Just as Kara's CW incarnation deals with Lex Luthor's half-sister Lena as a "frenemy"...
...the Silver-Age Kara had Lex Luthor's sister Lena Thorul (who didn't know she was related to Lex) as a close friend, and his niece, Nasthalthia, as an enemy!
After this introduction in the never-reprinted DC's Adventure Comics #397 (1970), "Nasty" became an ongoing character in the strip for several years, following Linda/Kara/Supergirl from Stanhope College to her first job in San Francisco as a TV cameraperson!
Writer/artist/editor Mike Sekowsky explained in the letters page of DC's Adventure Comics #401that Nastalthia is the daughter of Lex's never-previously (or since) mentioned older sister who eloped to Europe as a teenager!
Her fate is unknown.

A Battle Royale as one of Supergirl's few recurring enemies returns...and brings some lethal friends with her!
