Kara (Earth-X)


 * For her Earth Thirty-Eight equivalent, see Kara Danvers.

"Peace is overrated!"

- Kara

Kara was a villainous Nazi general from Earth-X and refugeed Kryptonian. She was also the wife of Oliver Queen and together they ruled over Earth-X.

Biography
Kara landed on Earth-X from her planet in a space pod. Oliver and Kara at some point became generals and married each other. Allegedly, her sister tried to kill her, but was clearly unsuccessful.

Personality
In stark contrast to her Earth Thirty-Eight counterpart, who is compassionate, kind, merciful, and humble, Earth-X Kara is a dedicated Nazi fanatic who is cruel, sadistic, homicidal, smug and arrogant. She clearly revels in violence and in hurting others (to the point of gleefully opening fire on Central City civilians on the Nazi Waverider and wanting to turn the city "into a mausoleum"). She also enjoys smugly mocking and taunting her foes, such as noting that she'd "hate" to hurt Green Arrow's "handsome face" due to his resemblance to her husband, or her mockingly noting that, since her counterpart Supergirl is all about saving lives, she should "logically" want to give up her life to save Overgirl's, and then taunting her again when the latter was being prepared for the heart-transplant Earth-X Kara needed to survive.

Like her husband, Kara is vocally contemptuous and derisive in her regard for her counterpart and her friend's commitment to heroism and heroic ideals and never passed up an opportunity to rip into and mock her counterpart in particular, essentially acknowledging that she is evil and seeming to be by all appearances proud of it.

In yet another difference between herself and her Earth Thirty Eight counterpart, Kara considered herself inherently superior to humans based on her alien physiology, even going as far as to claim that she and Earth-Thirty Eight Kara were "gods" and so ought to dominate and control others rather than waste energy protecting the "weak". She also noted that, as a blonde, light-skinned superhuman, she did technically fit the Nazi's notions of the "Master Race", which she attempted to use as an argument to her counterpart for embracing Nazi despotism and tyranny. Above all, Kara despised any show of weakness, apologizing to her husband for appearing weak whilst dying from her condition, but also earlier berating him for showing any hesitation against their enemies when her own life was on the line, arguing that he should kill their enemies anyway "for the Fatherland".

Powers

 * Kryptonian physiology: Normally, like all Kryptonians, Kara's capabilities are no greater than a normal human of her physical conditioning. However, once charged by the energy of a blue or yellow sun and metabolized into her body, she becomes able to perform various inhuman feats.
 * Solar energy absorption: While Kara's powers are dependent on the energy spectrum from a blue or yellow sun, her body is able to constantly and passively absorb such energy while exposed to it, essentially keeping her reserves fully charged near-constantly. Direct exposure to sunlight will also accelerate her recovery from any injuries she does manage to sustain.
 * Accelerated healing factor: Kara's solar charged metabolism accelerates her healing and allows her to burn calories at a fast rate, making her resilient to weight gain. Upon being struck by an alien war hammer which penetrated the skin of her arm, when the piece was removed she healed instantly.
 * Contaminant immunity: Kara has an immunity to all forms of disease and contaminants on Earth. This immunity can extend to similar contaminants or chemicals from most other worlds.
 * Flight: Kara is able to manipulate her own gravitational field to generate thrust and propel herself through the air, often at supersonic speeds, much faster than she can travel by foot. As such, she is able to levitate and fly past Earth's atmosphere and near the planet's orbit.
 * Super leaping: Kara is able to jump several stories in a single bound without having to fly.
 * Heat vision: By concentrating every solar energy reserve she has in her body, Kara can emit blue energy beams of variable intensity from her eyes. Due to her control over the beams, she has demonstrated being capable of burning through stone and welding metal, causing small explosions and fires, and physically repelling enemies with similar durability, making it useful in combat. At full power, the beams could overload a target with energy, as it did to Vartox's axe and Red Tornado, as well as potentially damage highly durable enemies, as she was able to use it to leave Non blinded and seemingly unconscious when she overwhelmed his own heat vision. However, she has personally utilized it for more mundane uses, such as heating up beverages and cooking food.
 * Invulnerability: Kara is essentially invulnerable to all Earthly weapons, with bullets simply ricocheting whenever they come into contact with her skin.
 * Atmospheric adaption: While Kryptonians do require oxygen, their physicality allows them to survive while inhaling more harsh forms of it.
 * Longevity: As a Kryptonian, Kara's life span is considerably longer than a normal human and likewise ages much slower.
 * Super breath: Kara is able to exhale powerful gusts of air from her mouth which are similar to force winds. She can also cause the temperature of her breath to drop, therefore able to freeze nearly anything.
 * Super hearing: Kara has super-sensitive ears that can perfectly pick up sounds from miles away and even through structures.
 * Super speed: Kara possesses the ability to move at incredible speeds, far greater than that of any normal human.
 * Super strength: Kara's strength is enhanced under a yellow sun, enough to easily kill a normal human if she were to attack them directly.
 * Telepathy immunity: Kara is immune to all forms of telepathy; even from someone as powerful as J'onn J'onzz, but not from the Dominator device.
 * X-ray vision: Kara has the ability to see through objects, except for lead.

Abilities

 * Expert hand-to-hand combatant: As a member of the New Reich, Kara is a highly trained combatant, allowing her to not only rely on her powers in a fight.
 * Skilled leader: As a general of the New Reich, Kara is a skilled military leader.
 * High tolerance for pain: As seen when confronting the captive Green Arrow, Flash, White Canary, Firestorm, and Alex Danvers, Kara was able to withstand the pain caused by the radiation in her blood due to the will of continuing her mission and support from her husband up until her death.

Weaknesses

 * Excessive solar energy absorption: According to Kara, she flew too close to the sun and absorbed too much solar radiation and now requires a heart transplant from a dopplegänger in order to offset the radiation out of her blood. If not done, she will die.
 * Kryptonite: Like all Kryptonians, even while empowered, Kara is vulnerable to the exposure of Kryptonite, a radioactive mineral from her home planet Krypton. Depending on the nature of the said Kryptonite, it will cause a different adverse affect on her;
 * Green Kryptonite: Green Kryptonite not only physically hurts Kara and weakens her physical attributes, leaving her vulnerable to weapons and anything in general that can kill a normal human, but if she is exposed to it for too long, it will kill her. However, it doesn't seem to effect her to the same extent as her Earth-38 counterpart since having absorbed extensive amounts of empowering sun radiation from Earth X's own sun seems to have mitigated the substance's weakening effect on her, as she wasn't particularly weakened after getting struck by a Green Kryptonite-tipped arrow beyond the fact that it merely penetrated her through her outfit and caused very shallow superficial bleeding; she even demonstrated safely holding up such an arrow close to herself on two separate occasions without faltering in the slightest.
 * Red Kryptonite: If exposed to Red Kryptonite, it gradually destroys Kara's inhibitions and turns her into a corrupt version of herself. Left without morality, compassion, rationality, or any cares whatsoever, Kara will become malevolent and prone to hostility and aggression, making her a danger to everyone around her.
 * Silver Kryptonite: If exposed to Silver Kryptonite, it will cause Kara to go in a deep and frightful hallucination where nothing from the outside world can stir her out of it until it leaves her system.
 * Extreme energy: Extreme amounts of energy, such as the energy from the Reactron suit or Livewire's electricity, while she is at her peak, can be enough to kill Kara.
 * Electricity: Despite her invulnerability, Supergirl seems relatively vulnerable to large amounts of electricity.
 * Red sun energy: Like all Kryptonians, exposure to the Red Sun will make Kara the equivalent of a human being on Earth.
 * Solar energy depletion: Using her powers to its maximum for an extended period can significantly drain her solar energy to the point where Kara loses all of her powers and is rendered more human-like for at least a day or more. This renders her as weak as a human, allowing Kara to get injured and killed as easily as normal humans.
 * Lead: Kara can not see through lead, even with her X-ray vision.
 * Magic: Like all Kryptonians and humans, Kara can be affected by supernatural forces or powers. This is because her powers are due to her natural physiology and not from the supernatural.
 * High-frequencies: Though considered a strength, Kara's hearing does have its disadvantages. Since her hearing is more sensitive than a normal human's, higher pitch noises (sonic screams, etc.) can disorient her and cause pain in her ears, leaving her vulnerable in a fight.
 * Sound-dampening technology: The D.E.O. designed frequencies to block super-hearing and cause Kara slight pain when trying to use it in areas protected by the technology.
 * Oxygen dependency: Kara requires a regular influx of oxygen into her system in order to function. As such, she cannot breathe underwater or survive in space for long.

Equipment

 * Overgirl suit: Kara wears a protective suit as her alter ego Overgirl.

Behind the scenes

 * In the DC comics, Overgirl was a human girl from a parallel Earth where the Nazis won the Second World War. She was given genetic material from Overman, who came to consider her his cousin, and gained superpowers. She was created by Grant Morrison, first appearing in Final Crisis Vol 1 #3 (September, 2008).
