In Supergirl or-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s cousin and unassuming office worker by day, decides to 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 (Superman). Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret.
Now 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan) and famous photographer James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), 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 (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister Alex (Chyler Leigh) also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats.
Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, though her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.
In Legends of Tomorrow, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?
