@suemorphplus209:
She can come back, only not has Supergirl. That would make no sense.
I'm guessing you know her origin story in the modern age. How she started out by being a being made of protoplasma, that had some of Lana Lang dna, and how she eventually fused together with Linda Danvers and heaven and hell broke loose.
I never did liked how she was removed, but what's done is done. Now she could still be Linda Danvers but DC would have to give her a new origin and new alter ego. If I were to write Linda Danvers for the DCYou I would take advantage of some of her origin material.
This is how I'd do it.
I'd create a kind of religious sect that saw Superman as the world true savior. And in that sect would be Linda. I'd explain that she had have problems with her family, left home without a word, but she was caught in a natural disaster where she came to evaluate her life and prepared to die. But Superman shows up and saves her.
After that she started following up on everything Superman did and stood up for. She returns home, makes peace with her parents and starts to get her life back together. That's until she hears word of a kind of religious movement that focus on Superman and the examples he gives to mankind. So she initially joins up so she can have others to whom she can share her ideas and views about Superman.
Eventually she would start to hear rumors about people that were higher up on that church hierarchy started to gone missing. Although the leader of the church said that they had gone to other corners of the country and even the world to spread their beliefs. Which being the daughter of a police detective she doesn't totally buys into it, but she also has no proof to say otherwise.
Eventually superpowered men and women would start showing up, causing caos and destruction but they would all die while doing their little destruction or whatever. She recognizes one has being a member of said church and starts to dig around.
Eventually she'd find out that the leader of the church had once been a scientist working for Lexcorp that supposedly died on a lab accident. She would eventually come to find that he has a secret lab where he was conducting illegal experiments on his most devoted followers. That this leader became obsessed with Superman while working for Luthor and it was there that he got hold of a new form of kryptonite he was developing for Luthor, one that was mostly red but also green. Luthor has hiered him with the idea of using Superman homeworld native element that kryptonians used to power their technology and somehow create an isotope stable enough to be used by humans and human tech. But later on he finds out that Luthor only wanted to use his work to kill Superman, so he caused the lab accident, faked his death and took his work with him. A single piece of red/green kryptonite.
And he was trying to give humans the same powers has a kryptonian. By using the radiation of his synthetic kryptonite mixed with some kind of chemical compound. After brainwashing his most devoted followers he would inject them with the chemical promissing them they would become closer to Superman and help him create a new golden krypton on Earth. But all his experiments failed, it did gave them powers, but they'd start to lose their minds and in time their bodies would simply die from genetic breakdown.
Linda then tries to warn her father about what's happening, but her father suggests caution and that she gives him enough time to act. She of course doesn't wait. She thinks that Superman would not allow such evil to remain unchecked and she goes out to confront this psychotic man. She finds him at his lab and then she confronts him, not knowing he wss expecting her because he had hidden cameras on his lab and as such he knew that she would eventually come back. A fight breaks out and during the fight his kryptonite reactor becomes active and starts to overload, during the fight she manages to defeat the mad man while suffering some light injuries. And while he's unconscious she then releases all the trapped people, and instead of running away with them she then tries to disable the machine powered by the hybrid kryptonite. And the she's hit full force with the radiation from the machine.
At the same time people called the police, her father finds her badly burned by the radiation and she's rushed to the hospital, where later on the doctors tell her parents that whatever she was exposed to was killing off her cells and that she would die in two days top. When her parents go to talk to her while she's conscious she tella them she knows that she's dying but that she's fine with, it because she did what Superman would've done.
Moments later she looks and sees Superman on the entry of her room. At first her parents demand that he leaves, because it was all his fault. Linda asks them to stop and asks why Superman was there. To which Superman says that he heard what happened and that he recognized her when he saved her a year back, and that he was sorry for not being able to help her. That kryptonite poisoning to that degree was something even he couldn't fix. And Superman asks for her forgiveness, to which Linda only asks that Superman touches her hand one last time. And so he does. But at that when they touch a golden light emits from both Superman and Linda body. The events shocks Superman but puts Linda in a coma.
Days pass and instead of the inevitable death, Linda does a complete recovery. All her body heals and people start calling it a miracle, and to Linda it is clear that it was Superman that saved. Sometime after she leaves the hospital she tries to resume her normal life but finds herself that she can do superhuman things. At first they're just random, but then she discovers that she possesses strength, speed and resistence, beyond human levels. At first she believes that somehow Superman passed some of his powers to her, but then she starts to manifest completely different powers from that of Superman. Not that she knows that at first.
She sets out to find Superman, and so she uses the simpliest way. She goes where no one is around and shouts for Superman. Only to find Superman right above her floating and he could say something like "There's no need to shout Miss Danvers" and she could say something like "It worked! Didn't think it would." to which he says "Well... normally it wouldn't, but I got my eye on you ever since the event in the hospital" and she says "Yes. Thank you! You saved me. Didn't knew you could heal people." "I can't. Not like that anyway. And while I'd like to say I did it on purpose, truth is, I had no control over what happened. Somehow the kryptonite radiation that was filling your body, when I touched you, it tried to pass on to me but my body fought back. The golden light you saw, was my own body energy pushing back at the radiation on your body. And somehow by what my enhanced senses show me, your human cells, have adquired some kryptonian traits. And although there's some similarities, truth be told it's mostly different." "Then what am I? A kryptonian? Human?" "Human for the most part. But there's some kryptonian in you, only it changed to something that although similar it's not the same"
He then take her to his fortress and helps Linda figure out how exactly has she changed. She finds out she can read and control minds (telepathy), that she can move objects with her mind, manipulate matter and even change some aspects of her own body, like hair, eyes and skin color, she can also make herself slighly taller and with more body mass (a highly develop form of telekinesis), that she can create and control fire, water, ice and energy (pyro/hydro/cryo/electrokinesis), and even predict certain events with a very limited future range, just a few minutes into the future (a form of clairvoyance). But she has none of the other kryptonian powers, like hightened senses and heat vision. Only a near but still lower level of a kryptonian physical prowess, like strength, speed and invulnerability.
This would be how I'd make a Linda Danvers comeback, to the Super-family and also we'd see Supes giving her, her own bio-armor, that she can configurate to look has she wants to, if she ever decides to put her powers to work for the greater cause.
Has for a name. Superwoman I believe it should be left reserved to Kara aka Supergirl. So I'd call her Flamebird. A name Superman could suggest after Krypton's mythological goddess of destruction.
