Biography
Mia
Originally, she was an ordinary human from a future controlled by the Futuresmiths under the direction of Brainiac as part of a gambit to save himself following the defeat of Brainiac 13. To that end, he captured a young woman named Mia and implanted an nano-tech virus containing himself within the girl to be reborn in the future. The Futuresmiths then grafted a genetic graft of Superman taken by Amok which was merged with Mia thus transforming her biologically into the daughter of Kal-El. A personality was created known as Cir-El who was sent into the past where she unwittingly spread the nano-virus in an effort to alter the future per his designs. The ultimate goal of Brainiac 12 was to have a body created for himself and allow him to take control of the past. (Superman v2 #200)
The Futuresmiths came to empower an agent in the present called Amok and tasked him with acquiring a hair sample from Superman. With this accomplished, they awoke Cir-El in the present day where they told her that she was Supergirl. (Superman: The 10¢ Adventure v1 #1) She wanted to meet her father Superman but the Futuresmiths prevented her from doing so and told her that she could only do so at the appointed time.

After learning her origins, she decided to plunge herself into the time portal in an effort to erase herself to stop the disaster. (Superman v2 #200)
