Arriving after Superman, Kara Zor El was born on Argo city, which survived Krypton's explosion after being blown from the planet, but protected by a bubble of oxygen. When her city finally fell, she was launched in a rocket to be with her cousin on Earth. Join www.Watchmojo.com as we explore the origins of Kara Zor El, otherwise known as Supergirl.
Batman: your cousin just torch 50 Thousand dollars worth of Custom Hardware.
Superman: send me the bill.
Batman: On a reporters salary, right.
Gotta love the batman sass
Thanks for that I didn't hear it the first time...
Superman: No, dumb ass. I'll just grab some coal and squeeze out a bunch of diamonds.
Batman: Wait! You can really do that?! Hell, let's talk about some investment plans! All this Bat themed tech ain't cheap!
Funny moments in SBA. so funny at all. 😁😅
As a fellow reporter...
I feel offended 😉😁😂
I love that scene in Smallville when Clark finds out that Kara is his cousin and backs off (obviously VERY disappointed). :p
Lol
Yes, one of my favorites.Such a funny one.
A skirt must be... awkward to fly with.
True, but I kinda like the skirt compared to her shorts she wore in the animated series.
bluevegas01 wore*
Max Smith Thanks. Typing too fast.
Max Smith I'm confused because I see no typo there.
dwarriors16 You can edit posts on youtube. Max pointed out the error in Blueevegas01's spelling and they corrected it. And thus you do not see the typo because it was fixed.
Supergirl flies above Metropolis in a skirt... not the best idea.
I wouldn't complain
***** hey I wouldn't complain its Supergirl, she could have me any way she wants
Markus Flydd. Count it as a blessing.
First comicbook crush....don't judge me.
No judgement, it's the same for me :)
Bermundos
I was worse. I liked Cheetara and April O'Neil.
She-hulk for me :D
Domino is best girl
Bika lant
I love reading your comment in a russian accent.
superman must be thinking
Finally a kryptonian, and shes hot
the only problem is that i cant rebuild my race because shes my cousin )'=
but what if kryptonians have no problem with incest?
***** you genius
Their motto on Krytpon is keep it in the family lol
that didnt stop Adam and Eve's children -_-
k2datrack but God did not establish the sin incest at the time. thats how they multiplied
One thing i never understand:
No one ever thought, that a miniskirt might not the best choice to wear, when you fly through the air?
I don't mind that
When she is creating in the 60s, the girls didn't wear thongs, only large carpets.
im pretty ok with that ;3
she could be wearing modesty shorts under there =/
Hope not :)
BATMAN: Your cousin just torched $50,000 worth of custom hardware!
SUPERMAN: Send me the bill.
BATMAN: On a reporter's salary? Right.
lmao
Batman is the man, even Superman is scared shitless of him. Then again Batman beat the shit out of Superman countless times.
Yup, that's Batman for ya!
I love Batman. Whoever said he's not funny was wrong.
***** Superman is not scared of Batman. Who would rather be? Batman - a mentally haunted individual who is consumed with fighting crime 24/7 because of a vigilante desire to hurt criminals. Or have the God like powers of Superman? Superman has beaten the shit out of Batman as many times. WIthout Kryptonite - Batman beats his meat.
lairdriver I would rather be Batman. In "The Tower of Babel" Batman took out the entire JLA by himself. I have no problem with superman, but I prefer Batman, and as "Angry Joe" said both these men are perfectly capable of beating each other. Btw I do think that superman is too OP.
I can't believe Supergirl is having its season finale. It felt like it was just yesterday
Supergirl is moving to the CW network
Supergirl is even better now on the CW. More action and the effects look better.
Ceikaiyia Cheeks The Director you never know, Perhaps she might end up on the 6th season of Teen Titans when she was discovered
Smallville's Supergirl always be my favorite version of the character
I feel the same about Clark, Lois, Lana, Lex and many others :D
amen to that. good call.
Melissa benoist will always be my supergirl.
Laura Vandervoort was, is and ever will be the best Kara Zor-el/Supergirl of all time !!!
Absolutely. Laura is always my Supergirl.
I've been wondering for so long about the origins of Supergirl. Thank you watchmojo!
When I was a child my planet Krypton was dying. I was sent to earth to protect my cousin.
But my pod got knocked of course and by the time I got here my cousin had already grown
up and become Superman. And so I hid my powers until recently when an accident forced
me to reveal myself to the world. To most people I'm an assistant at CatCo Worldwide Media
But in secret I work with my adoptive sister for the DEO to protect my city from alien life and
anyone else that means to cause it harm. I am SUPERGIRL.
NOBODY FUCKING CARES
You shouldn't think of yourself as a nobody. That is just sad.
Dennis Bowers you know they changed it for season 2
A little bit. They also changed the opening for DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Actually a lot more.
Maria Ximena Otalora Cordoba
Did you notice in the second episode this season they actually show Superman in the opening sequence instead of being obscured by sunglow?
Who came here after seeing the trailer for her new TV show
Me!
Me!

+Nathan Price that and the thumbnail ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL
+Nathan Price The modern day comic Supergirl is much better than the TV Supergirl.
I thought Helen Slater as Supergirl was terrific in the not so terrific movie. If only she had been given a decent plot to follow.
Even she didn't know what the movie was about.
i agree thor
Thor Odinson if this movie was well written it wouldn't even matter if people didn't go see it. It'd be an underrated classic.
Laura Vandervoort was, is and ever will be the best Kara Zor-el/Supergirl of all time. I wish that she is again Kara in the upcomming Supergirl reboot movie ! Nice explanation of the Supergirl arc !!!
This is what I hate about both DC and Marvel: they just can't stick with a coherent storyline. They have to remake each character's story over and over again, going through so many awful versions.
on a reporter's salary. right.
The only family left for superman.
Well there's also Superboy.
Larson Davidson and super dog
And Power girl
@NikSG94 Something against Rao?
From what I know, in the comics Kryptonian's invulnerability is sort of a very thin force field, which allows clothing to be protected too.
Before my car accident I would cosplay Supergirl all the time.
Superman looks almost as majestic as squidward...
+Squall Leonhart *Handsome Squidward
This segment on Supergirl by WatchMojo.com is fascinating and a wonderful examination into the comic book and celluloid life of the female superhero. Excellent.
+Robert Polanco
But why was I covered in diarrhea?
+Vuoto What do you mean by that?
I was deeply infatuated with Hellen Slater in her superrgirl movie...
Happy 60th Anniversary, Supergirl! Here's a little birthday present from me to you!
(Kisses Supergirl)
Hmmm, I'm sure DC actually stands for "Desperately Convenient" story lines.
Agreed.
DC fanboy ladies and gentlemen XD
SuperMeatBoy Yes, I like DC. I fail to see your insult. Supergirl is one of the oldest Comic Book characters there is. There is nothing convenient about her storyline. That was how she was written. Back when there were far less characters. She has been redone a few times to tweak her image.
Ill take DC storylines over Marvel. I like the XMen books - but there are way to many. Avengers is just as bad. Marvel comics are way harder to get into just for that fact alone.
I do like Hulk, Punisher, Blade and Magneto. I don't hate marvel, they just put out to many books. If I bought every Marvel book - i'd be spending at least $200 a month
Um go read the story of powergirl , and ya wow, if you a fan then you should already know this, and supergirls story has been rewritten a few times
lol thats with every comic book franchise. I don't know one popular comic book series that follows one timeline.
Thanks a lot for the video. It's nice to see heroines getting the spotlight they deserve.
she is much better than miss marvel.Miss Marvel vs supergirl.Supergirl is the champion.
I recommend this video who is anyone, who wants to learn how Supergirl first appeared in her earliest years in the comics.
i'm sorry but any Smallville reference is irrelevant -_-
k2datrack Not really. It's no more relevant or irrelevant than Dcau to the comics or MCU. It takes different elements of the comics and creates a new story, no different from any other comic book TV show, movie or cartoon
Such untrue. Smallville is the home of Superman /Kal-el. So Kal-el is Supergirl´s cousin. So it´s verry important and NOT irrelevant !
man, I start to like the new 52 more and more after watching these
My condolences.
Kevin Narvades Whats wrong whit the New 52? Comics aren't popular or common where I am from.
krish698 comics are underrated in my country too
everybody here is complaining that the new supergirl is femmenis, what did you expect? the show is aimed a a female audience.
cuz feminism is man hating cancer
clayton veno true dat
Smallville's Kara Zor-El/Supergirl Laura Vandervoort is my all time favorite version of SG. She was stronger, more confident, fiercer, let loose with her powers and used them more fully as well as more intimidating. She had great moments of action/protecting Clark, teaching him to fly and teaching him about his culture/heritage. Anyone saying Smallville is irelevant in regards to Supergirl couldn't be more wrong. Because Supergirl was certainly a part of Smallville. And Smallville as a series became an avenue for the character to be brought back into DC comics media and for her to be brought to the attention of many more people.
Supergirl is as powerful as Superman. And she has some abilities that he doesn't have - depending on incarnation. She might not be as skilled in Combat but with the right amount of training she would be. She hasn't pushed herself as hard as Superman has either.
i like to think she isnt as strong, just because i like superman alot more.
Inb4 butthurt femenists.
Pladsen94 what kind of reasoning is that?
what do you mean, superman was in JLU alot longer than supergirl and i don't read the comics and i became way bigger fan of superman on the show.
***** Oh bite me, Im a male and any girl could beat the shit out of me
I'm loving New 52 Supergirl. I read mostly Marvel, but thought I'd give this New 52 a look. Kara was always my fav from Justice League Unlimited. Enjoying the book so far.
Amanda Seyfried would make a good Supergirl
the fuck? you damn right she would
Seph Angelo She's so likable. I don't see why not. :)
CosmicUndeadElf That's an excellent choice.
Kara Zor-El, the one and only Supergirl.. although i also like Kara In-Ze and Linda Danvers. I was so happy when she return in Superman/Batman.
I don't know which one I like better Helen Slater or Melissa Benoist!!
i love when u guys do superheros origin keep it up i love it u have my like
Can you do a Powergirl origin??
She rocks and the new TV show is the best yet.
"On a reporter's salary, riiight"
One of the best cousin duos ever.
HISTORY OF WONDERGIRL / DONNA TROY
thank you so much for these videos.. seriously. i normally always have to go do my own research to find the billion continuities and back stories for DC characters and it gets so tiring. but you made it so much easier hahah.. please do Robin, Slade, or even some superhero teams? like birds of prey, teen titans, young justice... etc.
In the supergirl show, they should have given her the sexy cheerleader outfit.
+Asad the great -- They did.
Dennis Bowers I meant the one that shows off her abs and the cleavage.
Too many people complained that Michael Turner's belly shirt version looked like stripper wear and encouraged anorexia.
E Crz well in the supergirl tv series, she should have worn the sexually attractive chearleader outfit with midrift showing.
They wanted it to be a family show, not a show adolescent boys could wank off to.
Do one of the Kara who fought the Xenomorphs.
Wow. What happened to the original Supergirl....that's pretty dark by the standards of comics back then.
***** That's adaptations for you. I've encountered people who hate the character of Howard the Duck purely based on the movie.
I like her "Suspended Animation" Origin, and what happened to Kandor and Argo City, coz I really need to understand that, and I love Laura Vandervoot as Kara, also I love Kara alot.
Laura Vandervoort is my all time favorite Supergirl.
any chance you can do one for Krypto the Superdog?
I did not know about that first Supergirl! That was so sureal! I never thought much of her before but all these versions are so interesting. I think the 2nd one is my favourite.
Noticed this was done in 2013, before the current "Supergirl" series formerly on CBS, now on the CW. Will you do a revamp for 2016, or leave it be?
I love the DCAU Supergirl!!! Soo Awesome!!
Why are there no Superhero origins for Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde)?!? You have one for the She-Hulk!!!!!!!! Come on now!! She's just a rip off of The Hulk and you know it!
Very good story :) I look forward to you guys releasing the Apocalypse Origin. I was the one who suggested it. lol
I think all girls are super :)
Dan is my favorite top 10 host, I love this guy
I thought the storyline of SM sticking SG in an orphanage was pretty Fd up. I am human and I would never do that to a member of my family. Single or married with no dependents he could have easily taken her in.
Liz Hall you couldn't be any more right. That's a genius idea!
Pause at 0:19 does this remind anyone of something or is it just me? : s
+TheGodApollosFarts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
hahahah; you're messed up
+TheGodApollosFarts it's just you
I don't see it. Maybe because I don't have a dirty mind.
Some people are so fucking disgusting
Power Girl is simply Supergirl from another dimension.
i think it's lame when comic characters get female counterparts.
i mean supergirl? really?
agreed. its just such a lazy money grab.
@@djsausagebiscuits like she hulk for example
Exactly, New52 was the perfect chance to have an actual fresh start on some DC comics. Honestly, I was pretty much overwhelmed at how many comics and back stories I'd have to keep up with. Same goes for Marvel, happy they've launched Marvel NOW. Even though the plethora back stories remain, you're still left with great starting points.
to be honest just watch batman superman apocalypse its the best movie of super girl....and it makes way more sense than this... video...
WatchMojo slash Suggest => best way for us to prioritize folks!
This'll probably sound like a dumb question, but which Supergirl was around when Superman died? I know Doomsday was fighting Superman and Doomsday punched Supergirl and she turned into a purple alien thing. And it seems like she was Luthor's property. Was she created or something?
Her named was matrix she was from a world called pocket dimension..
Jay Garrick So I guess that world was like a parallel universe and she joined ours and sided with Luthor? And I'm assuming that Luthor is different too right? I mean he had long hair.
Tina Ho That red headed guy isn’t Lex Luthor!” . Shortly after Superman’s 1986 reboot, Lex Luthor made himself a ring made out of Kryptonite, which he used it to keep Superman at bay. Normally, Kryptonite is harmless to humans but having the ring on all day everyday caused Lex to slowly develop cancer. So, he cloned himself, aged that clone to be in its mid-20s, faked his own death, and then moved his brain over into the clone’s body. Lex claimed that this new body was actually his illegitimate Australian son named Lex Luthor II. All that matters is that Matrix thought that our Lex looked like the Lex that created her and she loved him for it.
Jay Garrick I appreciate the info. Message boards online were saying so many different things and there are years between times I've read comics so I get thrown off a lot.
Tina Ho Is not so complicated compared to hawkman and donna troy history..
Can't wait to see the Batgirl origin story next.
Looks like a cheerleader.
Cheerleader that could destroy the world.

Reginald Patterson sorry R.P., I got a Mac.
I believe it's compatible
A Supergirl reboot movie is in the works.
What about the Supergirl who was a shape changer and had an affair with Lex Luthor?
They were focusing on one version of her. I guess the original version. Talking about the others may have taken too long.
i love ur vids man
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS DO THE OLD ORIGINS . JESUS
You probably don’t even remember your cousin, Superman. But you two go way back.
beewbs
One of the best cosplays there are
Good job man
The comic strip from the Superman family adventures has changed from time to time.
Supergirl got her own TV show starring Melissa Benoist.
And thus, the Girl of Steel was born.
I love supergirl Brandon Kohout well me too
this is really touching!
this looks good, gonna check it out.
FANTASTIC :) :) She soo awesome
"Send me the bill" "Right on a reporter's salary" nailed it batman
Supergirl Actress Helen Slater Laura Vandervoort Melissa Benoist Sasha Calle & Milly Alcock
The Girl of Steel
SMALVILLE, BEST VERSION KARA! BEATIFUL...
Please do the members of the Teen Titans: Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Wonder Girl.
that's a very good comic good sir, take care of it.
I just love Supergirl!!
what happend in smallville was that kara's ship chrashed into a leak and she stayed in that leak for 17 years in a stasis sleep mode or something, clark was fighting bizzarro and the leak got destroyed and kara awoke
Batman: and your cousin just torched 50,000 dollars of my hardware. Superman: send me the bill Batman: you're not rich.
Happy birthday to Kara Zor-el aka Supergirl her birthday is September 22, Blessings and hugs!
From what I have seen you guys at WatchMojo do a lot of Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern villains when it comes to DC. I think you should bring in some new DC villains for origins! Maybe Captain Cold (The Flash), The Cheetah (Wonder Woman), Black Manta (Aquaman), or Mr. Mind and the Monster Society of Evil (Captain Marvel/Shazam).
I like Supergirl. She's awesome. I always thought her and Batgirl should have a TV series of their own. :)
Well one of your wishes have been granted
What I recommend is that you pick a(n) artist/writer/character you like and start there (you may end up reading books you otherwise wouldn't have). Also, superhero comics aren't the only books out there, plenty of genres to read, like, 'Fables' by Bill Willingham [fantasy] or 'Locke & Key' by Joe Hill [horror]. You still have to buy the older comics, albeit, there are cheaper trade paperbacks (collected issues in book format). Comixology (.) com, has some free books that you can try, though.
Supergirl was awesome in the Superman Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited and Melissa Benoist was beautiful great as Supergirl in the Supergirl TV series.
SMALLVILLE IS AN EPiC SHOW ITS SOOO AMAZING!!!!
It an absolutely incredible series. My absolute favorite.
the way michael turner drew supergirl was always my favorite
Excellent summary. I've always liked Supergirl.
I LOVE THAT KARA IS WAY OLDER THAN SUPERMAN BUT HE TREATS HERE LIKE A LITTLE GIRL
Suggestions :
The Doctor
Taskmaster
Deathstroke/Slade
All of the other Robins (well, the more well known ones like Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damien Wayne)
Stephanie Brown (Robin, Batgirl and the Creeper)
do one on Black Manta, Captain Cold, or Barry Allen as Flash. A Deathstroke one would be cool as well. Maybe even Batgirl or Robin(Jason Todd) or Robin(Tim Drake)
