  • Within mainstream continuity, several characters have claimed the mantle of "Supergirl" and due to DC Comics' "Multiverse" system of alternative realities, continuity "reboots" as well as stories involving time travel, a number of variant iterations of the character exist in alternative universes. Alternative versions of Supergirl have been featured in various DC comic publications including the "Elseworlds" imprint. Supergirl was originally introduced in Action Comics #252 as the cousin of the publisher's flagship superhero, Superman in the story The Supergirl from Krypton. In most depictions, she is an Alien from the planet Krypton, possessing a multitude of superhuman abilities derived from the rays of a yellow sun. Other mainstream characters have taken the name Supergirl over the years, with decidedly non-extraterrestrial origins, such as a that of a superhuman artificial life-form and later a troubled young woman reborn as an "Earth-born Angel."
