Supergirl (also known as Cir-El or Mia) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.[1] Created by writer Steven Seagle and artist Scott McDaniel, she first appeared in Superman: The 10¢ Adventure #1 (2003) as the alleged daughter of Superman. She is later found to be a human girl who was genetically altered by the villain Brainiac to appear Kryptonian. The character dies thwarting a plot involving Brainiac 13. Superman (vol. 2) #200 implies that when the timeline realigned itself, Cir-El was erased from existence.

Fictional character biography

Superman: The 10¢ Adventure

When a crazed villain named Radion attacks Metropolis, a young girl in a costume leaps into battle and throws the villain into a nuclear reactor. The girl identifies herself as Supergirl, Superman's daughter. When Superman confronts the girl, she claims to be Cir-El, the daughter of Superman and Lois Lane, who originates from the future and was brought to the past by the Futuresmiths.[2][3][4][5] When Superman encounters the Futuresmiths, they show him a future dominated by robotic monsters and a cybernetic version of Superman, which they claim will only be prevented by Cir-El's death. As the Futuresmiths turn to attack Cir-El, Superman flies her to safety.[6] robot Kelex subsequently confirms that Cir-El is a human-Kryptonian hybrid who is not related to Superman.[7]

Rewritten history

Disaster strikes when a future Superman appears and shows Superman a future where Lois Lane is killed, Wonder Woman and Batman are turned into cyborgs by a nano-tech virus, and Cir-El is trapped in a Brainiac robot. Brainiac reveals that he created Cir-El by grafting Kryptonian DNA onto a human body, gave her false memories, and made her a carrier of the nano-virus.[2][3][4][5][8] Horrified, Cir-El throws herself into a time portal to prevent herself from being born and alter the future.[9][2][3][4][8]

The return of Cir-El

Thanks to the time-traveling efforts of Bizarro in Superman/Batman #24, Cir-El returns and joins Linda Danvers, Kara Zor-El, and Power Girl to rescue Superman from the Source. However, Superman does not recognize Cir-El due to her originating from an erased timeline.[3][8][10]

Powers and abilities

A hybrid of human/Kryptonian origin, Cir-El possesses the standard abilities of Kryptonians, including immense strength, durability, speed, hearing, and flight.[10] She can release stored energy from her hands as blasts of red solar radiation that generate intense heat and force.[11]
