It’s pretty obvious that Supergirl has always been a tough gal in her own right but did you know that she was originally sent to Earth to basically babysit Superman? According to the comics and CW series, Kara Zor-El – played by Melissa Benoist – was sent from her hastily deteriorating home planet of Krypton to protect her younger cousin, Kal-El.
This Girl of Steel has been known to inspire women of all ages for decades, including singer LIGHTS who has thanked Supergirl and Wonder Woman, respectively, in her album thank you’s for all their efforts and heroism.
