For more than 65 years, Supergirl has been one of DC Comics' most recognizable heroes... but there hasn't just been one Supergirl.

From Queen Lucy of Borgonia and the mysterious Claire Kent, to Kara Zor-El, Power Girl, Matrix, Linda Danvers, Cir-El and beyond, the Supergirl identity has been reinvented again and again across reboots, crises, alternate Earths and editorial mandates.

In this video we'll explore the evolution of Supergirl, from her earliest appearances in the Silver Age all the way through the modern era, uncovering forgotten versions, surprising first appearances, and some truly bizarre comic book history along the way.

You'll discover:
🔹 The first character to use the name Supergirl
🔹 The Supergirl who wasn't Kryptonian
🔹 Why Power Girl is actually Supergirl
🔹 The Supergirl who was literally sentient goo
🔹 The future daughter of Superman and Lois Lane
🔹 Supergirl's first animated appearance
🔹 Supergirl's first video game appearance
🔹 How Kara Zor-El finally returned to DC continuity

Whether you're a lifelong DC fan or just curious about one of comics' most enduring heroes, there's a lot more to Supergirl's history than most people realize.

"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Supergirl!" Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El, first live-action appearance was in the 1984 movie 'Supergirl', played by Helen Slater. The character would go on to be played by Laura Vandervoort in the series 'Smallville', before getting her own series in 2015 and being portrayed by Melissa Benoist. The Kryptonian character would return in 2023's 'The Flash' and was played by Sasha Calle. Now, the character returns to the big screen once again in DC Studio's 'Supergirl', which stars Milly Alcock as the title character and opens in theaters on June 26th. In honor of the film, Moviefone is counting down every live-action appearance of Supergirl, including films and television series. NOTE: For this list we are not including cameos, so Alcock's appearances in 'Superman' and 'Peacemaker' season 2 or Benoist's appearances on other Arrowverse shows will not count. Let's begin!

The Supergirl TV Show - Caravan Of Garbage

It's time to enter the universe of Earth-38, more commonly referred to as The Arrowverse. Amazingly we're haven't really covered much of this in Caravan Of Garbage and the Supergirl 2015 series seems a good a place as any. This version again sees the character of Kara Zor-El arrive from Krypton a little late to encounter a fully grown Superman and finds herself directionless despite having all the powers all of the time. Blending a bit of The Flash/Arrow with the likes of Alley McBeal/The Devil Wears Prada it definitely does its own thing for good or ill or for middling results whilst also managing to introduce characters like Martian Manhunter, Bizarro Supergirl, Tyler Hoechlin's Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olson, Brainiac, Maxwell Lord, Lex Luthor and more! Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

DC Doesn't Know What To Do With Supergirl

Supergirl has been part of DC for more than 40 years, but unlike characters such as Superman or Batman, her path has never been straightforward.

This video explores Supergirl’s journey across films, TV, animated universes, reboots, alternate timelines, and entirely different interpretations of the same character. From her failed attempt at becoming a movie franchise in 1984, to years spent as a supporting player, to her rise as a television lead and the many reinventions that followed, Supergirl has constantly been reshaped into something new.

5 Superhero TV Shows That Got Worse With Every Season

A decade ago, it seemed that superhero television shows were a dime a dozen. Almost every major network aired some sort of comic book-inspired program, and streamers eventually caught up to the craze. While there was once a time when superheroes on television were somewhat hard to come by, that all changed in the 2010s. Comic book fans everywhere were delighted that their favorite heroes could now be revisited on the small screen, be they DC Comics or Marvel — but some shows were more consistent than others.

While we've already highlighted the five biggest superhero shows that changed the genre forever, this time around, we're putting a spotlight on five series — both live-action and animated — that failed to stick the landing. Over the course of every new season, the quality of these once-promising programs diminished, straying away from what made them great to begin with and leading to an inevitable cancellation that (often) is somewhat tragic looking back.

From traditional superhero fare to alternate universe shenanigans, and to the exploration of how superpowers might interact with our world, these are the shows that struggled to maintain the high quality they offered at the beginning. Make no mistake, we still love them for what they are. But there's also no denying that they got worse with every new season.

Supergirl

When "Supergirl" first aired on CBS, it was its own thing, divorced from the growing trend of the superhero shared universes on "Arrow," "The Flash," and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow." Meant to be a modern reinterpretation of the Maiden of Might, the series showed promise from the start, even after giving in and crossing over with "The Flash" after 18 episodes. But once the network pulled the plug, The CW took over — and it was all downhill from there.

Aside from introducing frustrating romances and sidelining the Man of Steel himself (played by Tyler Hoechlin, who would later headline his own unrelated but superior series, "Superman & Lois"), "Supergirl" continued to spiral into what essentially amounted to a mixture of self-parody and constant virtue signaling. The longer the series ran, the more overtly preachy it got, trading in most of the fun superheroics that drew us to Melissa Benoist's Supergirl in the first place for a half-baked attempt to "say something" about the world on the other side of the TV screen.

"Supergirl" held a boatload of potential, and while it still had its moments in future seasons (like Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor), it ultimately failed to live up to its own expectations. The first season was fun, cheerful, and perfectly embodied the youthful optimism of the comic book character. The last season, well, let's just say there was a reason "Supergirl" ended when it did.
