When the planet Krypton exploded sending the infant Superman to Earth, a small fragment was blown into another dimension. Years later, the fragment -- christened Argo City by the survivors -- is keeps its residents alive thanks to a powerful energy source called the Omegahedron. But when a young Kryptonian girl named Kara accidentally causes the Omegahedron to escape the confines of the city, she boards an experimental spacecraft and follows the Omegahedron to the planet Earth. There, she discovers she has developed incredible powers -- and Supergirl is born. Thus armed, Kara searches for the Omegahedron -- only to discover it has been discovered by an amateur witch named Selena who can use its energy to power her own evil spells. To retrieve the Omegahedron, Supergirl must battle Selena and thwart the witch's plan for world domination.
