Character Name: Kara Zor-El
Codename: Supergirl
Alignment: Good
Powers: Under a yellow sun, Kara possesses... and I quote, "vast super strength, speed & stamina; various extra sensory and vision powers (including super hearing, x-ray vision, telescopic vision, microscopic vision, and heat vision); tremendous lung capacity and super breath (wind and ice); invulnerability and flight." She is also a capable martial artist, as she trained with the Amazons for a time.
Bio: Kara is, technically, Kal-El's older cousin. She was sent off in a rocket ship just before Krypton's destruction, and headed for earth. Unfortunately, her ship became caught in a large meteorite of green Kryptonite; as such, her ship held her in a state of suspended animation for an extended period of time. When she finally made it to earth and was reanimated, she appeared to be--and, for all intents and purposes, was-- much younger that Kal-El. Since that time, she has worked with her cousin, the Teen Titans, and occasionally even the Justice League, although most of the members believe her to be too immature for an actual post.
Extra: Is very vulnerable to Kriptonite, obviously, though there has been evidence that she is a little less effected by it then her cousin is. She also has the rest of Superman's weaknesses, i.e. magic, mind control, yadda yadda.
