Plot Synopsis

Based on characters from DC Comics, SUPERGIRL follows the adventures of Kara Danvers (aka Supergirl). Born on the planet Krypton as Kara Zor-El, she escaped amid its destruction years ago when her birth mother, Alura Zor-El, sent her across space. Since arriving on Earth and being taken in by the Danvers, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Kara works as an assistant to Cat Grant, a self-made media magnate and founder of CatCo, who started her career as a reporter and has built her company into a global powerhouse. At CatCo, she also works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and James Olsen, a former photographer at the "Daily Planet" who recently is Cat's new art director and has been living and working in National City -- though the reason is still a secret. Kara's foster sister, Alex, has been fascinated by Kara's powers from a young age, and had developed a lifelong obsession with science, inspiring her to become a doctor. As Kara accepts her fate as Supergirl, she also protects the citizens of National City from sinister threats, helping Hank Henshaw, a onetime CIA agent who now runs the Department of Extra-Normal Operations, which tracks extraterrestrial threats on the planet Earth.
