Origin:

Although her publication history reaches back to the late golden age, her origin story has remained mostly unchanged in this time (except when a completely different character, Linda Danvers, took on the name). Supergirl was a resident of the doomed planet Krypton, who at the time of its explosion was a teenager who was often left in charge of her infant cousin Kal-El (who would become Superman on Earth). She was sent in a separate spacecraft to Earth to look over her cousin while he reached maturity. Due to an error in the trajectory of the spacecraft (and because she was traveling close to the speed of light) she arrived many years later unaged while Kal-El had already grown to adulthood, reversing the intended role of child and guardian.

Creation:

Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) was created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino. She first appeared in Action Comics #252 in Early May of 1959. With a young male version of Superman already created (Superboy) it was decided that a female version of the Superman character would be created as well
