Pre-Crisis History
Kara Zor-El was sent to Earth from the spaceborne Kryptonian Argo City by her parents Zor-El and Allura to escape death by Kryptonite poisoning. Kara's rocket was found on Earth by her cousin, Superman. She posed as orphan Linda Lee, often wearing a brunette wig when not acting as Supergirl. Later, she was adopted by Fred and Edna Danvers, becoming Linda Lee Danvers.

Kara gave her life battling the Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths

Post-Crisis History
A protoplasmic lifeform appeared after the Crisis, asking Superman for help. It would later become Supergirl (Linda Danvers).

However, Kara Zor-El has recently been sighted on Earth. Her ship had become stuck to a piece of the planet Krypton, delaying her arrival. She is uncertain of herself after finding an older Superman rather than the young Kal-El she was supposed to watch after. Darkseid attempted to manipulate her.

Since her 'return' Kara has been short-tempered when meeting other heroes. However, Lex Luthor recently exposed Kara to Black Kryptonite, which apparently removed some of her negative emotions.
