"Wait, so the Superfriends are back?"
"We're not calling ourselves that."
Winn Schott and Kara Danvers[src]

The Superfriends, also written as Super Friends[1], coined by Winn Schott,[2] is a vigilante team led by Kara Danvers that operated in National City of Earth-38. The team protects the city from anyone who means to cause it harm, especially alien hostiles. The team is currently inactive, as Supergirl and J'onn J'onzz were the only members to survive the destruction of the multiverse. The Superfriends also worked closely with the D.E.O., their biggest ally, until it was destroyed.

Due to the Anti-Monitor Crisis, the team members were relocated to Earth-Prime. The team continues to operate in National City of that universe.

History[]

Year One: Myriad[]

After Kara saved Flight 237 and revealed herself to the world, she wanted to use her powers to help people. She then revealed her true identity to her best friend, Winn Schott, who eagerly agreed to help her and keep her secret. He helped make her suit, find her crimes to fight, and even gave her some advice.[2]

Supergirl team meeting

Year One.

The team was expanded when James Olsen told Kara that he knew that she was Supergirl and that her cousin, Clark Kent/Superman wanted him to help her. Her team was then expanded more when she became allies and a member of the D.E.O., earning the help of Hank Henshaw/J'onn J'onzz, Alex Danvers, and numerous other D.E.O. members.[3]

Cat Grant became an ally of Supergirl's team after the latter saved Cat, and the two became close friends.

During Myriad's initiation into National City, Alex was controlled by Non and tried to kill Supergirl, but she managed to regain control. Later, J'onn and Kara fought Non and Indigo and managed to defeat them, but the only way to prevent Myriad from killing everyone on Earth was to launch Fort Rozz itself into space. At the risk of her own life, Kara lifted Fort Rozz into space and pushed it away from Earth. Kara was saved by Alex in Kara's pod shortly after.[4]

Year Two: Alien Amnesty Act/Daxamite invasion[]

The Daxamite Mon-El who crash-landed on Earth,[5] became a member of Supergirl's team after he earned both Supergirl and the D.E.O.'s trust. He started training with Supergirl[6] and became an agent of the D.E.O. before he eventually started going on some missions with Supergirl.

The Superfriends later worked with Lena to save a large amount of the population of Earth-38 from antimatter with the new addition of Kelly Olsen. Along with her, they also had the assistance of Team Arrow, Team Flash, Batwoman, White Canary, and the Atom. They then failed at saving the citizens of Earth-38 that were moved to Earth-1.[12]However Kara, J'onn, and the newly resurrected Lex Luthor ended up helping in stopping Mobius as the Paragons. Then creating Earth-Prime where they finished him off with the other heroes of the merged Earth.[13]

Due to Lex, Lena retained her memories, but also her anger for the secrets. Lex sought to rule the new world but he learned of a new threat called Leviathan and decided to destroy it from within, though his hatred for Kryptonians stayed paramount. Lex even had Jeremiah Danvers killed to keep Supergirl off-balance.[14] Though he knew it was a failure, Lex worked with Lena on her project until she realized it as well[15] and humbly returned and apologized to Supergirl, who revealed that she hid her identity because their friendship was so valuable to her and to keep Lena from harm. Ultimately, Kara and Lena decided that Lex needed to be defeated.

Leviathan, who sought to kill 1/4 of the world through a program called Obsidian Platinum, was thwarted in VR by Supergirl and in reality by Querl Dox,[16] who for the safety of his friends kept his own secrets,[15] but the process left him slowly dying of radiation poisoning and Nia Nal not understanding the one she loved.[16] Nia later appears on the Leviathan ship and saves Brainy.
