Linda's inability to ultimately save Kara, coupled with the loss of her daughter, is so devastating that it ends her own career as Supergirl, Linda leaving a note for Superman where she explains that she feels that she has failed to live up to the standards of a true Supergirl and choosing to go somewhere she cannot be found. This story arc is usually cited as one of the best Supergirl stories ever written. [18] The series ended with issue 80. Twilight– A New God who would curse the Presence and sees Supergirl as a means of exacting revenge. She merges with Matrix and becomes an ally. Introduced in Supergirl (vol. 4) #15 (November 1997). After the launch of the Superman/Batman comic book series, executive editor Dan DiDio had been looking for a way to simplify the Supergirl character from her convoluted post- Crisis history; the simplest version, of course, was Superman's cousin. Jeph Loeb and editor Eddie Berganza found an opening to reintroduce the character following the conclusion of the first story arc of Superman/Batman. Loeb states:

Tropes found in this work:

Ruthye: "I believe she lived her life in pain. But I reiterate again, for I think it important enough to repeat— These beliefs are based on my time at her side, watching her as she moved through strife and sorrow. If you were to have asked her, I have little doubt she would have claimed that such an assertion was absurd." Schizo Tech: Ruthye's home planet is a more alien-looking Standard Fantasy Setting with low-technology and some magic but Supergirl was able to find a spaceship to get them off-planet.

Siobhan McDougal/Silver Banshee– An aggressive enemy of Superman and the arch enemy of Supergirls Kara Zor-El and Linda Danvers.Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Ruthye tries to hire Kara twice. Every time Kara replies she does not want swords or money and she is not a killer. Hughes, Mark (May 31, 2019). "Robert Pattinson To Star In Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' ". Forbes .

You All Meet in an Inn: Both girls' quest begins when Supergirl goes to a tavern and witnesses Ruthye being stolen by a mercenary. Decay– Daniel Pendergast manipulates Psi into trying to destroy Chicago only to be turned into a monstrous slime creature. Introduced in Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #1 (November 1982). Glowing Eyes of Doom: Kara's irises give off an eerie crimson glow right before she swats Krem's goon as a bug. Motivational Lie: Krypto's fine. Kara never needed Krem to cure his poison. But she saw that Ruthye ran the risk of having her life consumed by wanting revenge against Krem and helped her find him so she could have protection and a shoulder to lean on as she unknowingly processed her grief.Morton's Fork: We eventually find out why Krem killed Ruthye's father. He was an agent provocateur, who would make seditious statements, and then kill anyone who agreed with him. Ruthye's father didn't agree. In fact, he called Krem a traitor for saying such things. And obviously, a King's Agent can't be expected to take that from a mere farmer. Canon Welding: As stated by King, he is welding Supergirl's Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis origin per maximum drama factor. So, Kara is older than Superman, but she lived in Argo City until the whole city died, whereupon her parents sent her with Superman, who immediately dumped her into an orphanage.
