Hello, my name is Angela. I'm a writer. I aspire to one day publish my own books and work for the comic book industry. I love meeting new people so feel free to add me but know that add me unless you really want to be my friend. I'm not here to be a notch on one's friend's list.
In 2004, Kara Zor-El was reintroduced into DC continuity in the Superman/Batman series. Like the pre-Crisis version, this Kara claims to be the daughter of Superman's uncle Zor-El and his wife Alura. Ironically the Post-Crisis Kara is actually older than Kal-El (Superman); she was a teenager when he was a baby. When Krypton exploded, she was sent in a rocket (in suspended animation) to find and look after Superman. However, her rocket got caught in a huge chunk of the planet and she arrived on Earth years after her cousin did. After some initial confusion, Kara was found by Superman and trained by Wonder Woman. She was captured by Darkseid, and after being brainwashed, attacked her own cousin. Superman defeated her and returned her to Earth, where he faked her death so Darkseid would not come looking for her. She then assumed the role of Supergirl. But she felt out of place, not sure where she really belonged. She was uncomfortable with her cousin's overprotectiveness, and couldn't hang out with Power Girl since their powers went haywire when they touched. She found kindred spirits in her other "cousin" Superboy, and fellow alien Starfire.
Her self-discovery was interrupted when Lex Luthor used black kryptonite to split her into a good Kara and an evil Kara. The evil Supergirl stated that she was sent to Earth by Zor-El for the sole purpose of killing the infant Kal-El. Zor-El had devised a special crystal that would influence her personality as she travelled to Earth, making her "innocent," thus creating the good side of Kara's personality. However, the good side became dominant. It is important to note that it has not been established if the evil Kara was correct. Her memories of the past may (or may not) have been corrupted by Darkseid.
At the climax of the struggle between the two Supergirls and the Justice League, the good Kara urged Wonder Woman to use her golden lasso of truth to bind the two together and ask them: "Who is Kara Zor-El?" The two Supergirls fused back into a single good Kara, who decided her past wasn't important and acknowledged Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman as her foster parents.
