Issue Description

Overview

The new Supergirl appears, claiming to be the real Supergirl, and fights Kara. Real Supergirl says that maybe Kara got split off from her in one of many various ways, but Kara is a blight, and not at all what a real Supergirl would be like. She asks that Kara step aside, so Real Supergirl can make things right. Kara agrees, and is absorbed by Real Supergirl. But then Real Supergirl shatters, revealing Kara underneath. She realizes that she has had mind games played on her, and confronts the shatters of Real Supergirl, who is revealed to be Dark Angel, who has been testing her. They fight, but Dark Angel is stopped by a Monitor. He reassigns Dark Angel, and tells Kara the stuff she was seeing on Earth was part of a test of individuals who were supposed to have died in the crisis, but lived. These anomalies were tested in order to ensure their veracity in this world. But he also tells her the memories of her journey to Earth is fact. He then leaves her to "go live."

Volume Description

Starring: Kara Zor-El as Supergirl

Following her reintroduction to the DC Universe in Superman / Batman # 8 (May 2004), Superman's cousin - Kara Zor - El received her own title. Written by Jeff Loeb and illustrated by Ian Churchill, the fourth series featured a Supergirl still getting accustomed to life on Earth. In her first adventure she met the Justice Society, only to be attacked by member Power Girl. When that fight ended, Power Girl warned Kara that she sensed a growing darkness in her - and this was something that was explored in later issues of this title.
