kara finally reveals herself to the public by crashing a party the bad guys are throwing in a full Superman suit and mask, then removing it to reveal herself]].
61	** One time, Superman was unable to save an alien woman, but fortunately for him, she was actually Supergirl in disguise.
62	** The Matrix Supergirl did this quite a bit for some time, before she briefly gained the ability to shapeshift.
63	* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Kara is more reckless and more hot-headed than her older cousin and just so invulnerable, so she is prone to take more risks and head-diving into a situation with little concern about her safety.
64	* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: In ''ComicBook/SupermanBrainiac'', Supergirl accidentally reveals that Daily Planet's journalist Cat Grant has fake boobs. Later, Supergirl accidentally gets Cat slightly bruised while saving her. As a result of this, Cat spends one whole year slandering Supergirl in the hope that her tripe drives the young hero away from Metropolis.
65	* TheLeader: Albeit usually a solo fighter, Supergirl has led teams like the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes from time to time, proving she can be level-headed and make good decisions when it's required. In ''ComicBook/GoodLookingCorpse'' story arc she quickly puts together a team to take down a villain who is targetting young heroes, and although she doubts her leadership skills, her team thinks she did just fine.
66	* LeaveMeAlone:
67	** Post-Crisis Supergirl asked her cousin, Batman and Wonder Woman leave her alone for a while as she figured her new life out. Unfortunately she spent one whole year completely aimless and screwing around [[spoiler:due to Kryptonite poisoning altering her personality]] until she understood she needed help.
68	** Post-Flashpoint Kara kept this attitude for a long while. Superman and Supergirl argue in ''ComicBook/RedLanterns'' #30, he reminds his cousin that she wanted him to leave her alone to live her own life since she showed up on Earth.
69	* LeftHanging: ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague3000'''s abrupt cancellation left a ton of subplots unresolved, such like: Why did past Superman send Supergirl to the far-flung future? The final issue doesn't even conclude the battle between the League and the Legion of Death, and readers had to read a completely different book -''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'' Vol. 9 #12-13, published one year later- to find out whether the League won or lost that battle.
70	* LegacyCharacter:
71	** In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman1961'', Supergirl becomes the Earth's protector after her cousin gets murdered by Lex Luthor.
72	--->'''Supergirl:''' You can stop wasting bullets! I have all of Superman's astonishing powers! -- Gangdom may have succeeded in treacherously killing Superman, but I'm going to carry on his great work!
73	** In ''ComicBook/TheFinalDaysOfSuperman'', Superman tells his cousin that he is dying and asks her to carry on in his name. In ''ComicBook/Supergirl2016'' she joins the DEO -Department of Extra-normal Operations- to help her to restore her powers and carry on her cousin's work.
74	* LegendFadesToMyth: ''Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes'' #16 reveals some people believe the heroes of the 21st century were mere comic-book characters.
75	* LeotardOfPower: Different versions of Supergirl wore a leotard in the mid-80's and early 10's.
76	* LetsYouAndHimFight:
77	** In ''ComicBook/NewKrypton'' storyline, Reactron kills Supergirl's father and later frames her best friend Thara Ak-Var (Flamebird) for his murder. In ''ComicBook/TheHuntForReactron'', both friends come to blows.
78	** In ''Last Daughter of Krypton'', when Supergirl arrives on Earth, Superman introduces himself as Kal-El. She attacks him, thinking that he is a villain pretending to be a Kryptonian because she is unaware that Krypton has been destroyed and thinks that it has only been a short time since she left, and when she left, her cousin Kal-El was a mere baby. She eventually relents after the initial misunderstanding.
79	* LightGirlDarkBoy: Usually, Supergirl and Power Girl have a fairer skin than Superman and Superboy. Additionally both girls have blond hair, and their male cousin and his younger self/clone/son have black hair.
80	* LightningBruiser: Supergirl is superhumanly strong, lightning fast and night invulnerable.
81	* LighterAndSofter: Due to the writers's different interpretations of what Kara Zor-El is/should be, ''Supergirl'''s runs/books/series tend to go from depressing and angsty to optimistic and light-hearted before switching back to dark again.
82	* LikeADuckTakesToWater: Kara is relatively ordinary under the light of a red sun (such as that of her home planet of Krypton). Under a yellow sun like that of Earth, she acquires powers and abilities "far beyond those of mortal men."
83	* LikeBrotherAndSister:
84	** Superman and Supergirl are extremely close in most continuities. In the Pre-Crisis universe, Clark cared about Kara [[http://www.abload.de/img/dcretroactivesuperman20jjj.jpg more than almost any other]], and when he is told that ''[[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths she will die]]'', [[http://www.abload.de/img/dcretroactivesupermanjbkfq.jpg he goes ballistic]] and then [[http://abload.de/img/dcretroactivesupermanfwklp.jpg becomes very, very distressed]]. Post-Crisis, Superman took care of her as soon as she arrived on Earth. Threaten her and you'll set his PapaWolf instincts off. And you really, ''really'' don't want that. They were not so close during the ''ComicBook/New52'' directive. Even so, in ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'', Kara can only think of Kal when she [[spoiler:believes she is dying]].
85	** Dick Grayson alias ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'' also sees his relationship with the post-Crisis Kara this way. On the other hand, Supergirl [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/4e7330c5fc7e88f1c6e6c6c4ed7b9ff1/tumblr_n1mznrylgK1rc8doao2_1280.jpg is attracted to him at the beginning]], but after a while she starts treating him like a big brother.
86	* {{Lilliputians}}:
87	** People from the Bottled City of Kandor. Kandor was a Kryptonian city which was shrunk by Brainiac before Krypton's destruction. Superman managed to retrieve the city from Brainiac, and he and Supergirl spend most of Silver and Bronze Ages looking for ways to re-enlarge Kandor and its inhabitants (finally succeeding in ''ComicBook/LetMyPeopleGrow'').
88	** Supergirl's parents and the remainder survivors of Argo City shrank and moved to Kandor after Kara rescued them from the Survival Zone.
89	** Whenever Kal and Kara wanted to visit the Kandorians they needed to shrink to go in the Bottle City.
90	** In ''ComicBook/KryptonNoMore'', [[spoiler:they are so worried about Superman’s deteriorating mental stability that they talked Supergirl into convincing him that they did not exist for his own good]].
91	** In the Post-Crisis universe, the Kandorians and their shrunk city were reintroduced in the 00's.
92	* LimitedWardrobe: For a period in the 1960s, Supergirl would change outfits every few issues. All costumes were designed by fans. Eventually they decided on one costume and she kept that outfit (with minor changes) until her death in the 1980s.
93	* LineageComesFromTheFather: In ''ComicBook/TheKryptonChronicles'', Kal and Kara trace their ancestry through their fathers' line (Jor-El and Zor-El, respectively) back to Erok-El, ruler of the continent of Urrika and founder of the first Kryptonian civilization.
94	* LingerieScene: The ''ComicBook/SupermanFamily'' comics featured a reasonable amount of scenes where Linda Danvers lounged around her home wearing nothing but undergarments.
95	* LiteralSplitPersonality:
96	** In ''ComicBook/TheCondemnedLegionnaires'', Supergirl had an evil duplicate created by a piece of red Kryptonite. She came out wearing a black cowl and full bodysuit.
97	** ''ComicBook/GirlPower'', Supergirl's evil clone -properly named Dark Supergirl- was spawned by black Kryptonite and wore a [[PaintItBlack black version of Kara's normal outfit]].
98	* LiteraryAllusionTitle: "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" story of ''ComicBook/AdventureComics'' #420 named after a poem by Dylan Thomas.
99	* LoafingInFullCostume: Post-Crisis Kara had no secret identity for over one year since her arrival in Earth. She spent all of her time wearing her costume and performing heroics, to the point her cousin grew concerned and talked her into creating her own secret identity in order to avoid a burn-out.
100	* LongLostRelative: A constant in every Supergirl's origin story (some examples: ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton1959'', ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'', ''ComicBook/LastDaughterOfKrypton''...): Clark Kent/Kal-El grows up believing he is his biological family's only survivor until another Kryptonian rocketship crashes on Earth, and Clark meets his long-lost first cousin Kara Zor-El, who -depending on the version- was launched into space later and/or took longer to arrive.
101	* LongRunnerTechMarchesOn: Supergirl was created in 1959. In one of her modern adventures a group of super-villains used a mobile app to track her location.
102	* LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/TG0NTraLL-I/AAAAAAAAJ2k/oOYp1TkLGX8/s1600/sg55-07.jpg It happens]] when Supergirl punches her counterpart so hard she flies away but her boot remains behind.
103	* LoveAtFirstSight: In the seventh issue of her first solo book, Kara remembers how she fell for a guy called Tony Martin as soon as she saw him.
104	-->'''Supergirl:''' Ohh... What a dreamboat! I thought love at first sight was just for fairy tales -- until now!
105	* LoveHurts:
106	** Kara doesn't seem to have much luck in the romance department. Most of guys she dates turn out to be jerks, creeps, cheaters, or super-villains. When she dates a guy who is actually nice and well-meaning, she often has to break up with him. This is true of all her incarnations.
107	** Pre-Crisis Kara dated Dick Malverne when they were teenagers. Many years later Dick sought her out to confess that he always loved her... because he was dying from cancer. They kissed the night he died, leaving Kara heart-broken.
108	--->That was the last time I saw Richard. Tonight I know what it is to be human. Tonight my super skin is still invulnerable, but my Richard is never coming back, and my heart is broken into a million pieces.
109	* LovelyAngels:
110	** Kara and Barbara Gordon alias Batgirl during the Silver Age. They first teamed up in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlBatgirlPlot'' and they quickly became best friends and an excellent crime-fighting duo. In ''ComicBook/TheAttackOfTheAnnihilator'', Kara and Barbara team up to take the Annihilator down. Although Batgirl feels she has little to contribute to the fight, Supergirl is delighted to fight alongside her.
111	** In Post-Crisis continuity, Supergirl teamed up with the third Batgirl, Stephanie Brown. They hit it off from the start and often fight together. Kara goes to Steph's aid whenever she needs her, and doesn't put up with people picking on her friend.
112	** In ''Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl And Batgirl'', Kara and Barbara are forced to team up. In spite of their differences, both super-heroines manage to work together and become a very effective crime-fighting duo.
113	--->'''Bruce:''' Two cranky girls take down a pillar of society...
114	** In the ''DC Universe Holiday Special 2008: A Day Without Sirens'', Supergirl and Oracle [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SU-kKYaVUmI/AAAAAAAACGc/LKdSPl0ht34/s1600-h/holiday-09.jpg team up to stop all crimes in Gotham during one day]].
115	* LoveMakesYouEvil: In ''Supergirl (2016)'', Cyborg Superman makes horrible, horrible things such like turning corpses into reanimated, soulless zombie cyborgs and making human sacrifices. And everything -''everything''- he does is because he loves his daughter and wants her to be happy. He says "I'm doing this for you!" over and again, and he means it.
116	* LoverTugOfWar: Supergirl and ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} do this in the [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/9/91/Supergirl_Vol_1_7.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081031042042 cover]] of ''Supergirl (1972)'' #7, although that scene doesn't actually happen in the book.
117	* LovesMyAlterEgo:
118	** In ''Action Comics #361'', a boy wanted to date Linda because he suspected that she was Supergirl. When Linda/Kara managed to make him believe she was a normal, powerless girl, he stopped being interested.
119	** During her time working as a photographer in San Francisco, Linda Danvers had a crush on her boss Geoffrey "Geoff" Anderson. Geoff was not interested in Linda but he liked Supergirl. He even kissed her at the end of ''ComicBook/DemonSpawn''. However, Linda quit her job and moved away shortly after, and they never saw each other again.
120	** In imaginary story ''ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen'' #57, Linda and Jimmy marry. However Linda is amnesiac and depowered when the wedding happens, and doesn't remember anything about her SecretIdentity. When Linda regains her memories and her powers she decides she needs to tell Jimmy she is Supergirl but in a tactful way. Her "great" plan was revealing Supergirl's existence to him. Then, as Supergirl, she will make him fall in love with her. Then when he is in love with both Linda and Supergirl, she'll reveal she is one and the same. Surprisingly, her nutty idea worked.
121	* LuckilyMyPowersWillProtectMe:
122	** In ''ComicBook/Supergirl1972'', setting aside Linda Danvers' need to inform readers that she is Supergirl, she is about to use her XRayVision or how her powers work, in issue #2 she flies to the Fortress of Solitude and explains that is her cousin Superman's Fortress of Solitude, which only he and she can unlock with a special massive key.
123	** In the third page of ''ComicBook/Supergirl1982'' #1 Linda Danvers explains she is Supergirl -as she's changing clothes and flying off- and she has SuperSenses. One page later she comments she is using her freezing breath as she blows away and freezes a shower of molten steel.
124	* LukeIAmYourFather:
125	** Subverted with Lesla-Lar. After being disintegrated in ''ComicBook/TheGirlWithTheXRayMind'', her consciousness lived on. In ''ComicBook/StrangersAtTheHeartsCore'', it is revealed her mind has become so messed that she believes she is Supergirl's twin sister's even though Kara points out they cannot possibly be sisters.
126	** In ''ComicBook/Supergirl2011'' #24, super-villain Cyborg Superman gets his memories back... and remembers that he is Supergirl's father. Several months later, in ''ComicBook/Supergirl2016'' #2 he tells Kara he is her father (who she had previously thought dead).
