Supergirl Movie Special is the official comic adaptation of the 1984 movie. Published in October 1984 (with a cover date of February, 1985), it was written by Joey Cavalieri and penciled, inked and colored by Gray Morrow. Jose Luis Garcia Lopez provided the cover art.Kara Zor-El, Superman's kid cousin, is one of the denizens of Argo, a Kryptonian city which survived its planet's holocaust and now drifts aimlessly around the space. One day, Kara's friend and mentor Zaltar "borrows" the Omegahedron, a matter-transmuting artifact which keeps Argo's life support systems running, so he can create and see a real organic tree with his own eyes before leaving for Earth. However, Alura walks into his den as he is showing Kara the Omegahedron, and Zaltar is forced to lend his matterwand to Kara to keep both women distracted as he hides the stolen device hurriedly.Unfortunately, Kara playing with the wand accidentally opens a breach into the forcefield surrounding Argo City, and the Omegahedron is sucked into the space. Blaming herself for the loss, Kara "borrows" Zaltar's space pod and sets out on a quest in search of the device before her city run out or power.Her quest leads her to the planet which her cousin calls home, where an ambitious and powerful witch called Selena has found the Omegahedron. | |

Aliens Speaking English: Justified. Despite being an alien Kara can speak, read and write in English because her parents had monitored Superman's activities in Earth and learned the language. | |

When Kara's mother walked into his chambers, he gave Kara one of his gadgets to keep both her and Alura distracted as he hid the Omegahedron. Unfortunately, Kara playing with his reality-warping device accidentally caused the Omegahedron to be sucked into the vacuum of space. | |

Reality Warping Is Not a Toy | |
| Supergirl (1984) (Comic Book) / int_7af365d7 | comment |
Reality Warping Is Not a Toy: Zaltar steals the Omegahedron, a reality-warping device which keeps Argo City's support life systems, because he wants to see real, organic trees. When he is almost caught with it, his frantic attempt to hide it away causes its loss and jeopardizes the entire space city. And how does the Omegahedron become lost, exactly? Zaltar gives a little kid his own reality-warping gadget, so she plays with it. Kara materializes an insect, gets scared when it flies too close, and drops the Omegahedron. The insect crashes into Argo City's protective membrane, and the Omegahedron is sucked out of the barrier. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Selena's first scene involves one conversation where she reveals within two panels that she is a short-tempered, impatient witch with world-conquering ambitions, she yearns for more power, and she dislikes coming across as sweet or kind. | |

Tome of Eldritch Lore: Right before Supergirl crashes into her lair, Selena can be seen perusing a large, heavy, leatherbound copy of the Necronomicon and reading up on summoning elemental demons. One black, horned skull-and-crossbones symbol is drawn on the book's red front cover. | |

He also helps Selena kidnap Ethan, but he takes no direct action against Supergirl, so Nigel simply walks away after the climax. He even gets his youth restored when Selena's aging spell is undone. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Selena, who had previously abandoned her mentor Nigel when she found the Omegahedron, asks him help to deal with Linda's interference. As soon as Nigel gives her what she wants, Selena transforms him into an old man out of sheer spite and ditches him once again. Later she decides he may still be useful after all, so she holds him hostage to force Supergirl to back off. By this point, though, Nigel is so thoroughly sick of her antics that he turns on Selena and helps Supergirl beat her. | |

Disaster Dominoes: The events which lead to the battle between Supergirl and Selena are as follows: Zaltar steals a matter-replicating device so that he can see lifelike vegetation. When he is nearly caught by Alura, he gives Kara his matterwand to keep her mother distracted as he subtly kicks the Omegahedron away. The ball-shaped device rolls near Kara when she is playing with the wand. Kara creates an insect, gets scared, and shoves it away. The insect then crashes into the city's barrier, and the Omegahedron is sucked through the crack. Kara blames herself, gets into Zaltar's space pod and pursues it until Earth, where it is found by Selena. | |
