Background
As seen in Hero of the Year, when Krypton exploded, Kara's parents forced her into a jet so she could escape to Earth. When she protests, stating that they should come with her, her parents explain that there isn't enough space for them all, and they have a tearful goodbye. As Kara's ship blasts her off to Earth, she travels at the speed of light; traveling so fast that she arrives a few years in the future, older. When she arrived on Earth, she received superpowers from the sun, and was adopted by the Kents. She is now a student at Super Hero High.
