How was Supergirl able to beat up the guards?
As some of us (if not all) know, Kara Zor-El and Mon-El are from close planets (are they?) hence the super powers. In the Supergirl episode where Supergirl breaks into the mother-ship to save Mon-El and Lena, she was able to defeat the guards easily. To my understanding, she shouldn't have been able to, since they are also Daxamites, having super-strength. Rhea has it. Why is that? Is it because they were on the ship all the time, thus not being exposed to the sunlight, or is there another explanation?
Best Answer
Kara has super strength. So do the Daxamites, but as is shown when Mon-El is being tested by Winn at the DEO, the Daxamite level of strength is less than the Kryptonian equivalent. They are also missing a number of the powers Kara exhibits, including flight and freeze breath.
So Kara is stronger, and she has also trained with her sister Alex in a variety of fighting styles (in a room using small amounts of Kryptonite radiation to bring Kara down to a more human level of strength). These facts combine to make her suitably dangerous even to (presumably) well trained soldiers/guards with a level of super strength.

Is Supergirl younger or older than Superman?
She is the biological cousin of Superman, and although chronologically older than him, the ship in which she traveled to Earth was caught in a large green Kryptonite meteorite which held her in a state of suspended animation for much of the journey, making her have the appearance of a 16-year-old girl.Who is older Kal-El or Kara Zor-El?
Surviving Krypton Kara Zor-El is the daughter of Superman's uncle Zor-El and his wife Alura In-Ze. Kara is actually older than Kal-El; she was a teenager when he was a baby. When Krypton was attacked by Brainiac, he took Kandor with him, while Kara and her parents remained in Argo.How much older is Kara than Clark?
While she is 11 years younger than her cousin Clark in Earth's chronology, in Krypton years Kara is technically older than Kal-El, who is 41 in 2020 since he was born in 1979, the same year Krypton was destroyed. When Superman found Kara, he was 24 years old.Supergirl Ryona: Beaten Up by Galatea Pt. 2
