Kara Zor-El (Benoist) was sent to Earth from the doomed planet Krypton as a 13-year-old by her parents Zor-El (Robert Gant) and Alura Zor-El (Laura Benanti). Alura gave her instructions to protect her infant cousin Kal-El, and informed her that she would have enormous powers under Earth's yellow sun.

But her spacecraft was diverted by a shock wave from Krypton's explosion. The craft landed in the Phantom Zone, and time stopped for her. Eventually the pod escaped, and she landed on Earth, and was still 13 but 24 years had passed on Earth. Kal-El had now become Superman, and escorted her out of the craft. He took her to be adopted by his friends, the Danvers family. The main series begins years later when she was 24, and must learn to embrace her powers after previously hiding them.[1]

The Danvers family teaches Kara to be careful with her powers, until she has to reveal them during an unexpected disaster, setting her on her journey of heroism even when it comes to protecting National City.[2] Kara discovers that hundreds of the criminals her mother Alura Zor-El prosecuted on Krypton are hiding on Earth, including her mother's twin sister Astra (also played by Benanti), who seeks to rule the world. In addition, Kara learns that her new ally, Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), may have secret agendas of his own, but Alex, and eventually Kara secretly discovers that Henshaw is actually a benevolent alien refugee, J'onn J'onzz, who has resided on Earth for centuries after an apocalyptic event on his homeworld of Mars. J'onn infiltrated the DEO to reform the organization as well as to watch over both Alex and Kara in addition to guiding the latter in the use of her powers due to his experience with his own abilities. Kara is also being targeted by Earth's criminals as the result of her being related to Superman. She is aided by a few close friends and family who guard her secrets, which also serves as a major plot in high tech mogul Maxwell Lord's (Peter Facinelli) scheme to expose Kara's identity.
