For those who don’t know, Supergirl is coming to TV this fall and is based off the comic and character of the same name from DC Comics. Supergirl’s real name is Kara Zor-El. She is the older cousin of, arguably, the most famous comic book character of all time: Superman. She too is from the same doomed planet of Krypton and was sent to Earth for safety. She has the same powers and vulnerabilities as her cousin. This show is set to tell us her beginnings, her origin story as she becomes a hero all of her own. As she becomes…Supergirl.

One of the awesome trends happening in pop culture entertainment the last few years is the influx of high-quality TV shows based on comic books. A combination of great screenwriters and comic book writers working together with TV producers and directors have brought the Marvel and DC universes to the small screen. As a result, we’ve got Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Constantine, with others in the works such as Daredevil, Teen Titans, Agent Carter, Supergirl and The Defenders. Who knows what else!

As new viewers and fans watch these shows, it’s often challenging to know who’s who, especially if you haven’t read the comics religiously. Several characters are introduced and they may have a deep history in the comic universe, and just knowing a little bit more about these characters creates a more immersive and complete viewing experience. We’ve done the work for you.
