00:07Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking at the time Supergirl proves she can be more
00:13dangerous than even the Man of Steel. Number 10 Supergirl vs Unruly Truckers
00:27Supergirl. Long before superheroes were trading punches in massive CGI battles
00:37Supergirl gave us a much simpler kind of justice. Shortly after arriving on Earth
00:42Kara finds herself harassed by a pair of sleazy truckers who think they found an
00:46easy target. Big mistake. What follows is one of the film's most satisfying
00:56moments as the seemingly innocent Kryptonian effortlessly puts the creeps in
01:00their place. Helen Slater perfectly balances Kara's sweetness with quiet
01:04confidence, making the scene feel playful instead of outright vicious. There's
01:09something undeniably fun about watching these guys slowly realize they picked the
01:13wrong woman to mess with. Sure the effects and choreography are pure 1980s cheese
01:18but that's part of the charm. Sometimes classic superhero playback never goes out
01:22of style. I think maybe we should kind of keep this to ourselves. What do you think?
01:33Number 9 Supergirl vs Mon-El Legion of Superheroes
01:47Betrayal hits especially hard when it comes from someone you trust and that's
01:51exactly why this showdown feels particularly explosive. After Mon-El reveals his
01:55treachery and alliance with the Dark Circle, Supergirl wastes no time stepping up.
02:00While he can technically keep up with her due to their similar physiologies, she bosses the
02:04fight from start to finish.
02:16Try as he might, he's got no real answer to her offense. Soon enough, Mon-El resorts to
02:21diplomacy in an attempt to lure her into his cause. Of course, Kara isn't one to fall for
02:27such tricks and it isn't long before he's down for good. The fight shows us our heroine
02:32finally stepping up as the leader and looking pretty awesome at it.
02:44Number 8 Supergirl vs Facility Guards The Flash
02:55Locked away in a secret facility for years, it's only natural that Kara's looking to blow off some steam.
03:01In one of The Flash's most satisfying scenes, Kara unleashes her rawest power. After being rescued by
03:07Barry and Batman, the weakened Kryptonian absorbs the yellow sun for the first time in ages, offering a terrifying
03:13look into what she's truly capable of.
03:23Unfortunately for them, the armed guards are on the receiving end of her wrath.
03:28Sasha Kelly instantly won over viewers in a fight that feels far more aggressive and unbridled than audiences expected.
03:34In retrospect, running for their lives would have been a far better strategy, as the henchmen find out first-hand
03:40why you don't rub a raging Kryptonian the wrong way.
03:52Number 7 Supergirl vs Lex Luthor
03:54Supergirl
03:56You can thank your sister for this.
04:01He may be Superman's arch enemy, but Lex is more than happy to antagonize his cousin as well.
04:06And in the fourth season finale, Lex and Kara finally face off in a battle that goes big and explosive.
04:12Armed with the Kryptonian gauntlets, Lex seems to have his trump card on hand,
04:16only for Kara to unveil a surprise of her own.
04:18Even so, it takes a tragic sacrifice from Red Daughter for our heroine to truly get one up on Lex,
04:24as the stakes get even higher.
04:33The CW's smaller budget doesn't make the fight as grand as it could have been,
04:37but with both actors fully committed to the moment,
04:40we feel its impact almost as hard as Supergirl punches.
04:43I'd rather die.
04:52Number 6 Supergirl vs Artemis
04:54Superman Batman Apocalypse
05:04Her name might not be in the title, but Kara is the narrative lead in this DC animated movie.
05:10While most of Supergirl's tussles end with her victory, this one goes the other way.
05:15However, it's how it contributes to her growth that the fight remains strong in memory.
05:19Rather than relying on her natural strength,
05:21Kara engages with Artemis in a test of skill on Themyscira.
05:25The brief duel leads to defeat, but the protagonist understands where her inherent
05:29abilities end and where her true skills begin.
05:31While she could level all of Themyscira on her own if she wanted to,
05:35the fight isn't about dominance, but for Kara to learn just how far she can push herself.
05:47Number 5 Supergirl vs. Metallo
05:50Justice League Unlimited
05:59It's not in Kara's nature to run away from a fight.
06:02DCAU fans first witness this in her bout against Power Girl.
06:06But when her opponent is fueled by Kryptonite, it's time for her to adapt her usual strategy.
06:11After Metallo gives chase, Kara finds herself trapped underground in a clash that requires
06:15as much width as it does to termination.
06:18As Kara's power slowly drains in Metallo's presence,
06:21we can sense the extra layer of tension that turns her surroundings entirely claustrophobic.
06:34But even as she crawls and struggles, our heroine refuses to back down against an enemy
06:39specifically designed to destroy her kind. And just as she seizes victory,
06:43Kara proves she's just as much brains as she is brawn.
06:47You have none of Superman's strength.
06:50But I got brains.
06:59Number 4 Supergirl vs. Non Supergirl
07:10This fight functions as a two-parter, starting from the protagonist's defeat
07:13and ending with her victory. When Kara first confronts the Kryptonian warlord,
07:17it's clear she's out of her depth. Still, her grit and tenacity are without
07:22doubt as Kara fights back even as the pair takes their battle to the skies.
07:26While she comes up short during that clash,
07:28she's far better prepared for its culmination in the season finale.
07:35Although it seems to go exactly as it did first time,
07:38Kara's willingness to tap into her ruthless side tips the scales in her favor.
07:42The villain's defeat is by no means pretty,
07:44but we get a first-hand account of how brutal Kara can be when the going gets tough.
07:57Number 3 Supergirl vs. Zod The Flash
08:11When it comes to Kryptonian enemies, it doesn't get any bigger than General Zod.
08:15After this version of the character reveals his elimination of Kal-El,
08:19an enraged Kara goes on a no-holds-barred rampage.
08:22Calling this a fight is giving Zod more credit than he deserves,
08:25as the villain finds himself overwhelmed under Supergirl's relentless barrage.
08:32At this moment, Kara mirrors what the audience is feeling,
08:36her all-around assault serving as a moment of catharsis.
08:39Although the bad guy wins through nefarious and underhanded tactics,
08:43the fight goes a long way towards showing that a blood-lusted Supergirl
08:47might just be the scariest sight in the DC Universe.
08:54Number 2 Supergirl vs. Darkseid
08:57Superman Batman Apocalypse
08:59I gave my word I would not come for the girl.
09:07Taking on the ruler of Apocalypse is the ultimate step of validation for any character.
09:12And not only does Supergirl step up for this clash, she even flirts with victory.
09:18Darkseid
09:27Among the most destructive battles in DC history,
09:31Kara stands in the way of Darkseid after the latter disposes of Superman.
09:34The villain gets some hard hitting shots in,
09:36yet nearly comes short against Supergirl's endless determination.
09:39Along with magic and blow for blow, Kara improvises her way through the battle,
09:44leaving the warlord within inches of defeat.
09:47Loud, devastating, and incredible to watch,
09:50it easily stands as one of the most adrenaline-pumping sequences to feature the character.
09:54And when even the mighty Darkseid acknowledges her abilities,
09:58you know she's a force to be reckoned with.
10:04And when she's a force to be reckoned with, she's a force to be reckoned with.

10:20Number 1 Supergirl vs. Rain Supergirl
10:32The Arrowverse gets a bad rap for its less-than-stellar production values,
10:36but none of that matters in a battle largely considered the best of the franchise.
10:40The fight against a world killer more than lived up to its billing.
10:43Everything from the cinematography, score, fight choreography,
10:46and storytelling lines up for this battle,
10:48evoking just the kind of response from viewers as the story intends.
10:59With her back against the wall, Supergirl's never-say-die attitude shines through,
11:04even while faltering against the incredible might of her enemy.
11:07Along with its wow factor, this fight encapsulates all there is to this heroine.
11:12Compassion, resilience, and standing up for what she believes in,
11:15no matter how impossible the odds are.
