Fictional character biography

Supergirl clone

The first Satan Girl is a villain who infects the female members of the Legion of Super-Heroes with a disease that makes them weak and gives them red skin. Despite Satan Girl possessing Kryptonian powers, Supergirl believes her to be an android, as she is not weak to kryptonite like a Kryptonian or lead like a Daxamite. Satan Girl is subdued by the Legion of Super-Pets and reveals to Supergirl that she is a clone created after Supergirl unknowingly exposed herself to red kryptonite. Satan Girl had infected the Legionnaires in an attempt to siphon kryptonite radiation from them and sustain herself beyond the 48-hour time limit of the kryptonite's effects. The kryptonite's effects wear off, with Satan Girl merging with Supergirl. Supergirl learns that Satan Girl had been immune to kryptonite due to wearing a lead suit. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

A storyline in Supergirl (vol. 5) is inspired by the original Satan Girl story, with black kryptonite producing a duplicate "Dark Supergirl". ^[6] In the eighth volume of Supergirl (2025), Lesla-Lar exposes Supergirl to black kryptonite, creating evil clones of her and Krypto. ^{[7] [3] [8]}

Dolores Pratchet

The second Satan Girl is Dolores Pratchet, an 18th-century witch whose daughter Rachel was assumed dead after saving her friend Ember from being executed at the stake. Rather than dying, the two girls are fused into a singular entity known as the Angel of Fire. Dolores makes a deal with the demonic Carnivore and agrees to become his servant, gaining magical powers. Satan Girl's magic pulls the current Angel of Fire, Supergirl, from the present and switches her with Ember, making it so that she would die on the stake instead and Rachel and Ember would exist in the present. Supergirl escapes with help from Ember, who returns to her own time to die on the stake. Satan Girl is erased from existence due to the timeline being altered. ^{[9] [10] [2]}

S'tanicule Gyrstress

The third Satan Girl is S'tanicule Gyrstess, the Brocian goddess of love and death from another dimension. She is transported to the main universe when Brainiac 5 accidentally blasts a statue dedicated to her with chronon energy. Supergirl and Brainiac 5 ultimately defeat S'tanicule and return her to her dimension. ^{[11] [2]}
