The girl identified herself as Supergirl, Superman's daughter. Upset, Lois confronted Superman, accused him of having an affair, and refused to believe his claim of innocence, since "Supergirl" looked just like him. However after a cup of the new "Yes" coffee, Lois suddenly calmed down and dismissed "Supergirl" as a villain's hoax, until she landed in front of Lois and called her "Mommy." Superman confronted the girl, who argued that she was his daughter with Lois, and that her name was Cir-El. Cir-El said that she was from the future, brought to the past by the Futuresmiths. When Superman encountered the Futuresmiths, they showed him a horrific future, with robotic monsters attacking civilians, and he saw himself as a cybernetic Superman attacking civilians, too. They said that Cir-El's death would prevent this future, and as they turned to attack her, Superman flew her to safety. S.T.A.R. Labs confirmed that she was his daughter, but that Lois wasn't her mother. But Superman came to regard Cir-El as family.

Cir-El helped Superman fight off a diseased Bizarro, fought off a vengeance crazed superhuman ninja who was killing Superman with the aid of Natasha Irons and Girl 13, and when Superman and Batman were "captured" by Lex Luthor in Superman/Batman "Public Enemies," Cir-El teamed up with Superboy, Krypto, Natasha Irons, and the Batman Family to rescue them. But Superman had a shock when, while talking to Cir-El, she changed into an angry young woman named Mia, who hated her Cir-El persona.

Brought to the past from the distant future, Cir-El is an excitable woman eager to meet her father.

===Futuresmiths===
Disaster struck when a future Superman appeared and showed Superman of a devastating future with Lois dying, Wonder Woman and Batman turned into cyborgs by a nano-tech virus concealed in "Yes" coffee, and Cir-El trapped in a giant Brainiac robot. Brainiac revealed that Cir-El was his "Trojan Horse," that he had concealed part of himself in the one thing he knew Superman would never harm, his child. Cir-El was created by Brainiac by grafting Superman's DNA onto the body of Mia. He then implanted false memories in Cir-El and had his servants, the Futuresmiths send her into the past (along with the nano-virus, which was placed in "Yes" coffee to proliferate the virus and infect the population) in order to unknowingly alter the future, and lead Superman to create a synthetic body to save Lois from her "Yes" infection in the future (for Brainaic to inhabit). Horrified, Cir-El threw herself into a time portal to prevent herself from being born, and thus, prevent the future from ever happening.

When a crazed villain named Radion attacked Metropolis, a young girl in a costume leaped into battle and threw the villain into a nuclear reactor (in front of a TV news crew and Lois Lane). The girl identified herself as Supergirl, Superman's daughter. Finding herself in an alley, an unremarkable girl struggled to stand so she could pet a cat. She was picked up forcefully by a vagabond who wanted to eat the cat and the girl. Changing into ''Cir-El'', the girl saved herself from the man and threatened him not to return to the city.

Dragged away by her father, Cir-El was taken far enough away from Metropolis that her outbursts wouldn't cause any critical damage.

Eventually, Superman was dragged into the future. The home of the Futuresmiths was a fortress that contained doors to the future.

Superman saw what he would become in the future. He would become a robotic nightmare carrying his crest upon his chest and attacking civilians.

Supergirl src

Cir-El is the young, time traveling hero known as Supergirl.

Brought to the past from the distant future, Cir-El is an excitable woman eager to meet her father. But when a secret plot coordinated by the mysterious Futuresmiths is revealed, it is left to Superman and his daughter Cir-El to discover the hidden machinations of the future and save the world from what it might become.

Futuresmiths

 Main article: Superman Vol 2

In deep space, from a distant future, a young woman was brought to the past in order to prevent a devastating future.[1] The Futuresmiths have brought Supergirl to the past and have restricted her from meeting her father, Superman.[2] When the time was right the Futuresmiths allowed Cir-El to meet her father, she leapt at the opportunity.[3] When a villain named Radion attacked Metropolis, Cir-El leaped into the fray and threw the villain into a nuclear reactor. When the media accused her of murdering the man, Cir-El identified herself as Superman's Daughter and stated that she actually saved the radioactive villain, not harming him.

When a crazed villain named Radion attacked Metropolis, a young girl in a costume leaped into battle and threw the villain into a nuclear reactor (in front of a TV news crew and Lois Lane). The girl identified herself as Supergirl, Superman's daughter. Finding herself in an alley, an unremarkable girl struggled to stand so she could pet a cat. She was picked up forcefully by a vagabond who wanted to eat the cat and the girl. Changing into Cir-El, the girl saved herself from the man and threatened him not to return to the city. Leaping away, Cir-El landed in front of Clark Kent and Lois Lane having lunch when she announced she was their daughter.[4]

Dragged away by her father, Cir-El was taken far enough away from Metropolis that her outbursts wouldn't cause any critical damage. Confronting her father, Cir-El pleaded with him to understand that she truly was his daughter but he wouldn't listen. Returning to Metropolis after witnessing an explosion, Superman and Cir-El fought Radion alongside Viceroy and finally defeated the villain. Returning home without his daughter, Superman and Lois discussed the appearance of their daughter, Cir-El.[5]

Eventually, Superman was dragged into the future. The home of the Futuresmiths was a fortress that contained doors to the future. One of which held the home of Cir-El, where a machine revolt turned the earth into a barren wasteland. However, Superman wasn't meant to see that future or the citadel of the Futuresmiths. Superman saw what he would become in the future. He would become a robotic nightmare carrying his crest upon his chest and attacking civilians. Superman rescued Cir-El from the Futuresmiths upon learning his future and took her back home to Metropolis where he ran a DNA test to see if she was truly his daughter. She was.[6]

After her return to Metropolis, Superman was sent away on another mission and left Supergirl on her own. Cir-El was whisked away to the Fortress of Solitude where she was pushed in by the Futuresmiths and met Krypto, the Super-Dog. Unfortunately, on her way in she broke off a piece of equipment. At the same time, Superman had contracted a virus that severely weakened him. Fleeing to the Fortress of Solitude, he collapsed on the ground by his daughter where she lay after being knocked unconscious by a large impact.[7]

Waking up in a fit, Cir-El was greeted by Kelex who was trying to heal an injured Superman. After finding out that her father was infected by an ancient Kryptonian virus, Cir-El was scanned by the Fortress' computers and found out she wasn't full Kryptonian. Whoever created her did so by using Superman as a genetic model for a human girl. However, Superman was needed and left with his "daughter" to Metropolis to battle Bizarro.[8]

Mia

With Bizarro out of the way, Cir-El was eager to interact with her father when a Red Sun Burst returned Mia to the present. Mia, the alter ego of Cir-El, was an angry woman who resented Cir-El and especially resented Superman. Escaping from Superman, Mia changed her attire and ventured into the seedy side of Metropolis.

However, they were urgently called away to Metropolis where something was happening to the populace. Meeting up with Dr. Metropolis, Cir-El and her father found a fast moving robot zooming about the city. Cir-El recognizes the machine as her future father, Superman of the Futuresmiths.

To save the future, Superman must battle the Futuresmiths in their fortress from the future. If he does not, not only does humanity falter but Cir-El, his daughter, would die.[11]

Traveling to the future, Superman and his distant future self traveled through time discovering the dystopian future that must be prevented. Batman, Wonder Woman, Smallville, Paradise Island, Gotham City, they all fall because of the machinations of the Futuresmiths. But the Futuresmiths created themselves, engineered from the future to effect the past to ensure themselves. Lois Lane, the Futuresmiths, Lex Luthor, they were all pawns that were moved into position by Brainiac 12.
