Something Supergirl has gotten a lot of praise for is its portrayal of relationships between women, which it does very well. However, while Kara has great relationships with her adoptive sister Alex and mentor Cat Grant, something she lacks in comparison is female friends. Theres Lucy Lane, but so far her function has largely been to keep Kara from getting together with Jimmy Olsen so early in the show. I can think of no better candidate for Karas superpal than Mgann Morzz, Miss Martian. Largely known for her role in the tragically short lived Young Justice cartoon, Megan is the niece of the Martian Manhunter, who, depending on the continuity, came into her uncle's care after leaving Mars. She and Kara actually have a lot in common. Firstly, theyre both the female relative of a DC comics legend. Secondly, they both usually have a bubbly kind demeanor that turns to frighteningly destructive rage when angered. And thirdly, theyre both young alien women trying to find their way on earth, and reconciling their place in the universe. Theyd have quite a bit to talk about, and Kara could always use another alien ally to help when any Darkseid(sp?) sized threats come knocking. It would also provide great story lines for John Jonzz, as it would mean that hed no longer be the last of his kind. And that guy could always use reasons to be less mopey.
