Who is Supergirl? Kara Danvers has learned a lot about her super abilities, her strength as a friend and as a sister, her love of being human and alien at the same time. And now sheÕll need to pull it all together to defeat her most dangerous foe to date!

After escaping the destruction of her home planet, Kara Zor-El is taken in by the loving Danvers family, who taught her to keep her incredible powers a secret, but when her powers are the only thing that can save the people and the city she loves, she takes to the skies above National City.

The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.

After the murder of her father, Supergirl has scoured Earth for his killer-Reactron. But now that all Kryptonians are banned from the planet, she’s gone from friend to fugitive overnight.

When Reactron and his yellow Kryptonite joins the Squad, the Girl of Steel finds her target coming at her! Can Supergirl bring Reactron to New Krypton to stand trial, if on Earth he is the hero and she the villain? How far will she go to deliver justice on a world that no longer believes in it…or her?
