Go To

Issue 1:

  • Lex Luthor can’t stop himself from gloating prematurely...
    Superman: You'll... never win, Luthor!
    Lex: Oh, but I already have! You see this robot was built specifically to negate your vaunted Kryptonian strength. It would take a rocket forged in another dimension to...
    (Supergirl's rocket smashes into Lex's mecha)
    Lex: Oh.
  • According to Kara, her parents sent her to Earth because "We were willing to overlook the 101% grade point average, and the records of perfection in all your school activities, but this request for seasoning is your final display of insolence!"

Issue 2:

  • Kara's frequent daydreams about being "Moon Supergirl."

Issue 3:

  • Linda has to stop a meteor. She spends so long coming up with a plan -swatting it with a giant racket- that the meteor smashes into her.
  • Kara imagines Superman tying her to a rocket and blasting her off into space:
    Superman: Supergirl, for failing to protect your secret identity, I hereby banish you into the most remote of black holes, where even light cannot escape and hope withers and dies!
    Supergirl: Why are people always launching me into space?!!
  • A meteorite crashes into the school and most of the students get superpowers, but those who don't are put into a remedial class where they're taught, as normal people, their existence is meaningless. Kara gets out of the class to answer a distress call by pretending some "invisible superhero" is manhandling her to cover her flying. As Kara is taken away "to her doom," Lena proclaims "I WILL AVENGE YOU!" Bonus points for their teacher clearly not giving a shit.
  • Supergirl tries to give herself the power to time travel to go back and stop the meteorite from hitting the school, but because she doesn't know what powers the fragment will give her, fears at one point she'll be turned into cheese. "I'm too delicious to live!"

Issue 4:

  • When Lena discovers that Linda is Supergirl, Linda briefly envisions a scene where Lena happily becomes Supergirl's sidekick and they join forces to fight crime in "The Supermobile." Lena's real answer is less than encouraging.
    Lena Thorul: Are you INSANE?!
    Supergirl: It was just a thought...
  • Streaky punches Belinda through a wall, and the following exchange occurs:
    Belinda Zee: Did the cat just punch me?!
    Supergirl (Chasing after Streaky): Bad kitten! Stop being evil!
    Belinda Zee: Hunh.
    Lena Thorul (Chasing after Supergirl): REVENGE!
    Belinda Zee: Okay then. As long as we're all on the same page.
  • Belinda getting mauled by Streaky, plus the fact that Supergirl and Lena either don't notice or don't care.

Issue 5:

  • In the midst of Belinda's chaotic rampage in the fifth issue, she sees Supragirl (Kara's doppelganger from another timeline) and accuses of her of thinking she's better than everyone else, and imagines herself as an arrogant little angel prancing through the sky on a magic flying horse. Cue Supergirl crashing into a building on Comet the Super-Horse's back. Belinda's only response is she wasn't being serious.
    Supergirl: Ah... hey guys. So, uh... what's going on?
    Belinda Zee: I was trying to give a big villainous speech, but apparently you're too busy being two people and having a horse to let me do that.
  • Lena's unhinged declaration that if anyone is going to subjugate the student body, it's gonna be her.

Issue 6:

  • Even being turned into a statue can't stop Belinda's snarkiness. And better yet, Supergirl realizes she can hear all of Belinda's thoughts inside her head... and promptly expresses how creepy that is.
  • When an insane Lena shows up again, Supergirl drops Belinda on the ground.
    Superior Girl: Yeah I'm fine guys. Just been turned into a blue crystal statue. Been through horrible emotional turmoil. Obviously not a priority. Jerks.
  • In what appears to be a dramatic scene between Supergirl and Lena, who refuses to listen to her and immediately fires her cannon... a bunch of flowers end up coming out instead, causing Lena to put her insanity on hold while she checks if something's wrong with it.
    Lena: Okay, that totally wasn't supposed to shoot flowers.
