Supergirl / Kara Zor-El from Superman

My Supergirl has only been worn for charity events and hospital visits with the Avengers Initiative/West Coast Avengers. To date, it hasn't seen a convention. That may change in the future, but for now, Supergirl is my elusive charity baby.

Kara Zor-El is the last survivor of Argo City, which had survived the explosion of the planet Krypton and drifted through space. When the inhabitants of the colony are slain by Green Kryptonite, which was released by meteorites striking the lead barrier, Kara is sent to Earth by her father Zor-El to be raised by her cousin Kal-El (Superman). Fearing that she might not be recognized by Superman, Kara's parents provide a costume based on the Man of Steel's own.

On Earth, Kara acquires powers identical to Superman's and adopts the secret identity of Linda Lee, a resident of Midvale Orphanage. She conceals her blonde hair beneath a brunette wig and functions as Supergirl only in secret, at Superman's request, until she can gain, in his opinion, sufficient control of her powers.

Supergirl's secret identity is a closely held secret known only to Superman, her foster parents, and the Legion of Super-Heroes, of which she is as a member for a time.

Kara currently operates out of Metropolis, adopting the secret identity of Lana Lang's niece, Linda Lang.
