Although it is late I will respond. The Supergirl who debuted after
Crisis on Infinite Earths was the only version of Supergirl that I liked. She started out as a being composed of protomatter that could take any shape she chose (how she came about is a long story) and had enhanced strength and flight. Unfortunately, because of her origin she felt empty inside (once she said she looked in her eyes in a mirror and saw nothing looking back).
Eventually, she encounters a young woman, Linda Danvers, who is dying. To save her life, Supergirl merges with her and they became one being. Now she can only switch between Linda Danvers (with the only difference being that she now has blue eyes instead of brown) and Supergirl. The tag line of the series was "They told her to get a life, they didn't say whose...) and it turned out that Linda was very troubled young woman who fell in with a very wrong crowd. Eventually, after an especially traumatic event, that Supergirl departed for parts unknown, never to appear again. As far as I know, she has now been completely deleted from continuity.
I have found the subsequent Supergirls to be very unlikable characters.
