Info about the 7th season:
" Making her debut in the series next season will be Kara Zor-El--better known as Supergirl--Gough told TVGuide.com. Kara is Clark's cousin and will not only possess many of the same powers as Clark, but a few more as well.
"She has all of Clark's powers and a couple he doesn't have yet," Gough told TVGuide.com. "She can fly. And her response when Clark asks why is 'obviously girls mature faster than boys.'"
In the story, Kara's ship landed on Earth around the same time as Clark's, but "there was a problem and she's been in suspended animation for the last 16 years." A teenager when she escaped Krypton, she was initially meant to look after Clark. She awakes, still a teenager, for season seven because of one of the season-six finale's explosive plot points--the big dam break.
With Clark now older than she is, Kara is able to spend more time being a teenage Earthling girl. "She becomes enamored with our culture--clothes and iPods and stuff," says Gough. "We'll have a lot of fun as she gets acclimated."
The role of Supergirl in Smallville has not yet been cast. "
