The Girl of Steel
Supergirl: Age of Atlantis is book 1 in the Supergirl series by Jo Whittemore. Kara Danvers, Supergirl’s secret identity, bumps into ordinary National City residents having amazing powers. One woman can levitate objects with her mind, another can control cats, and a man has the power to command bees to do his bidding.
The main characters are the same ones found on the CW TV series, “Supergirl”—Mon-El, Jimmy Olson, Alex Danvers, the tech genius, Winn, and J’onn J’onzz, the DEO’s director and Martian refugee. With the same setting and characters, the familiarity of the book makes it even more of an enjoyable read.
In this Supergirl adventure, Age of Atlantis, the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO) has captured a strange humanoid sea creature. Meanwhile, superpowered citizens are running amok over National City. With the help of the DEO, Supergirl must uncover the connection between the merman and how so many ordinary citizens are suddenly super powered.
Author Jo Whittemore uses the “Supergirl” characters from episodes 18-21 of season two masterfully as they pool their resources to solve the mystery behind the spread of super abilities. While doing so, Whittemore continues the difficult relationship between Kara and her boss at Catco, Snapper Carr, Supergirl’s love interest, Mon-El, and Jimmy Olson’s obsession as the heroic Guardian.
Supergirl: Age of Atlantis is the first of a three book series including Supergirl: Curse of the Ancients, and Supergirl: Master of Illusion. All three books contain original stories not seen on the hit CW TV series, Supergirl, making these books a fun read for anyone from 11-91.

I remember Superwomen from the radio when I was a kid. So I guess there is a Supergirl also. How interesting,
