HOTW- Supergirl

 

From Wiki- Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) also known by her adoptive names of Linda Lee, Kara Kent, Linda Lang, and Kara Danvers, is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She was created by Otto Binder and designed by Al Plastino. Danvers first appeared in the story "The Supergirl from Krypton" in Action Comics #252 (May 1959). Kara is the biological cousin of Kal-El, who went on to adopt the name of Clark Kent and the superhero identity Superman. Her father, Zor-El, is the brother of Superman's father, Jor-El. During the 1980s and the revolution of the Modern Age of Comics, Superman editors believed the character's history had become too convoluted, thus killing Supergirl during the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and retconning her out of existence.  Back to me-

We all know what my views on the perplexing and nearly needless Crisis are.   I did not have a great deal of interaction with this original Supergirl, since I was not reading many DC comics.  I didn't mind her at all, and always enjoyed her teaming up with her cousin Superboy in the future.  I wonder if Superman ever got those memories back from that super-hypnosis block for when he returned to his own time.  I also quite enjoyed the Supergirl TV series.  I miss original Earth One.
