I personally think that since they are in a irl relationship they do have a good chance of getting back together. I am not saying this because I ship Karamel, I am saying this because it makes the show a lot more interesting when Kara has a love interest because it proves how venerable she can make herself and gives Alex a time to shine as a big sis. I hope you are all excited for later tonight! I know I am!!

I understand that Supergirl has no true endgame, but would it be safe to say that Brainy is her main 'love interest' in the cb world?

And yes I didn't mean they were together for decades, but instead have a history of being together in multiple comic series that have spanned decades.


I actually don't know that i'ts safe to say that Brainy is her main love interest in the "Comic Book" world.

I've read Supergirl books since the 1990's, and tried to catch up on things prior to that. And I've tried to look up her and Brainy, prior to that. From what I can tell, if they were together, it was incredibly brief, and in the Silver Age. He's always had more of a "puppy love" vibe towards her, that either went unrequited, or that she left in favor of her life as Supergirl in the present, as opposed to staying with him in the future. This puppy love aspect was worked into other mediums, like when the Legion appeared in "Justice League Unlimited", and Brainiac 5 had a crush on Supergirl. Though, in that one episode, she seemed to recepricate by the end.

Those old comics were also super sexist, with many issues focusing on Supergirl crying over a one-issue boyfriend, or super villains wanting to make Supergirl their mate, or breed with her. Super creepy.

In reality, the longest relationship of Supergirl's that I know of is Alexander Luthor (Supposedly Lex's son, but in reality Lex in a younger clone body of himself). Lex used Supergirl to his own ends, before she realized it and turned on him. And that wasn't even the "Kara Zor-El" version of Supergirl. That was the weird "Matrix" Supergirl that existed in the 1990's.

Ever since Supergirl was rebooted in 2004 and brought Kara Zor-El back into continuity, she hasn't had a real long term relationship. She had an abusive 2 issue relationship with Power Boy (who she proceeded to beat the crap out of). Brainy has appeared, and professed his love, but she wasn't the Supergirl he knew (as he knew the Pre-Crisis Supergirl), so she didn't know him.

She didn't really have any relationships in the New 52 continuity. She might now have a boyfriend in Rebirth, as I'm about 5 issues behind on my reading.

Bottom line, the thing I've always loved about Supergirl is that she didn't have / didn't need a long term/main love interest. And personally, that's how I prefer the show.

It's honestly the same thing I loved, for a long time, about Batgirl. Yes, she'd had an on-again-off-again thing with Dick Grayson, but she never NEEDED to be with him, the way Superman needed Lois, Flash needed Iris, etc.

Just my thoughts. It's fine to want her and Brainy to hook up, I guess. I just really wouldn't consider him, or anyone else, her "main" love interest, in the comics.

I don't mind relationships, per say, as long as they don't overpower the show. And that was the really big problem with both Mon-El and Maggie. That is ALL that season 2 was. And that annoys me.


I don't mean decades as in that is how long they were together....I mean spanned decades in different iterations of the comics. As with all that she has a relationship with....she gets with none of them, which is why I do the "eye roll" thing when anyone says she had an endgame with any particular relationship.

I think Kara can be like James Bond or Nancy Drew (files). A new guy every season. :D

But... the romance should be tertiary to SG, and Kara and superfriends and family.

As for Kara and Lena's sexuality. Sexuality is on a spectrum. It is perfectly possible for a woman to realise that she is attracted to other women in their 20's, 30's or even later. It is a thing. Both could turn out to be bi. (Men too.. ).

I don't think they should do that to be honest and there is a reason you have fan fiction. But.. you know, it happens in real life.

I don't personally want Kara (or Alex) to be defined by any romantic relationship. But, I think it is perfectly okay for Kara's character to define how she approaches relationships. For example, working with friends and family instead of going solo like for Superman.

Somehow the topic I brought up about Kara and Brainiac 5 being the closest thing to an 'endgame' made its way to twitter (someone shared a link to this forum topic).

The twitter user, in a thread, goes through Kara and Brainy's history together in case some of you are interested. I'm not a big comic book reader so all of this information was new to me. They've also compiled what looks like a timeline of the history between Kara and Brainy. I've linked both the thread and timeline below.

I love it when I'm proven right, and I didn't have to lift a finger......hahahahahahahahaha:D

On the other hand, whoever put that timeline together has AAAAALOOOOT of time on their hands. :o

Since I don't spend much time on twitter I was surprised that I came across that particular Kara/Brainy thread, and even more surprised that it was all in response to the discussion being had here! But it's nice to have it confirmed that they have an extensive history together (both romantic and not).

I too wonder what else has made its way from this site to other social media platforms........
