==Synopsis==
  +
{{Synopsis|{{S|S}} is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character [[Kara Danvers|Kara Zor-El]], [[Clark Kent (Earth-38)|Superman's (Kal-El)]] cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on [[Earth (Earth-38)|Earth]], decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet [[Krypton (Earth-38)|Krypton]] with her [[Alura Zor-El|par]][[Zor-El|ents]]' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the [[Danvers family|Danvers]], Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, [[Alex Danvers|Alex]], and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, at 24, Kara lives in [[National City (Earth-38)|National City]] assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster [[Cat Grant]]. She works alongside her friend and IT technician [[Winn Schott]] and famous photographer [[James Olsen]], who Grant just hired away from the ''[[Daily Planet (Earth-38)|Daily Planet]]'' to serve as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when [[J'onn J'onzz|Hank Henshaw]], head of [[D.E.O. (Earth-38)|a super-secret agency]] where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.|http://www.kryptonsite.com/supergirl-episode-1-pilot-official-cbs-description-with-full-cast-list/|show = Supergirl}}

Series overview
Season 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6
"I'm not giving up. But my mother didn't send me to Earth to fall in love with a human, have children, live in a house with a white picket fence. She sent me here to protect Kal-El. And now, I will use my powers to protect the Earth."
—Kara Danvers[src]

The first season of Supergirl​ premiered on October 26, 2015 on CBS and concluded on April 18, 2016. The season consisted of 20 episodes.

Synopsis

Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.[src]
