Of all the coversSupermanhas made to   protect his Kryptonian heritage , his original   idea forSupergirlis by far his worst . When Clark ’s cousin Kara come into his life , the Man of Steel came up with the most incredible design to incorporate her into high society .

Despite how prominent the Super Family is now , there was a time when Clark Kent was the only Kryptonian around . Aside from file left behind from his beginner , Jor - El , he had no one to   instruct him the civilisation of his home existence or lecture about its past tense . That changed   forever when Superman met Supergirl , a fellow subsister of Krypton and his cousin-german on his father ’s side . For once , Superman was n’t alone in the world and had someone who shared in the despair of a all in world , as well as the responsibility of their dandy powers . Unfortunately , evenDC   admits Superman essentially ruined Supergirl ’s ancestry story .

Which induce Clark ’s original treatment of Kara that much more unearthly . Superman ’s history changed forever when Supergirl first appeared inAction Comics # 252 in the story “ The Supergirl from Krypton ! ” by Otto Binder and Al Plastino . After a roquette collapse soil on Earth , Superman discovers Supergirl within . He listens to her account and   realizes the young girl is really Superman ’s full cousin from Krypton . Because she really go to see Krypton , it could be argued thatSupergirl is Krypton ’s real bequest more than Superman . Clark is happy to finally have menage that divvy up his Kryptonian history and Kara is every bit overjoyed she wo n’t have to face this new world alone . But when Supergirl inquires if she ’ll amount to go with Superman , he tells her that her sudden show may arouse intuition in his life as Clark Kent . rather , he takes her to the Midvale Orphanage where he helps her come up with her clandestine identity as Linda Lee so she has somewhere dependable to live and acclimatise to Earth ’s culture .

uncalled-for to say , the story is a bit unusual considering how muchSuperman manage about his cousin , Supergirl . In Clark ’s defense , at the time it might have looked a routine odd for a knight bachelor to suddenly be living with a teenage girl , even if she was family . But Clark ’s almost lightning determination to send Kara to hold up at an orphanage is not only light - sighted , but it ’s also improbably unlike the family - orient hero fans know and love today .

Clark Kent have it away his crime syndicate . His Ma and Pa , his married woman , and his Logos . He ’s dedicated to them all and makes sure to do right by them . This is why it ’s so odd that when demo with a material body and blood relation , Superman institutionalise his house away . Not to hold out in Kansas with the Kents , or even a trusted friend like Lana Lang , but to an orphanage surrounded by alien . Aside from the callousness of the idea , it ’s incredibly dangerous . Kara had no clue of Earth customs or even full control condition of her powers . She could have tussled with a powerful foeman she was n’t make for or unexpectedly suffer an innocent . Thankfully this story was retconned becauseSuperman’soriginal discourse ofSupergirlis by far his uncollectible looking .
