Prominent alien worlds in DC Comics not yet referenced in the series include Rann, Durla, Thanagar, the home of Hawkman, Tamaran, homeworld of Starfire of the Teen Titans, and Warworld, the home of the tyrant Mongul. As a Roltikkon, Darla could make telepathic connections and learn languages by making physical contact with her tongue.Īs Supergirl's world expands, no doubt even more aliens will find their way to National City. Maggie Sawyer also once dated Darla, a Roltikkon who was a waitress at National City's alien dive bar. Marsdin is also an alien herself, though her race is currently a mystery. In turn, Supergirl is a huge fan of the President. She is a supporter of the DEO and of J'onn J'onzz remaining as the director and face of the organization. The President of the United States in Earth-38, Olivia Marsdin is a crusader for alien rights and came to National City to sign the Alien Amnesty Act. What's more, Kara's father Zor-El once worked with Kal's father Jor-El to create Project Medusa, a virus that was harmless to Kryptonians, but designed to eradicate alien species living on Krypton. Not all Kryptonians are as altruistic as Supergirl and Superman their late aunt Astra and her husband Non led a horde of Kryptonians that attempted to subjugate mankind. Superman and Supergirl bear the coat of arms of the House of El on their chests, which in Supergirl is a symbol that means "Stronger Together" (not "Hope," as it did in Man of Steel). Kryptonians are also vulnerable to magic, and Supergirl has established that there are a slew of alien weapons with enough power to harm or even kill Kryptonians. They lose their powers in the light of a red sun, such as the one Krypton once orbited before it exploded. Chief among them is Kryptonite, radioactive meteorites from Krypton that are lethal to Kryptonians (or turn them evil, in the case of red Kryptonite). Meanwhile, Supergirl has been using aliens in its stellar second season as a metaphor by which to explore relevant real-world issues of the place of refugees and immigrants in the United States and in the world at large.įor all their vast powers, Kryptonians also suffer from a number of weaknesses. Cadmus, a villainous anti-alien terrorist organization controlled by Lillian Luthor (mother of Lex), exists primarily to capture, dissect, experiment on, and ultimately purge aliens from the world. More and more aliens have been popping up on Supergirl in season 2, some friendly, most not. Supergirl ultimately lifted Fort Rozz into space and hurled it into the sun, but that only rid the world of the prison, not the aliens. Season 1 of Supergirl saw the Girl of Steel join the Department of Extra-Normal Operations to help defend the planet from extraterrestrial threats, many of which escaped from a Kryptonian maximum security penal facility called Fort Rozz, which had crashed on Earth. Aliens are welcome in National City, and on Supergirl's Earth in general (which is Earth-38 in the Arrowverse's multiverse).
