Her history was completely erased following the conclusion of that event. **Post-Crisis history**: Kara Zor-El, the daughter of Kryptonians [Zor-El][7899] and [Alura In-Ze][7726], was saved when they rocketed her to Earth just before their sanctuary, Argo City, was destroyed by Brainiac. Her rocket got knocked off course, so the ship's computer put Kara into suspended animation for decades while it followed a new course. When she arrived on Earth, Kara was now younger than her once-younger cousin [Kal-El (Clark Kent / Superman)][33]. Kara was later adopted by [Jeremiah][63422] and [Eliza Danvers][63423].
