AH....but this could be a trick question - it's also correct to say they're NOT related - because it depends WHICH Supergirl you are talking about!
The Supergirl of the 'Golden Age' of DC Comics WAS his cousin, Kara... from Argo City, which was somehow hurled into space (people and buildings intact) when Krypton exploded; and her parents sent her to earth in a similar way to Superman when they discovered they were all dying of Kryptonite poisoning in Argo City.
However this 'Golden Age' was already having an identity crisis. Many years of stories by various DC contributors had changed the story of Superman's origin somewhat, as well as enhancing or reducing his powers, until there were several 'parallel universes', with several conflicting versions of the same characters. (There was a series where 'Superman Blue' met his own image 'Superman Red'...)
In 1985, DC Comics ran a 12-issue crossover series called "Crisis on Infinite Earths" which was designed to reduce the increasingly complicated DC superhero multiverse, which featured multiple versions of the same characters on Earth-1, Earth-2, etc, into a single, streamlined universe with one, revised timeline. Superman's story in particular was to be simplified. The multiple Earths were merged and many characters died and memories of them erased in the minds of the survivors. History was retroactively rewritten, and while some characters who died were remembered by those who survived the Crisis, all memories of Supergirl's existence were erased. (She died heroically in Crisis issue #7.4)
The Modern Age begun by Crisis was a complete reboot. In this new version of Superman, a DC company mandate stipulated that Superman be the sole survivor of Krypton with no relatives or superpets. There was no Supergirl from Krypton in this universe, and no one remembered Argo City. Yet the souls of those who had existed pre-Crisis were not destroyed. Supergirl's spirit lived on, perhaps to be reborn in another form....
DC Comics officially relaunched their comicbook line and began revamping and reintroducing old characters into the "new" continuity.
A new Supergirl appeared just three years after Kara died, and in keeping with the revised Superman mythos, she was NOT biologically related to him.
So, who wants to be on MY table?
Cheers,
Craig
