On the doomed planet of Krypton, a lone spaceship was prepared for Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Earth's most destructive hero. "Your pod's coordinates are interlocked with that of Kal-El," her father said.
"I don't understand a word you're telling me," Kara said confused.
"Just follow Kal-El to Earth," her father said impatiently.
"The trip is long, but you'll sleep most of the way. We will both be with you in your dreams," her mother told her.
"Wait, you're not going with me?" Kara asked surprised.
"We've been over this a thousand times, Kara," her mother said frustrated. "Look after your baby cousin, Kal-El. You will have great powers on this planet."
"So, I have to be a babysitter for Kal-El. That sucks!" Kara said obnoxiously.
"I love you, Kara. Now, you must go," her mother said urgently as the planet was about to explode.
"Where am I going?" Kara wondered.
"Just get your ass in that pod," her father said losing patience.
"Fine," Kara said as she got in the pod.
The pod lifted off the planet just as its surface was exploding. "I'm more worried for her than Kal-El," her mother said.
"That's why I changed the calculation, so she would arrive later than him," her father rolled his eyes.
The planet Krypton then exploded leaving behind a baby brat and a dumb blond as its legacy.
Nuremberg, Germany-1933
Kara's Kryptonian pod entered Earth's atmosphere and appeared as a red flash across the continent of Europe as it finally landed just outside Nuremberg, Germany. Upon landing, it was discovered by a childless middle-aged couple, the Kellers. The pod opened revealing a teenage blond blue-eyed girl in a white dress.
"She's an angel," Mrs. Keller remarked.
Kara looked over the two humans curiously and then felt a rush as she experienced her awesome powers for the first time. She could see through solid objects, see long distances with perfect resolution, and hear sounds from miles away. Looking up, she saw the yellow sun.
"We can't tell the police," Mr. Keller said nervously. He then turned to Kara. "I don't know if you can understand me, but we can keep you safe and give you a home."
Kara eyed him in wonder. "I...understand," she replied in German.
Years passed as Kara learned German fluently in only a few weeks, became top of her girl's class, and became a star athlete. So enthralled with her new life, she completely forgot about her cousin, Kal-El.
Adventures of Overgirl
Metropolis, USA
At STAR labs, FBI Agent James Olsen approached Lex Luthor wearing a white lab coat leaning on his car as he listened to his tape recorder while also playing chess with several scientists all at the same time. It was in the 1950s a time when a Cold War had emerged between the major powers of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, the United States, and what was left of the USSR.
"Checkmate," Lex said as he defeated them all.
"Mr. Luthor," James tried to get his attention.
"Board seven actually took longer than expected. You see, I was a little distracted reading Machiavelli while also listening to Urdu from my portable tape player I, myself, invented," Lex excused himself.
"You're smart. I get it," James rolled his eyes.
"Agent Jimmy Olsen, I presume?" Lex assumed.
"How did you know that?" James asked suspiciously.
"You had a scheduled appointment, did you not?" Lex said obviously. "Now, come and see what I've been up to on the Overgirl deterrent I've been spending ludicrous amounts of government money on."
The two went inside STAR lab and found Lex's lab full of useless junk. "What the fuck? You've prevented the greatest minds in America from even coming in here and all you've done is play games and puzzles."
"My subconscious is working. Isn't that enough?" Lex asked rhetorically.
"Err...no," James shook his head.
"These puzzles and games lubricate the cogs of my brain. Genius doesn't work on a timetable. That's what these Washington accountants don't understand," Lex said arrogantly.
"I don't know. That sounds like bullshit," James doubted.
"Well, I did discover a formula to balancing the budget and ending inflation permanently," Lex said nonchalantly handing James a notebook with scribbled notes.
"Oh really?" James wondered as he looked over the pages.
"Solving problems is like eating or breathing for me. When I've figured out this Overgirl, I'll get in touch," Lex promised.
James looked over the lab. "I am so fired," he realized.
At Lex's apartment in Metropolis, Lex was watching a game show on silent when Lois arrived to nag. "Why is the volume so low?" she asked.
"I'm working on my lip-reading skills. It just occurred to me that I don't know how but by the end of the day I should have it worked out," Lex said arrogantly.
"You know what? I've had enough of your bullshit, Lex. Whenever I talk to you, you're busy doing several things at once. I never have your undivided attention," Lois said pissed off.
"I assure you, Lois. I am more attentive to you, even when multi-tasking, than anyone else on the planet," Lex told her.
"Such an ass," Lois muttered handing him the paper. "If you're so smart, why are the Germans beating us in the space race, the arms race, and dominating our skies with Overgirl?"
"Don't worry, honey. Soon, you'll have your 'Death of Overgirl' headline and an exclusive interview with the man who did it, the very handsome Lex Luthor," Lex said imaginatively. "You might even win a Pulitzer for it."
"Might, huh?" Lois rolled her eyes.
Lex read the paper a few times. "Good grief, how could my scientists be such idiots?"
"What is it now?" Lois asked impatiently.
"Get me the president. I don't give a shit if he's in a meeting. This is Lex Luthor speaking," Lex said on the phone.
"What's going on, Lex? Have you found a way to defeat Overgirl?" Lois asked.
"I'm sorry, darling, but it would be beyond your understanding," Lex said condescendingly. "Ike? I need a hundred technicians, ten million dollars, and permission to shoot down a German satellite in a populated area," he said on the phone.
"What the fuck?" Ike wondered.
Berlin, Germany
Overgirl dropped down, cocked her fist back, and punched a train stopping it in its tracks before it could collide with a little girl and her stuffed bear. The tracks buckled and tore apart as the train came to an abrupt stop. Kara then turned around and eyed the little girl staring at her in wonder.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Your foot is not even stuck. Do you want to get yourself killed because I'll oblige. I swear, people do stupid things every day just to get a glimpse of me. You only get one rescue per customer so now you're out. You listening to me?" Kara lectured her.
The girl merely nodded. "Overgirl, this is a priority alert. One of our satellites is plummeting into Earth's atmosphere. The Americans! They must have sabotaged us. How else could a satellite change course like that?" a scientist radioed her.
"Maybe you did a shitty job getting it up there," Kara suggested.
"Flight trajectory indicates it's headed towards a populated area on the East coast of America," the scientist reported.
"Well, serves them right. Why do I give a shit?" Kara asked.
"We're trying to win the hearts and minds of the Americans," the scientist said to her.
"Hearts and minds, huh? That sounds like bullshit. They fucked with our satellite; they get fucked in return. That's how this works," Kara replied.
"The order comes from the Chancellor," the scientist said after a long pause.
"Shit," Kara muttered and then flew off towards America.
Metropolis
Kara reached Metropolis just as the doomed satellite headed directly towards it. "What are the fucking odds?" Kara shook her head as the satellite approached, burning in Earth's atmosphere. Kara backhanded the satellite away from the city. It zipped by the Daily Planet globe and plunged into the bay creating a large water explosion. The people of Metropolis stared at Overgirl with amazement and fear. The Daily Planet globe then began to fall off its building, damaged by the satellite. Kara watched as the globe was about to squash a boy.
"You've got to be kidding me," Kara rolled her eyes and then took hold of the globe before it could hit the kid.
Kara tossed the globe aside crushing some schmuck's car. She played with the boy's blond hair. "There may be hope for this country, yet," Kara considered.
Kara then eyed Lois who was gawking at her. Smirking at those looking at her, she suddenly kicked the Daily Planet globe into the atmosphere and into space.
Lex and James watched the scene from a distance on the rooftop of a nearby building. "I knew her heroics wouldn't be confined to Europe. It's such a shame she works for the Nazis. We could have been good friends."
"What made you so sure she would have saved us?" James asked.
"I didn't, just had a hunch," Lex said nonchalantly.
"The fuck?" James wondered.
"Now, lift up that satellite from the water. The information left where she touched the hull is invaluable," Lex ordered.
