Why doesn't Supergirl enlist Superman's help when all humanity is threatened in the season 1 finale?
In Supergirl Season 1 finale, Non and Indigo have triggered a device that is going to kill all of humanity in the next 4 hours. Martian, the only other superhero around, is hurt. No normal human is able to get close to the device to assist Supergirl and Supergirl has to go on a suicide mission to try to fight Kryptonians. If she loses or if they just stall her long enough, all humans of earth die.
What is the compelling reason for her to not call Superman? The situation is dire enough.
Best Answer
When Non first set off his Myriad device, Superman did fly in to help. He was caught in the device's grip and turned into a slave like everyone else. It was hypothesized that being raised by humans from the time he was very young had affected his brain enough to make him susceptible to Myriad; Kara, being raised by Krpytonians until she was a bit older, was immune.
After they freed everyone from Myriad's control the first time, for some reason, Superman does not wake up. You can see him being tended to by the doctors at the DEO (well, his boots at least) in the middle of the episode:
GENERAL LANE: So, how is it that Superman is still down for the count?
LUCY LANE: We don't know; we're hoping he regains consciousness soon.

What happened in the Supergirl finale?
They are clearly allowed to mention him, since they do so at least once in the pilot, and several more times during the course of the series. They also make sure to work in every one of his usual comic book nicknames (which people in-universe use to refer to Kal-El pretty frequently).Can they not say Superman in Supergirl?
And then there's Lena, who became a witch and learned more about her birth mother before finally putting the Luthors behind her. One of the things Kara had brought up throughout the show is how she wanted love and family, including romantic love. But, she ends the show single (and not in an empowering way either).Who did Kara end up with in Supergirl?
Picking up where we left off last week, the first part of series finale, "The Last Gauntlet," opens with Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor delivering his obvious ransom terms: The Super Friends must find the Destiny totem and deliver it along with the other six to Lex and Nyxly (Peta Sergeant), or Esme (Mila Jones) dies.To X Who Doesn't Love Me (2022) Official Trailer | NCT Doyoung, Han Ji Hyo, Kwon Areum | Kdrama
