It’s common for characters to change when adapted from one story to another. Supergirl is a prime example in the superhero world. Depending on who’s writing and the format – comics, TV, movies – Kara Zor-El has been shown as everything from a sweet, innocent newcomer to a determined idealist, and even a world-weary cynic who doesn’t seem interested in being a hero. The recent portrayal of Kara Zor-El by Milly Alcock leans into that cynical interpretation. However, the current Supergirl comic book series presents a vastly different version of the character.
In Supergirl #9, written by Sophie Campbell and illustrated by Joe Quinones, Kara Danvers seeks a little peace and quiet. After dealing with recent challenges, she returns to Midvale – the town where she first lived as Linda Danvers when she arrived on Earth. While there, she reconnects with her adoptive parents and high school friends. She also begins new friendships with Lena Luthor, Lex Luthor’s daughter, and Lesla-Lar, a young Kryptonian from Kandor who was put under Kara’s supervision after pretending to be Supergirl.
The story begins as New Year’s Eve nears, and Kara is excited to shop for outfits with her friends for a party where no alcohol will be served. When Lesla asks what “alcohol” is, Kara attempts to change the subject. This simple question, however, gives Lena Luthor an idea for an experiment, revealing a key difference between the Supergirl we know from the comics and the one in the DC Universe.
What Supergirl comic reveals about Kara Zor-El
Lena developed a liquid form of Perwinkle Kryptonite, a type of Kryptonite that lowers a Kryptonian’s self-control. She intended to weaken it so Lesla would feel a mild, lightheaded sensation, like after having a small beer. However, Lena miscalculated the dilution. Things got even worse when Kara unknowingly drank some of Lesla’s contaminated beverage.
Everything quickly descended into chaos. Lesla started showing off her incredible strength, potentially revealing her and Kara’s secret identities. Meanwhile, Kara immediately began flirting with an attractive man and attempting to kiss him. The situation peaked when Kara, after drinking too much, changed into her Supergirl costume to stop Lesla’s reckless display of power. This led to a fight that completely destroyed the host’s home.
In Supergirl #9, Kara Zor-El is shown drinking, but unlike previous depictions in the DC Universe, it’s not treated as a joke. The comic makes it clear that Kara either doesn’t drink regularly or is very conscious of how dangerous her powers could be if she lost control. Regardless, she’s so upset by what happened that she decides to end her friendships with both Lena and Lesla.
Supergirl #9 is now available at comic shops everywhere.
