| Before the destruction of the planet Krypton, Kal-El is sent to Earth along with his cousin Kara Zor-El. The planet's implosion forces her ship off course and into the Phantom Zone for 24 years, before landing on Earth. Kal, now operating as the vigilante "Superman" in Metropolis, puts Kara in the care of the Danvers in National City. Twelve years later, Kara, working at the media conglomerate CatCo, reveals her powers as a vigilante. She tells her co-worker, Winn Schott, about her secret and he starts aiding her. Her cold-hearted boss, Cat Grant, titles the vigilante "Supergirl". Alex, Kara's adoptive sister, is revealed to be working at the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), under the leadership of Hank Henshaw, investigating alien activity. Kara learns that there are hundreds of aliens on Earth, most of whom came from a prison that was run by her mother, Alura. Her actions attract the attention of an alien called Vartox, and she is able to defeat him, who kills himself. James Olsen, another one of Kara's colleagues, reveals that Kal sent him to look after her and presents her with a new cape. Vartox's superior is revealed to be Astra In-Ze, Alura's identical twin sister, who wants to conquer Earth. | |||||||

As Kara and Astra fight, Hank injures Astra with a Kryptonite knife and Alex kills the Hellgrammite. Learning that Kara has become more powerful than she had imagined and that humanity has a means of weakening Kryptonians, Astra muses that her "plans" may need to be postponed.
