Supergirl (also known as Cir-El or Mia) is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Steven Seagle and artist Scott McDaniel, she first appeared in Superman: The 10¢ Adventure #1 (2003) as the alleged daughter of Superman. She is later found to be a human girl who was genetically altered by the villain Brainiac to appear Kryptonian.
The character apparently disappears from the present when she enters a time stream, traveling to another timeline, to thwart a plot involving Brainiac 13. Although after her disappearance Cir-El has subsequently appeared in other stories set in the main timeline, even meeting the other Supergirls in Superman/Batman (vol. 1) #24, proving that she is still alive. Later DC events that restore the concept of an infinite multiverse and different universes and timelines coexisting at the same time, such as Dark Nights: Death Metal and Dark Crisis, seemingly prove this.
