Alura is the Kryptonian mother of Supergirl and the wife of Zor-El. She helped save Argo City from Krypton's destruction by reverse engineering Brainiac's force field technology.
Before he caused Rao, the Kryptonian sun, to go supernova, the Coluan known as Brainiac invaded the planet Krypton and plundered the planet of its collective knowledge. He used his advanced science to shrink and bottle the entire city of Kandor; adding the Kryptonian metropolis as another specimen to his vast collection of alien cities. To carry out this plan, Brainiac ordered hundreds of his robots planet-side to prepare the city for abduction. These robots mercilessly killed any resistance, protecting themselves from attack with self-generating force fields.
Following the taking of Kandor, the people of Krypton ignored the warnings of Jor-El that the planet was unstable and facing destruction. Jor-El's warnings were dismissed by almost all of Krypton, however Zor-El believed his brother and set into motion his own plans for survival. Zor-El and his wife Alura experimented on one of the robots destroyed by General Zod's troops. They managed to deconstruct Brainiac's force field technology sufficiently to create a protective dome over their home, Argo City. Unfortunately, Alura and Zor-El did not have time enough to master this technology and protect all of Krypton. When Krypton exploded, Argo City was protected from the blast, and remained intact floating aimlessly in space for many months.
Alura and her husband began work on an evacuation plan to lead the remaining Kryptonians to Earth where they would be reunited with their nephew, Kal-El. Before this plan could be enacted Alura's daughter spotted a ship outside of the dome. Brainiac had sensed his technology in use and discovered the Kryptonian refugees. Knowing that Brainiac would not spare their city, Zor-El and Alura placed their daughter, Kara Zor-El, in the only escape rocket that had been ready for service. They sent her to Earth, instructing her to find and protect her infant cousin, Kal-El. As Kara escaped, the villainous Brainiac once again invaded a Kryptonian city. His troops assimilated any additional people and information that contained knowledge that had not been learned from Kandor. Those Kryptonians who Brainiac viewed as "redundant" were slaughtered. Zor-El and Alura were transferred to the bottled city of Kandor and have remained there as prisoners of Brainiac for many years.
Alura appears in the 1984 Supergirl movie. She was played by Mia Farrow.
