The daughter of Jor-El's brother, Zor-El and his wife, Alura. She is Superman's cousin. Kara was born in deep space aboard the fragment of Krypton containing Argo City enclosed in a protective bubble.
Upon it's tragic destruction by a deadly meteor shower that ripped through the lead shielding and exposing the Green Kryptonite, Kara was rocketed to Earth as a teen by her parents where she first met her famous cousin, Superman.
