Kara Danvers has managed to dedicate her entire life to protecting the earth as Supergirl while also maintaining her civilian identity a secret. Much like her cousin, though, the constant stresses of leading a double life have been a significant an ever-present issue threatening to tear her apart.
In the first trailer for Supergirl’s third season, Kara’s still deeply shaken by Rhea’s invasion making the decision to sacrifice Mon-El in order to save the earth. As one of the few Kryptonians left in the galaxy, Kara knows that she’s becoming something of a beacon for conflicts from beyond the stars and is now considering giving up her human persona in order to live and fight as Supergirl 24/7.
The trailer also gives us our first look at the new season’s major villain Reign (Odette Annable,) shady real estate developer Morgan Edge (Adrian Pasdar,) and a flashback of Kara’s mother, who’s now being played by Smallville alum Erica Durance.
