text: Pure Food and Drug Act

text: Historical significance[edit]

text: The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was a key piece of Progressive Era legislation, signed by President Theodore Roosevelt on the same day as the Federal Meat Inspection Act. Enforcement of the Pure Food and Drug Act was assigned to the Bureau of Chemistry in the U.S. Department of Agriculture which was renamed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1930. The Meat Inspection Act was assigned to what is now known as the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which remains in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The first federal law regulating foods and drugs, the 1906 Act's reach was limited to foods and drugs moving in interstate commerce. Although the law drew upon many precedents, provisions, and legal experiments pioneered in individual states, the federal law defined "misbranding" and "adulteration" for the first time and prescribed penalties for each. The law recognized the U.S. Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary as standards authorities for drugs, but made no similar provision for federal food standards.[1] The law was principally a "truth in labeling" law designed to raise standards in the food and drug industries and protect the reputations and pocketbooks of honest businessmen.

text: Particular drugs deemed dangerous[edit]

text: Under the law, drug labels, for example, had to list any of 10 ingredients that were deemed "addictive" and/or "dangerous" on the product label if they were present, and could not list them if they were not present. Alcohol, morphine, opium, and cannabis were all included on the list of these "addictive" and/or "dangerous" drugs. The law also established a federal cadre of food and drug inspectors that one Southern opponent of the legislation criticized as "a Trojan horse with a bellyful of inspectors and other employees."[2] Penalties under the law were modest, but an under-appreciated provision of the Act proved more powerful than monetary penalties. Goods found in violation of various areas of the law were subject to seizure and destruction at the expense of the manufacturer. That, combined with a legal requirement that all convictions be published as Notices of Judgment, proved to be important tools in the enforcement of the statute and had a deterrent effect upon would-be violators.[3] Deficiencies in this original statute[example needed], which had become noticeable by the 1920s, led to the replacement of the 1906 statute with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which was enacted in 1938 and signed by President Franklin Roosevelt. This act, along with its numerous amendments, remains the statutory basis for federal regulation of all foods, drugs, biological products, cosmetics, medical devices, tobacco, and radiation-emitting devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

text: History of passage[edit]

text: It took 27 years to the 1906 statute, during which time the public was made aware of many problems with foods and drugs in the U.S. Muckraking journalists, such as Samuel Hopkins Adams, targeted the patent medicine industry with its high-alcoholic content patent medicines, soothing syrups for infants with opium derivatives, and "red clauses" in newspaper contracts providing that patent medicine ads (upon which most newspapers of the time were dependent) would be withdrawn if the paper expressed support for food and drug regulatory legislation. The Chief Chemist of the Bureau of Chemistry, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, captured the country's attention with his hygienic table studies, which began with a modest Congressional appropriation in 1902. The goal of the table trial was to study the human effects of common preservatives used in foods during a period of rapid changes in the food supply brought about by the need to feed cities and support an industrializing nation increasingly dependent on immigrant labor. Wiley recruited young men to eat all their meals at a common table as he added increased "doses" of preservatives including borax, benzoate, formaldehyde, sulfites, and salicylates. The table trials captured the nation's fancy and were soon dubbed "The Poison Squad" by newspapers covering the story. The men soon adopted the motto "Only the Brave dare eat the fare" and at times the publicity given to the trials became a burden. Though many results of the trial came to be in dispute, there was no doubt that formaldehyde was dangerous and it disappeared quickly as a preservative. Wiley himself felt that he had found adverse effects from large doses of each of the preservatives and the public seemed to agree with Wiley. In many cases, most particularly with ketchup and other condiments, the use of preservatives was often used to disguise insanitary production practices. Although the law itself did not proscribe the use of some of these preservatives, consumers increasingly turned away from many products with known preservatives.

text: The 1906 statute regulated food and drugs moving in interstate commerce and forbade the manufacture, sale, or transportation of poisonous patent medicines.[4] The Act arose due to public education and exposés from public interest guardians such as Upton Sinclair and Samuel Hopkins Adams, social activist Florence Kelley, researcher Harvey W. Wiley, and President Theodore Roosevelt.

text: Beginnings of the Food and Drug Administration[edit]

text: The 1906 Act paved the way for the eventual creation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is generally considered to be that agency's founding date, though the agency existed before the law was passed and was not named FDA until later. "While the Food and Drug act remains a foundational law of the FDA mission, it's not the law that created the FDA. [Initially,] the Bureau of Chemistry (the precursor to the FDA) regulated food safety. In 1927, the Bureau was reorganized into the Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration and the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils. The FDIA was renamed the FDA in 1930."[5]

text: The law itself was largely replaced by the much more comprehensive Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938.

text: Enforcement of labeling and future ramifications[edit]

text: The Pure Food and Drug Act was initially concerned with ensuring products were labeled correctly. Later efforts were made to outlaw certain products that were not safe, followed by efforts to outlaw products which were safe but not effective. For example, there was an attempt to outlaw Coca-Cola in 1909 because of its excessive caffeine content; caffeine had replaced cocaine as the active ingredient in Coca-Cola in 1903.[6] In the case United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola, the judge found that Coca-Cola had a right to use caffeine as it saw fit, although Coca-Cola eventually lost when the government appealed to the Supreme Court.[7] It reached a settlement with the United States government to reduce the caffeine amount.

text: In addition to caffeine, the Pure Food and Drug Act required that drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, morphine, and cannabis, be accurately labeled with contents and dosage. Previously many drugs had been sold as patent medicines with secret ingredients or misleading labels. Cocaine, heroin, cannabis, and other such drugs continued to be legally available without prescription as long as they were labeled. It is estimated that sale of patent medicines containing opiates decreased by 33% after labeling was mandated.[8] The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 is cited by drug policy reform advocates such as James P. Gray as a successful model for re-legalization of currently prohibited drugs by requiring accurate labels, monitoring of purity and dose, and consumer education.[9]

text: Shatter Me

text: Plot[edit]

text:
Shatter Me follows the narrative of Juliette Ferrars, a 17-year-old girl with a paralyzing and killing touch. She can take living organisms' energy.
The book starts out with Juliette in an asylum due to the fact that she murdered a small boy three years prior. It is evident that Juliette is partly insane, both from isolation and at horror at herself; she also dreams of a bird. She writes in a small scrap of a notebook to convey her feelings as she has no one to talk to.
Soon, she gets a cellmate who goes by the name of Adam Kent. He reminds Juliette of someone, but she convinces herself that it is not possible that Adam is that person. She shows Adam the ways of the asylum, such as not to eat the scalding food immediately, and when the asylum's occupants are allowed to shower.
One day, the Reestablishment, a government that has the world within its grasp, comes for Juliette. It is revealed that Adam is a soldier for the leader of Sector 45 of the Reestablishment. The leader of Reestablishment's son, Warner, gives Juliette an offer that includes her being able to get out of the asylum in turn for her torturing any prisoners with her touch.
Warner forces Juliette to torture a soldier named Jenkins and then a small child through a simulated torture room because she wouldn't touch Warner. During her captivity, Juliette develops a romantic relationship with Adam, and we learn that Adam knew Juliette prior to the asylum, and is in love with her. We also learn that Adam can touch Juliette without being harmed or killed. Adam eventually helps Juliette escape from Warner, and as they escape, Warner's hand brushes against Juliette's ankle, which shows us that Warner can also touch Juliette without consequence.
They meet up with Adam's 10-year-old brother James, at Adam's house. One of Adam's fellow soldiers, Kenji Kishimoto shows up claiming that Warner had him tortured in order to learn Adam and Juliette's whereabouts. Kenji says that he knows a safe place where they can escape, and they formulate a plan.  Juliette and Adam split up with Kenji and James. While split up, Adam and Juliette are captured, and Warner shoots Adam.

tag: p

text: Warner drags Juliette into an abandoned classroom, and tells Juliette that he might love her. Juliette kisses Warner and seduces him to get his gun from him. She shoots him even though she is surprised by the spark ignited in her. She finds Adam in a slaughterhouse, and they escape. They meet up with Kenji, and James, who Kenji had given sedatives avoid James becoming traumatized by the condition Adam is in.

text: At the end of the book, it is revealed that Kenji is a member of the Rebellion against the Reestablishment called Omega Point. Adam, Juliette, and James are recruited by, and then join, the Rebellion. There are 3 other books in the series, Unravel Me, Ignite Me, and Restore Me (in that order). There are plans for two more books to be released.

text: Reception[edit]

text: Reviews for Shatter Me have been mixed,[5][6][7][8][9] with many reviewers stating criticisms while overall recommending the work.[10] Kirkus Reviews praised Shatter Me for its love story, but said that the ending "falls flat" and that there was an "overreliance on metaphor".[11] Publishers Weekly cited that while the book "doesn’t escape some rookie pitfalls," author Tahereh Mafi "combines a psychological opener with an action-adventure denouement in her YA debut," ultimately calling it "a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks".[12] Booklist gave a mixed review, noting that there were "plot conveniences and melodramatic writing to spare" while praising it for its "rip-roaring adventure and steamy romance scenes".[13]

text: A youth reviewer for the National Post recommended it highly, stating that it had "just the right amount of action to make it thrilling, but not exactly gruesome."[14] It was included in BuzzFeed's list of  Best YA Books of All time.[15]

text: Characters[edit]

text:
Juliette Ferrars: Juliette starts off as a scared, traumatized 17-year-old girl, having been abused, locked away, and made to feel like a monster her entire life. She struggles to trust others and has trouble making friends. Throughout the series she learns to control her powers and becomes more brave and confident. Despite being friendless for most of her life, Juliette is compassionate, kind, and easily sympathizes with those who are vulnerable.
Aaron Warner: 19-year-old leader of Sector 45 in the Reestablishment is shown as a very cold and manipulative person. Warner gradually changes into a more loving human being as the book progresses. He has blonde hair and green eyes, considered inhumanly handsome. Since the beginning of the series, he is desperately in love with Juliette which had been an obsession for a while. Although he may seem cold and ruthless, Juliette grows empathy for Warner and asserts him as a normal human, despite his denials. He can touch Juliette.
Adam Kent: A soldier in the army, 18 years old; he is in charge of Juliette after she is brought out of isolation. He is known as a handsome man with blue eyes, tattoos, and dark brown hair. He is shown to be in love with Juliette since they first saw/met eachother, as children. He can also touch Juliette.
Kenji Kishimoto: A 20-year-old soldier in Warner's army who is friends with Adam. He is later found out to be a member of Omega Point and is shown to have the gift of invisibility. He has a very joking personality and is a very chill person. He  is also very egotistical and that adds humor to his person.
James Kent: Adam's 10-year-old younger brother. He is extremely mature for his age.
Castle: Leader of the Rebellion (Omega Point). Castle is a thirty-year-old scientist with telekinetic powers...

text: Main characters[edit]

text: Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl[edit]

text: Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl (portrayed by Melissa Benoist) is a 24-year-old Kryptonian living in National City, who must embrace her powers after previously hiding them. She assists her adoptive sister as part of the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO) as she discovered the truth that her foster father also worked for the DEO so they would not take her, while Alex's co-workers at the DEO help her perfect her powers.[2][3] Kara works as Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo.[4] Benoist expressed her excitement over portraying the character, and being able to "(tell) a story about a human being really realizing their potential and their strength".[5] Claire Holt and Gemma Atkinson were considered for the role.[6][7][8] Malina Weissman and Izabela Vidovic portray a young Kara.[9][10]

text: In season two, Kara deals with feuds between Earth's native populace and extraterrestrial community, and struggles with romantic feelings for Daxamite prince Mon-El. She learns that Superman was a former member of the D.E.O., therefore this making her his successor within the organization.  She also becomes friends with Lex Luthor's paternal half-sister Lena, and enemies with Luthor and Mon-El's mothers Lillian and Rhea respectively. Kara also becomes a visiting superhero to Barry Allen's home universe and recurring ally to its heroes.

text: In season three, Kara deals with the threat of Selena and the Worldkillers. By the end of season three, Kara travels back in time to stop Sam from killing Selena's Worldkiller daughter Reign to prevent the sacrifice of Mon-El and her still-living mother Alura. When Kara uses the Harun-El (a Black Kryptonite) with Sam and Reign into the Fountain of Lilith taking down Reign, another Kara appearing in the border of Siberia. During the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover, Benoist also portrays Overgirl, her character's fascistic parallel universe counterpart from a Nazi-ruled world of Earth-X, with other performers including her stunt double Jennifer Clarke. She is also being referred by Harry Wells and Cisco Ramon as Supergirl-X and Kara-X. This Kara Zor-El is married to Oliver Queen's Earth-X's doppelgänger, Dark Arrow, and a member of the New Reichsmen. Overgirl later dies after being unable to acquire Kara's heart to replace her damaged organ, goes supernova, and then explodes in space.

text: James Olsen / Guardian[edit]

text: James Olsen (portrayed by Mehcad Brooks) is a former Daily Planet photographer who moved to National City and became the new art director for his former colleague, Cat Grant's media company, CatCo Worldwide Media. He is a potential love interest for Kara.[3][4][11] Among his reasons for moving across the country include his breakup with his fiancée, Lucy Lane (with whom he has since reconciled),[12] and keeping an eye on the newly revealed Supergirl for Superman, who considers him a close friend. While working at the Daily Planet, James received the Pulitzer Prize for taking the first photograph of Superman.

text: In the second season, though initially attracted to each other, James and Kara decided that they are incompatible as a couple but remain friends. With Winn's help, James becomes Guardian.[13] He was also named acting CEO of CatCo Worldwide Media after Cat Grant took a sabbatical from the company.

text: In season three, James and Lena Luthor begin a relationship. By the end of season three, James reveals himself to the public as the Guardian. Brooks briefly portrays a parallel universe version of his character from Earth-X, where he was a member of an underground resistance against the New Reich, the Freedom Fighters. This James Olsen / Guardian is killed by Dark Arrow after a fight.

text: Alex Danvers[edit]

text: Alexandra "Alex" Danvers (portrayed by Chyler Leigh) is Kara's adoptive sister. A brilliant scientist with a past as a party girl, she was hired by Hank Henshaw at the DEO after being arrested for drunk driving, in an effort to turn her life around and see potential in her. As Henshaw's protégée, Alex was personally trained by him in extensive combat, strategic tactics, and investigation after joining the DEO, eventually becoming his right-hand agent in the field. An exceptionally skilled combatant, marksman, tactician, and detective since, Alex tasks herself in providing rigorous training to Kara in order to decrease her reliance on her powers. Initially, like Kara, she becomes suspicious of the DEO and thus her own role upon learning of their father having worked there in order to protect Kara, but Alex ultimately learns that Henshaw is the Martian survivor J'onn J'onzz in shape-shifted disguise, whom her father (who she thought is dead) had rescued before his and the real Henshaw's deaths. After she is arrested and placed in custody for having known about J'onn, she and J'onn escape upon learning that her father is alive at Project Cadmus. She and J'onn are eventually pardoned by the President after they helped save the world from Non's attack with Kara and subsequently rejoin the DEO. Alex also obtains a kryptonite-powered exoskeleton from Non when she was under his mind control to fight Kara, which artificially enhances her strength and endurance when wearing it. She keeps the suit (however using another power source alternative Omegahedron) for later missions.

text: In season 2, Alex realizes her homosexuality and pursues a relationship with National City PD's detective, Maggie Sawyer. She also confides in Sawyer her secret that she is a DEO agent and occasionally works together.

text: In season 3, though Alex and Maggie were engaged to be married, but later they break it off after realizing their incompatibility as a couple, primarily based on Alex's desire to have kids, while Maggie had no yearning to do so. Alex meets Samantha Arias and her daughter Ruby, and envious of Samantha of her motherhood and adores Ruby. She befriends Samantha so that she can be close to Ruby, and hopes one day that she will have her own daughter like Samantha's. Alex had a one-night stand and develops a friendship with Sara Lance, a vigilante associate of Oliver Queen / Green Arrow and leader of the time-traveling superhero team, the Legends, from Earth-1; her encounter with Sara allows Alex to begin moving on from Maggie. She also befriends Barry Allen and Oliver when she arrives to attend the former's wedding with Kara.  She joins Earth-1 heroes and Kara to stop Earth-X invaders' scheme against the multiverse, and partnered with Sara when Kara was preoccupied with her villainous parallel universe doppelgänger Overgirl. Her scientific background is also invaluable in helping fellow scientists Harry Wells, Caitlin Snow, Martin Stein, Felicity Smoak, and Barry on Earth-1. Alex learns from Overgirl that she may have her own counterpart on Earth-X when she reveals to Alex that her adoptive sister tried to kill her once. Nearing the end of the season, in addition to her exoskeleton, Winn made a prototypical DEO protective suit for Alex, which is filled with advanced gadgetry for her needs in the field. In one episode, Alex made a reference that she worked in a hospital in Seattle before becoming a federal agent (a nod to Leigh's previous role as Dr. Lexie Grey in Grey's Anatomy). In a flashback, it is revealed that ten years previously, Alex first became close to Kara after investigating a murder mystery of their friend from high school together. By the end of season three, Alex becomes the new director of DEO.

text: Jordan Mazarati and Olivia Nikkanen portray a young Alex.[14][10]

text: Winn Schott[edit]

text: Winslow "Winn" Schott Jr. (portrayed by Jeremy Jordan) is a tech expert who works alongside Kara at CatCo and serves as one of her allies, helping her develop her costume and aiding her in her adventures as Supergirl. Winn has an unrequited crush on Kara and is rivals with James for her affection, and he later pursued a relationship with Cat's new assistant Siobhan Smythe until she turns into Supergirl's supernatural metahuman archenemy Silver Banshee. In the series, he is the son of Toyman.[4][15][16]

text: In the second season, he has left CatCo for a full-time position at the DEO recruited by Alex Danvers and J'onn J'onzz.[17] He and James also become best friends. Winn is responsible for helping James to become the Guardian while he is called the man in the van by James. In addition to remain improving Kara's costume and offers her tech support, Winn also makes his own modifications with her interdimensional extrapolator, a device she received from Earth-1's metahuman inventor Cisco Ramon.

text: In season 3, Winn helps in the fight against the Worldkillers. By the end of season three, Winn is invited to join the Legion of Super-Heroes as he invented the sub-atomic shield and its development saves countless people in the future. Together with Mon-El, he travels into future for saving it, starting his own journey as a hero. During the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover, an Earth-X version of Winn is introduced. General Winn Schott is the leader of the Freedom Fighters working against the New Reich on his world and thus is Dark Arrow's enemy. He is even able to obtain some of Dark Arrow's arsenal as trophies throughout their fights, therefore implies that Schott is a formidable adversary to the New Reich.

text: Starting in season 4, Jeremy Jordan will no longer be series regular in the show, but recurring instead.[18]

text: J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter & Hank Henshaw / Cyborg Superman[edit]

text: J'onn J'onzz (portrayed by David Harewood) is the head of the DEO who takes Hank Henshaw's likeness after Henshaw is killed in Peru while hunting J'onn. J'onn takes Henshaw's likeness in order to reform the DEO from within as well as a promise to Jeremiah Danvers to watch over Alex and Kara, who each subsequently trust him as a mentor after learning of his true identity. Prior to his escape from the holocaust on Mars, J'onn was a law enforcement officer to his people. In addition to his powers, J'onn learned various skills and knowledge after living on Earth over decades including martial arts, strategy, investigation tactics, in addition telepathically learned some of Henshaw's memories and knowledge, making him a formidable opponent when in human form without the need of his extraterrestrial abilities and more than capable to run the DEO in Henshaw's place. He takes Alex in as his protégée and forges her as a strong DEO agent, eventually she becomes his right-hand operative. In the episode "Falling", J'onn reveals to the whole world his true identity in order to stop Kara, who is affected by Red Kryptonite, from killing Alex. He is then arrested by the DEO agents who are at the scene, only to escape with Alex upon learning that Jeremiah has survived the attack and that he is being held at Project Cadmus, a facility that experiments with aliens and where he was going to be taken.

text: In season 2, J'onn begins a romantic relationship with a benevolent member of the White Martian race, M'gann M'orzz.

text: In season 3, it is revealed that J'onn's father is alive and they struggle to reconcile of their relationship. His spaceship is disguised as a 1952 vintage Chevrolet Deluxe convertible, in which J'onn, Kara, and Alex love to drive for pleasure. By the end of season three, after he succeeds the memory and knowledge from his father, J'onn leaves the DEO.

text: The evolution of Henshaw was discussed during the filming of the pilot, with the executive producers jokingly saying that Harewood would be a good actor to play the Martian Manhunter in a potential television series, to which DC Comics' Geoff Johns asked why it could not be done in Supergirl. Harewood reflected that he had a difficult time "find[ing] an angle to play Hank Henshaw" in the pilot, and became excited when he was told about the change for his character's backstory.[19]

text: Harewood also recurs as the real Hank Henshaw – a former CIA agent and ex-head of the DEO who is ruthless and obsessed with hunting down aliens he believed to be dangerous. He died after he stabbed Jeremiah Danvers in Peru while hunting the alien J'onn J'onzz. He was subsequently found and revived by Project Cadmus, who enhanced him to become the Cyborg Superman.[20]

text: Cat Grant[edit]

text: Cat Grant (portrayed by Calista Flockhart) is the founder and CEO of CatCo Worldwide Media, who feels, since she "branded" Kara as "Supergirl", that she has proprietary custody over the new hero.[4][21] She was the personal assistant to Perry White prior to being a gossip columnist at the Daily Planet. Cat investigates and reveals that Supergirl is Superman's cousin, which then causes her to become a target for some of Superman's enemies. She also serves as a mentor to Kara, dispensing advice about being a woman in a man's world. In the episode "Hostile Takeover", she begins to suspect that Kara is Supergirl, while the second-season finale reveals she knew Kara was Supergirl all along.

text: Flockhart became a recurring actress for the second season, due to the series' production shift to Vancouver and her desire to take on projects near her Los Angeles home.[22] To accommodate this, Cat decides to take a leave of absence from CatCo, leaving James in charge during the second episode of season two. She returns in the final two episodes to help protect National City from the Daxamite invasion.[23] Flockhart will remain a recurring guest star for the third season.[24] In the third season's premiere, it is revealed that Cat has become Olivia Marsdin's Press Secretary.

text: Mon-El[edit]

text: Mon-El (portrayed by Chris Wood) is a survivor and prince of a royal family from the planet Daxam who seeks to become a superhero on Earth. Due to Daxamites being an offshoot of Kryptonians, Mon-El has similar powers to Superman and Supergirl. Mon-El crash lands on Earth in an escape pod at the end of the first season.  His carefree and somewhat laid-back nature leads to friction with Kara as she mentors him in the ways of being a hero.[25][26][27] Mon-El eventually falls in love with Kara and they become a couple. After Kara triggers a weapon that laces the atmosphere with lead dust in order to stop Rhea's Daxamite army, Mon-El is forced to leave Earth.

text:
In season three, it is revealed that Mon-El's pod was sucked into a wormhole and he time-traveled to the 31st century. He was in the future for seven years, where L-Corp administered a serum that gives him immunity to lead poisoning.  Despite his love for Kara, Mon-El ultimately marries Imra Ardeen before he returns to the 21st century with her and other passengers for an unknown mission. He is also revealed to be the founder of the superhero team, the Legion.
In season 4, Chris Wood's character as Mon-El would no longer appear.

text: Maggie Sawyer[edit]

text: Maggie Sawyer (portrayed by Floriana Lima) is a detective for the National City Police Department who takes a special interest in the cases involving aliens, metahumans, and other extraordinary occurrences. She uses her own experience as a lesbian to help guide Alex as the latter struggles to understand her own sexuality, and the two eventually begin a romantic relationship.[28] However in season three because Maggie does not want to have children, Alex breaks up with her.

text: Lima became a recurring actress for the third season. She noted the role was only intended to last for one season.[29]

text: Lena Luthor[edit]

text: Lena Luthor (portrayed by Katie McGrath) is the CEO of L-Corp (formerly known as Luthor Corp) and the younger paternal half-sister of Lex Luthor. She arrives in National City after Lex has been incarcerated, hoping to rebrand Luthor Corp as a force for good.[30] As the daughter of Lionel Luthor, to whom she is close, Lena tries to redeem her family name after Lex's crimes have tarnished it and to break from her half-brother and step-mother's legacy. Initially, she believed that she was the adopted daughter of the Lionel and Lillian Luthor, but Lena learns that she is actually Lionel's illegitimate child from his extramarital affair. Lena meets Kara after Kara is assigned to interview Lena about L-Corp. Shortly after, the two develop a strong friendship. Later in the season she is taken advantage of by Rhea, under guise of fixing the portal to get her home, but instead brought all the Daxamites to Earth. She is almost married off to Mon-El before the wedding is interrupted and they escape where she then aids her mother and Winn in driving away the Daxamites. Camille Marty portrays a young Lena.[31] McGrath was promoted to series regular for the third season.[32]

text: In season 3, she buys CatCo Media to prevent Morgan Edge from taking it over and decides to run CatCo personally, temporarily handing over control of L-Corp to Sam Arias. Unlike her half-brother, Lena is able to develop a formula to create synthetic Kryptonites. Like Cat Grant, she knows Kara is Supergirl, but is too slowly to search the truth. By the end of season 3, Lena synthesizes the Kryptonian mineral Harun-El in her labortary since it is a form of Black Kryptonite, and starts the phase 2 of her experiment.

text: Samantha Arias / Reign[edit]

text: Samantha "Sam" Arias / Reign (portrayed by Odette Annable) is an unknowing Kryptonian survivor sent to Earth by a party of Kryptonian prestresses as an infant prior to its destruction.[33][34] Sam was adopted by Patricia Arias.  Although she grew up without knowledge of her origins, she is sensing that there is something unusual within herself and fears it.  Samantha is also a single mother who struggles to raise her daughter Ruby, having distanced herself from her adoptive mother when she became pregnant with her daughter as a teenager.  At one point, Sam demonstrated superhuman strength that let her lift a fallen tower off of her daughter Ruby during a terrorist attack; but she believes her strength in the moment was merely derived from epinephrine (adrenaline) and the heightened emotion of distress, and she loses the extra strength immediately after.  She works with Lena Luthor, and is promoted to be the acting CEO of L-Corp after Lena Luthor buys CatCo, and later becomes its CFO. She and her daughter also later befriend Alex and Kara Danvers. Throughout the season, Sam forms close friendships with Lena, Alex, and Kara. She finds out from her adoptive mother that she arrived on Earth in a space pod and thus she is an extraterrestrial in origin. Under the pod's key's guidance, Sam travels to a desert that leads to a hidden Kryptonian fortress, where a hologram in the form of one of the dark priestesses, Selena, informs Sam of her heritage and that she is engineered as a "Worldkiller," a living biological weapon of enhanced Kryptonian physiology who was sent to rule Earth; her pregnancy kept her from coming into her powers. Sam was not willing to accept this, but her full powers manifested, awakening her dormant alternative personality Reign. By the end of the season, it is revealed that Selena is Reign's birth mother, therefore is Sam's as well.

text: After returning home, Sam remains a devoted mother to Ruby with no memories of her actions as Reign, while her Kryptonian alter-ego becomes a black-clad, masked vigilante who indiscriminately kills those she sees as evildoers. However, Reign and two other Worldkillers are each designed to have dissociative identity in order to keep their existences hidden, yet Sam is stronger than Reign in control because of her devotion to Ruby, keeping Reign from fully takes over. During her first encounter with Kara's alter-ego Supergirl, Reign battles and defeats her, leaving the superheroine in a coma for days.

text: After Supergirl emerges from her coma, Reign is at odds with her, the DEO, and the Legion. Reign learned that are more Worldkillers on Earth and seeks to find them. She manages to get Purity on her side when she surrenders to Reign.

text: Following the deaths of Purity and Pestilence, Reign absorbed their abilities and got away. Reign later targeted Ruby causing Supergirl and Alex Danvers to work in protecting her. Thanks to some Kryptonite, Supergirl, Mon-El, and Kara were able to incapacitate her enough to render her unconscious as they work to find a way to get rid of the Reign side of her. Later, using a mineral from Krypton calls the Harun-El, which is a form of Black Kryptonite, they are able to split Sam from Reign.  Sam joins the fight against Reign and the dark priestesses after endowing powers that matches Reign's.  In one timeline, Sam kills Reign, but at the cost of her own life and her allies, but Supergirl travels back in time, and changes the outcome of Reign's defeat and averted the deaths. In the reset timeline, though still defeating Reign by herself, because of another exposure to the Harun-El during the fight, Sam is rid of the Kryptonian side from her, therefore again having no powers once more and having a chance to again living a normal life with her daughter.

text: Recurring characters[edit]

text: This is a list of recurring actors and the characters they portrayed in multiple episodes, which were significant roles. The characters are listed by the order in which they first appeared.

text: Introduced in season one[edit]

text:
Alura Zor-El (portrayed by Laura Benanti in season one and two, Erica Durance in season three) – Kara's biological mother who is the twin sister of Astra In-Ze. Alura's guidance (both in flashbacks, and as a Kryptonian Artificial Intelligence which acts as Kara's holographic virtual "mother", whose advice Kara can access in the present day) proves invaluable in Kara's journey.[35] Due to a fail-safe that Zor-El built around Argo City to protect it from Krypton's explosion, Alura is still alive and is part of Argo City's High Council.
Astra In-Ze (portrayed by Laura Benanti) – The aunt of Kara and the twin sister of Alura. plots to rule the Earth and targets Kara for revenge upon Alura, who was the judge who sentenced her to imprisonment at Fort Rozz, though she claims that she wanted to save Krypton and Earth. Attempting to kill J'onn J'onzz in the episode "For the Girl Who Has Everything", Astra is killed by Alex; thus, Non, her husband, seeks revenge on Kara. It is later revealed that Astra and Non created Myriad, a mind control program that is designed for the purpose of saving environment but can also be used to enslave people, and hence, is the main reason they are sentenced to Fort Rozz for life.[36] It was announced that Erica Durance would take over for Benanti as Alura for the third season, due to Benanti's other commitments. Durance previously portrayed Lois Lane on Smallville.[37]
Eliza Danvers (portrayed by Helen Slater[38]) – A scientist and Kara's foster mother, who is more protective of Kara than she is of her biological daughter, Alex. She is the one to tell Kara and Alex about her husband working with the DEO in order to protect Kara and warns them about Hank as he is not to be trusted because of his involvement in Jeremiah's death. After the revelation that J'onn J'onzz has secretly taken over leadership of the DEO in Henshaw's place, Eliza occasionally offers her scientific expertise for the organization when needed. Slater portrayed Supergirl in the 1984 film[39][40] and Lara-El in the television series Smallville.
Jeremiah Danvers (portrayed by Dean Cain[39]) – A scientist and Alex's biological father and Kara's foster father, who offered his services to the DEO by working with Hank in order to protect Kara. Ten years earlier and under mysterious circumstances, he and Hank went to South America to capture J'onn J'onzz, with whom Jeremiah became friends after the alien saved him. When Hank caught up and saw them shake hands, he tried to kill J'onn, leading to a fight between Jeremiah and Hank while trying to keep Hank from killing J'onzz; Hank then stabbed Jeremiah, who later killed him in self-defense, collapsed on the ground, and was left for dead. He asked J'onzz to watch over his daughters.[19] In the present, J'onn learns that Jeremiah not only survived the attack, but is also alive and being held at Project Cadmus. In season 2, Jeremiah is rescued and attempts to reintegrate into his family and the DEO, but eventually betrays them to Cadmus. It is revealed that he made an uneasy alliance with Lillian Luthor in order to protect Alex and Kara from her, and that he has been cybernetically enhanced like Hank Henshaw. He later turns against Cadmus. Cain portrayed Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.[38][39][40]
Vasquez (portrayed by Briana Venskus) – A DEO agent who often works closely with Hank (J'onn), Alex, and Kara/Supergirl and is responsible for coordinating/relaying information on alien attacks or other incidents.
Maxwell Lord (portrayed by Peter Facinelli[41]) – A tech mogul who is fascinated by Supergirl.[42] Lord deduces that Supergirl has a secret identity and is determined to learn it at any cost, becoming her enemy in the process, eventually using Supergirl's connections to Alex and eavesdropping on the latter. After unleashing Bizarro on Supergirl, Maxwell is arrested by Alex and held by the DEO. The DEO eventually releases him, but warns him never to tell anyone the truth about Supergirl or the DEO; otherwise, they will release enough evidence of his crimes to send him to jail. Maxwell later helps Supergirl in stopping Non's attacks, but he later obtains a supply of Kryptonian power source Omegahedron from Sam Lane.
Barry Allen / Flash (portrayed by Grant Gustin) – A crime scene investigator from Central City on Earth-1 who becomes a superhero speedster after being hit by dark-matter infused lightning. Barry accidentally arrives in Supergirl's reality after crossing a dimensional barrier while testing a tachyon accelerator with S.T.A.R. Labs, befriends Kara and Winn, and reveals the existences of the multiverse and metahumans to the former and her allies. The Flash helps Supergirl battle against Livewire and the Silver Banshee in addition to offering her advice and support and providing means for Supergirl's Earth's inhabitants to combat their world's surfacing metahuman threats, and eventually returns to his world with Supergirl's help. In season 2, Barry and his fellow heroes from his Earth recruit Kara to their universe to help fight against the Dominators, an armada of alien invaders who attack their world due to their fear of superpowered beings. The DEO eventually establishes an alliance with Earth-1's S.T.A.R. Labs after an encounter with the Music Meister. Kara and the DEO have since accessing S.T.A.R. Labs' technology and occasionally teams with Earth-1's heroes on missions. Gustin was the third Glee alum to appear on the show, after Benoist and Jenner, with Criss going on to be the fourth. Gustin reprises his role from The Flash.[43]
Non (portrayed by Chris Vance) – A former scientist in league with the House of El and a brutal Kryptonian military officer who is sinister, powerful, and angry – the antithesis of all things Supergirl stands for and becomes her greatest threat[44][45][46], eventually one of the main antagonists of season one's arc besides Indigo. He is Astra's husband—and hence Kara's uncle—and second-in-command. He seeks revenge on Kara for Astra's death. However, despite his marriage to Astra, Non is not a faithful husband; he had an affair with Indigo at some point prior to being sentenced to the Phantom Zone.
Lucy Lane (portrayed by Jenna Dewan-Tatum) – The younger sister of Lois Lane and James' ex-fiancée.[47][48] In addition to her duties as trial counsel (prosecutor) for the Judge Advocate General's Corps, United States Army (where she held the rank of major), Lucy is a legal attaché on her father's staff, though she resigns her commission in order to remain in National City.[49] She later accepts a job as general counsel for CatCo. In the same episode, it is mentioned that she graduated from the United States Military Academy and earned her J.D./M.B.A. from Harvard Law School.[50] After breaking up with James again, Lucy leaves CatCo and returns to the military. She works with Colonel Jim Harper on the investigation into J'onn J'onzz. However, when Kara reveals to her that she is Supergirl, she helps rescue Hank and Alex, and is later named acting director of the DEO.[51] By the end of the first season, Lucy officially becomes a co-director with J'onn J'onzz after he returns to the DEO.
Leslie Willis / Livewire (portrayed by Brit Morgan) – A confident, abrasive, and funny shock-jock who works for CatCo and becomes as dangerous and shocking as her words following an accident[42][44] in which Supergirl rescues her from a potential helicopter crash during a lightning storm.[52] The rescue backfires when Supergirl gets struck by lightning while pulling Leslie out of the helicopter—electrocuting them both and giving Leslie electrical powers. She is captured and given over to the DEO. However, she is later broken out of prison by Siobhan Smythe/Silver Banshee, who wants to team up with her to get revenge on Cat. Along with her new partner, she is defeated by Supergirl again, this time with the help of The Flash and the citizens of National City, and is placed in police custody after The Flash adds new features to the National City Police Department on countering and imprisoning metahuman criminals. In the second season, she is taken from prison in an attempt to harvest her power; she is saved by Supergirl, who allows her to escape under a temporary truce. She dies during a fight with Reign.
Sam Lane (portrayed by Glenn Morshower) – A powerful military general and overprotective father to both Lucy and Lois whose arrival in National City stirs up trouble for Supergirl when he enlists her in a dangerous government initiative.[53]

He was only shown briefly during the first season having found Kara and only communicated via chat messaging.[54] Daniel DiMaggio appears as an alternate, teenage version of the character in a dream sequence.[55][56] Near the end of the first season, Superman proves vulnerable to Myriad's mind control, as Maxwell Lord put it "watched Sesame Street and went to preschool; nurture over nature." This leaves him unconscious in the DEO until the last episode, where he wonders if the headache he's having is what a hangover is like. He comes to National City at the beginning of Season 2 to help Kara out in dealing with Project Cadmus and Metallo before leaving to return to Metropolis, vowing to return if Kara needs it. At the end of season 2, Rhea uses silver Kryptonite to compel him to fight Kara, who is forced to knock him out. After he recovers from the Kryptonite, he helps Kara repel Rhea's invasion fleet.

When she sees a video of Supergirl (under the influence of Red Kryptonite) letting an alien get away, she tries to pitch it to Cat, and then tries to sell it to Cat's former employer, Daily Planet. When Cat finds this out, she fires Siobhan for her disloyalty. After another attempt to gain revenge on Kara fizzles, she discovers that she has the power to sonic scream.[51] Upon learning that the women of her family are taken over by a banshee's spirit whenever they are wronged, Siobhan decides to get even with Cat and Kara by teaming up with Livewire; in the process, she embraces her curse for the powers it provides and becomes Silver Banshee. In addition to her hypersonic ability, the Silver Banshee's strength and endurance are on par with Supergirl's after her powers increased and is implied that she would have other abilities. Despite hating Kara, Siobhan chooses not to kill her, knowing that she would break her curse and lose her powers if she does until someone wronged her once more. Ironically, not knowing that Supergirl is Kara, and if the Silver Banshee kills the superhero, she would become a regular human again. She is later defeated by Supergirl and the Flash, along with Livewire, and both she and her partner are imprisoned in metahuman cells provided by the Flash.
