Day 46: Action Comics #279 (August 1961):
"Supergirl's Secret Enemy!"
. . . Continued from Action Comics #278.
(Previously) Just as Superman was about to reveal Supergirl’s existence to the world, which would free her from operating clandestinely, Supergirl inexplicably loses her powers, leaving her Super-Hero career in question.
(Now) Unbeknownst to Supergirl, she was being monitored by an envious Kandorian scientist, (and physical double), Lesla-Lar, who had used one of her invented machines to nullify Supergirl's powers. Now powerless, while sleeping one night Linda is shrunk and teleported to Kandor by Lesla-Lar, who brainwashes the unconscious Linda into believing herself to be Lesla-Lar. Lesla-Lar exchanges clothes with Linda, grabs a teleport bracelet which allows her to swap places with Linda whenever she desires, and then she takes Linda's place on Earth.
*I am reading one Supergirl aka Kara Zor-El (Earth-One) story every day, starting with her introduction in May 1959 in Action Comics #252, until her final appearance in October 1985, in Crisis on Infinite Earths #7.
