Kara becomes the go-to CatCo reporter to cover the Lena Luthor and LCorp stories. Kara and Lena become friends with Kara defending and supporting Lena at every which way. Their friendship blooms into a best friendship; they have an easy chemistry and bond as two strong women in their working and personal lives.
No, the two characters have never dated or been explicitly portrayed as love interests. But that didn't prevent fans of the pairing, known as "Supercorp" (a portmanteau of "Supergirl" and "Luthor Corp," the Luthor-family company where Lena works), from hoping for five years for a potential romance.
After five long seasons, Supergirl has ended and Supercorp, the romantic pairing of Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor, is not, in fact, endgame – at least not canonically. In some ways it feels like this was always how it would go, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating and even hurtful.
During this period in 2012 at the age of 19, she met and befriended Jack Spheer. The two began a start-up in a garage, working to try and find a cure for cancer and other diseases using nanotechnology. After three years, Lena and Jack fell in love and started a romantic relationship.
On November 11, 2021, fans had fun by doctoring photos of the series finale and 'showing' Kara and Lena kissing. Fans created an alternate reality where two women publicly expressed their love.
As for why the scene was left by the wayside, the likely reason is it that even for Greg Berlanti and the Arrowverse knew that it was too excessive, as the finale already included the wedding of Kara's stepsister Alex (Chyler Leigh) to Jimmy Olsen's sister, Kelly (Azie Tesfai).
The feud between Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor on Supergirl should have ended in the very first episode of Season 5. WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Season 5 of Supergirl. After a season at odds, Lena and Kara finally made amends and restored their friendship in the Season 5 finale of Supergirl.
At the start of Season 2 of Supergirl, Lena is 23 years old, making her physically 3 years younger than Kara Danvers. Lena owns a National City University sweatshirt, indicating she may have attended the school at some point.
Kara and Lena maintain a good friendship for most of the series until Lex Luthor reveals Supergirl's true identity to Lena, causing Lena to become bitter at this apparent 'evidence' that her friend didn't truly trust her.
At the end of 'Supergirl,' Kara Danvers ends up with her found family — but no love story. Throughout the series, we see Kara go through her own trials and tribulations with romance.
In the season finale 3x23 (Battles Lost and Won), Mon-El decides to leave back to the future as he realizes he is needed. He makes the selfless sacrifice to fulfill his role as a Legionnaire and return back with Imra. Because he had to leave, their relationship had to end.
As promised in the episode synopsis, "Tremors" saw the youngest Luthor reveal her true feelings to Kara. This led Lena to betray Kara, leaving her trapped in the Fortress of Solitude for the time being.
In the series finale, Cat buys back CatCo and hires Kara as her new editor-in-chief, while also disclosing to Kara herself that she has always known of Kara's Supergirl identity. Shortly after, Cat gives an interview where Kara publicly reveals herself as Supergirl.
Kara kisses Lena with a fierce, longing passion. Lena kisses her back. The walls they've had up for so long finally breaking down...to what they've always wanted the most." There are also several screenshots of the moment they kiss, even a photo of the monitor on a camera.
Natalie Abrams was a co-writer for Earth Prime Batwoman comic 'Flesh and Mud' and she has now confirmed that Kara and Lena are canon in the Arrowverse. Only took around 7 years for the confirmation even though in our hearts and mind we knew it was canon all along.
In season six, Alex assists in the fight of Lex Luthor. While advised by Lena Luthor to inform Kelly about Supergirl's identity, Alex is persuaded by J'onn to take on the Sentinel alias. After the defeat of Lex and Nyxlygsptlnz, Alex and Kelly got married.
Kara appeared to use that persona like a mask to run away from her past trauma. Doctor Fate diagnosed Supergirl suffered from a severe case of survivor guilt and PTSD, and "Dark Supergirl" was a physical manifestation from her psychological trauma, which was literally crushing her.
She was originally a supporting character, but after she found out that Kara Danvers had being lying to her about her identity as Supergirl, she becomes a major threat to her and the Superfriends.
Technicalities aside, it's safe to say Supergirl first arrives on Earth as a teenager in both the Silver and Modern ages of comics - 15-16 years old to be exact. The only thing that changes is her relationship to Superman as either his younger or younger-but-technically-older cousin.
Kara was sent to Earth from the dying planet of Krypton to protect her younger cousin, Kal-El. However, Kara's pod got knocked off-course by Krypton's explosion, sending her ship into the Phantom Zone where she slept for 24 years, while being suspended in time and not aging.
She was roughly 25 when she donned Supergirl's colorful costume and she is now about 30 years old when Supergirl season 6 begins. There's a significant discrepancy with her age since Kara is actually much older than 30 - in Krypton years, Kara Zor-El is 54 years old.
While initially a heroic character that wanted to be a more positive leader of LuthorCorp, but due to her moral ambiguity and her disappointment over Kara hiding her identity as Supergirl, she becomes a villain in Season 5.
Trivia. In the first season, Kara's original main love interest was James Olsen. Kara has no actual love interest in the fourth season. In the comics, Kara's most notable love interest is Querl Dox, aka Brainiac 5.
