Supergirl

Kara Zor-El watched what was left of Krypton die, her mother included. On her 23rd birthday she meets Ruthye Marye Knoll, a girl whose family was murdered by Krem, leader of a gang of raiders, the Brigands. Krem hits Krypto with a poisoned dart, and the dog has three days to live. Kara and Ruthye cross planets chasing him and get help from the bounty hunter Lobo. On the planet Barenton, the green sun weakens Kara, but when the yellow sun rises she suits up, beats the gang and gets the antidote for Krypto. Kara talks Ruthye out of killing Krem, then kills him herself. Kara returns to Earth and tells Clark she wants to stay.
