<P> During her first quarter of a century Linda Danvers would have many professions, from student, to student advisor, to actor, and even TV camera operator . She shared Action Comics with Superman until transferring to the lead in Adventure Comics at the end of the 1960s . In 1972 she finally moved to her own short - lived eponymous magazine, before DC merged its Supergirl, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen titles into a single anthology title named The Superman Family . In 1982 Supergirl was relaunched into her own magazine . </P> <P> In 1985, the maxi - series Crisis on Infinite Earths was conceived as a way to reduce DC continuity to a single universe in which all characters maintained a single history . Despite Supergirl's continued popularity and status as a central member of the "Superman Family", the editors at DC Comics and the creators of the maxi - series decided to kill Supergirl off during the Crisis . According to Marv Wolfman, writer of Crisis on Infinite Earths: </P> <P> Before Crisis it seemed that half of Krypton had survived the explosion . We had Superman, Supergirl, Krypto, the Phantom Zone criminals, the bottle city of Kandor, and many others . Our goal was to make Superman unique . We went back to his origin and made Kal - El the only survivor of Krypton . That, sadly, was why Supergirl had to die . However, we were thrilled by all the letters we received saying Supergirl's death in Crisis was the best Supergirl story they ever read . Thank you . By the way, I miss Kara, too . </P> <P> The idea of killing Supergirl was first conceived by DC's vice president / executive editor Dick Giordano, who lobbied for the death to DC's publishers . He later said he has never had any regrets about this, explaining, "Supergirl was created initially to take advantage of the high Superman sales and not much thought was put into her creation . She was created essentially as a female Superman . With time, writers and artists improved upon her execution, but she never did really add anything to the Superman mythos--at least not for me ." The poor initial reception of the 1984 film Supergirl was also blamed by some sources . </P>
