Kara Danvers used a protective suit to help her survive on Earth on when the atmosphere was tainted with Kryptonite.
Overview
History
Kara in suit.
The suit was built in order to help Kara when she was dying from the Kryptonite sent into the atmosphere by Agent Liberty, Mercy, Otis, and Jensen. The suit was brought in by Lena Luthor and had then kept the unconscious Kara alive. She later woke up, terrified of her new position in the suit. Alex calmed her down, but told her to stay put due to the fragile nature of the suit.
Later, Kara used it unsuccessfully when trying to stop an alien attack at a National City Police Department Precinct. Nearly dying when the suit couldn't filter out the Kryptonite while Kara was being beaten during the attack. Saved just in the nick of time by Brainy and Alex.
Kara later used it for the second and final time to stop a mind controlled Hellgrammite from attacking a fair. She was successful in this, but not before Otis and Mercy Graves get the drop on her and threaten Kara with a gun to her head. However Lena and Brainy suck the Kryptonite from the atmosphere before Kara is shot and thus she removes the suit.
In order to stop Manchester Black, Kara had to destroy the President's satellite. Leading to Alex giving her the suit once more. She removed it shortly after landing on Earth.
When fighting Lex Luthor with his Kryptonite Gauntlets, she dons the suit to protect herself.
Functions
- Kryptonite filtration: The suit is designed to filter out the Kryptonite that was flooded into the atmosphere. However at the cost of durability, as Kara can be killed in the suit if it has too much damage done to it.
- HUD display: A HUD was built into the suit to give Kara readings on the suit's current state. It was used when she was beaten down during her first outing as Supergirl while in the suit.
- Space survivability: The suit allows Kara to survive in space due to it's filtration system.
