The #Arrowverse "Invasion!" crossover has come to a close, leaving us all eager for more team-ups in the near future. #Supergirl was one of the strongest parts of the four-episode event, as her bubbly persona perfectly complemented Oliver's melancholia and Barry's guilt over Flashpoint.

And of course, Kara's strength and super-abilities were a huge boon to the team, so if there's a potentially world-ending problem in the future, the Arrowverse Super Friends know who to call.
