SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El
(Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of
keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her
superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’
help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on
Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of
her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the
phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her
identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City
assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe
Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s
former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art
director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over
when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where
her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of
National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way
to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships,
her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.
