The first year and a half of my Army career, people were treating me unfairly, never bothering to get to know me and casting their judgments. I was fighting through their negativity, pulling myself up after every knockdown. I've had my own villains to face and have become a stronger person from this experience. Supergirl has had a rough and jagged start to heroism, having to step out of her cousin Kal's massive shadow and prove herself countless times. She is the sort of character any beaten down teenager or young adult can look up to and know that in this hard world (or parallel universe) there is someone else who feels exactly the way they do. She's a fighter and will mature into a powerful woman. I will always look up to Supergirl, she gives me a surge of morale that'll keep me going through my four month operational tour in October.
(Yeah I know she's powerful already, but it's who she'll become as an individual. Fingers crossed she becomes a kick arse villain :D)
@The Stegman: A truly good point, one that I have to agree with most certainly. Seeing as I used to be a teenage girl (minus the blonde locks), stumbling up and making a pig's ear out of everything. Still, after having read that part where she gets the soft drink projectile launched into her face, she should've flash fried them.
Kara's got the patience of a saint, in fact, too much so for a teenage girl. Reality: she should've gone Plutonian on their ungrateful butts. At least, that's how I would have written her. ):D
