Fictional character biography
Meeting Superman When three Kryptonian criminals escaped into a pocket reality, they laid waste to the alternate version of the Earth. There was no Superman on this reality (his younger self, Superboy, having died before the criminals' escape) but there was a Lex Luthor. Using an artificial lifeform called the "protoplasmic matrix," Lex made a red-headed woman who resembled his true love, the deceased alternate reality Lana Lang, even having Lana's memories due to her synaptic pathways being copied into the creature. This Lex had also patterned her physiology to resemble Superman's, whom he had seen using one of his many inventions to look into the mainstream universe. It has been suggested that Krypton glossary be merged into this article or section. ...

Like Superman the creature was superhumanly strong and fast and could fly, but also had the powers of shapeshifting, psychokinesis, and invisibility. The girl, whom Luthor called Matrix, was given a feminine version of Superman's uniform, shape-shifted into a young blonde woman, and fought the three criminals as "Supergirl". Her powers were no match for theirs, tho'. Desperate, Lex sent Matrix into the mainstream universe to recruit Superman. Her efforts were successful, and Superman did aid in stopping the Kryptonian criminals, but the alternate Earth had been ruined, and was now lifeless. Superman took the orphaned Matrix back to the mainstream DC Universe with him.

John Lindley Byrne (born July 6, 1950) is a British-born naturalised American author and artist of comic books. ...
"Supergirl" Upon arrival on the mainstream Earth, Matrix was taken to live with Superman's parents, the Kents. Jonathan and Martha did a fine job raising their new "daughter", but Matrix (or "Mae" as she was named by the Kents) became delusional for a time, believing she was Clark, even assuming his form. After a fight with the real Superman Matrix came to her sense, but concerned that she might become unstable again and cause the Kents harm, she fled into outer space.
After many adventures (or misadventures), she returned to Earth, where she met and fell in love with the mainstream Lex Luthor. Again donning the uniform her reality's Lex had given her, (and once again in the form of the young blonde woman), she assumed the role of Supergirl in the mainstream DC universe, determined to make this Earth a better one than the one she left. One of her first acts was to return to Smallville, Kansas, and reunite with her "parents" Jonathan and Martha Kent. For other uses, see Supergirl (disambiguation). ...
Smallville is the fictional hometown of Clark Kent. ...
Her parents and Superman were a little shocked when they learned that their dear Mae was now dating Luthor. Mae actually began living with Lex, and even had an altercation with her "brother" Superman over it.
When Superman was killed by Doomsday, Supergirl used her powers to protect Metropolis, but was met with some derision, as many people saw her as Luthor's "pet", but she did an admirable job of saving rescue victims, teaching the new hero Superboy about the importance of being serious when saving lives, and helped Superman return once he was found to be alive again. She even posed as Clark Kent, pretending that Clark was trapped in a well-stocked cellar during Doomsday's initial attack, to help explain why Clark was gone while Superman was dead. Doomsday is the name of a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe, a supervillain best known for fighting and killing Superman in the Death of Superman storyline in 1993. ...

But her biggest shock came when she learned that Lex had cloned her, making thousands of his own personal "Supergirls". She went berserk, and destroyed his lab, his clones, and almost killed Lex before he fell into a coma. She decided to join the Teen Titans for a short while, but left shortly afterwards, realizing that it just wasn't for her. Teen Titans redirects here. ...
Earth-born Angel - See also: Linda Danvers
After some soul searching, Mae began to wonder if she was even a real person or if she even had a soul. But this was solved when she held the hand of a dying girl named Linda Danvers Matrix's shape-shifting ability somehow merging the two into the new Supergirl, and became an Earth Born Angel of Fire, simultaneously losing her shape-shifting abilities as she subconsciously defined herself as just Linda and Supergirl. The remnants of her protoplasmic form that were not absorbed in the merge became an insane Matrix, who fought the Mae/Linda merged Supergirl, until she was absorbed by Blithe, the Earth Angel of Light. Later, when the good aspect of Matrix was separated from Linda, she was merged with Twilight, and became a new Angel of Fire.

Powers and abilities The Matrix from the Pocket Universe was a protoplasmic lifeform and had a malleable genome, so she could assume any humanoid form of similar mass. But her primary power was psychokinesis which she could use to move objects with her mind and enhance her strength and speed to superhuman levels. By levitating herself, she could fly at supersonic speeds. She used her psychokinesis to surround herself with an aura of psionic invulnerability which could deflect almost any attack. By deflecting lightwaves and sound waves with her aura, she could become invisible and inaudible, even to Superman's senses. She could focus her psychokinesis into devastating force blasts, or extend a psionic barrier around others to shield them from harm. She could even use her psi-power to rearrange the molecular structure of fabrics, and alter clothing and costumes with her thoughts (an ability that enabled her to change her clothing when she changed shape, and turn tattered rags into a costume for Superman). However, she lost her shapeshifting powers and invisibility after the merge with Linda Danvers, as she had now 'defined' herself as being uniquely Linda and Supergirl.
