Laura Bananti originated the role of Kara Zor-El's mother, Alura, on Supergirl, but in Season 3 she was replaced by Erica Durance. Here's why. The Supergirl supporting cast is full of actors who worked on a different DC movie or TV series before appearing on the show.
General Astra (died 2016) was a Kryptonian criminal, warlady, former military general, and inmate of Fort Rozz. She was the twin sister of Alura Zor-El, the maternal aunt of Kara Zor-El, and the wife of Non, as well as the leader of their army.

Supergirl season 1 set up Kara's romantic interest in James Olsen. The two were coworkers at CatCo and James had the benefit of already knowing her secret identity as Supergirl and it seemed like the pair were headed in the direction of potentially being an endgame relationship.
Alura is the Kryptonian daughter of In-Zee, wife of Zor-El, mother of Supergirl, and paternal aunt (by marriage) of Superman. Created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino, the character first appeared in Action Comics #252 (May 1959).

The reason for the new suit is revealed early on in the Supergirl season 5 premiere episode, "Event Horizon." A battle with a super-strong alien shape-shifter leaves Kara with a shredded cape, which offers an annoyance beyond looking bedraggled.

It's clear she absorbs her solar powers even faster than Superman. Beyond that, Supergirl just doesn't hold back. Honestly, Superman is not as strong even when he doesn't hold back. In DC Comics' 2021 series Crime Syndicate, we see Earth-3 Kal-El become the evil Ultraman.
