00:00In Superman, there's a reason why Supergirl looks younger than Superman, even though she's actually
00:04older than him. When Krypton was about to explode, Kara's parents sent her to Earth with an important
00:08mission, to protect Kal-El, her cousin, who was still a baby. Kara was a teenager at the time,
00:13but something unexpected happened during her journey. Her pod got lost or trapped in the
00:17Phantom Zone, depending on the version of the story. And that changed everything. While Kal
00:21traveled straight to Earth and grew up normally, Kara's pod drifted through space, frozen in time.
00:25Years later, when she finally arrived on Earth, everything had already changed. The baby she was
00:29meant to protect had become Superman, a fully formed hero. That's why, even though she's older,
00:34she appears to be younger. The most curious part is that she still carries out her original mission,
00:38to protect the man who now looks older but is, in fact, her younger cousin.
