But at the heart of it all, both Supergirl and Power Girl are "Kara Zor-El" (though Power Girl originally had the Golden Age spelling of "Kara Zor-L"), and the Supergirl version is more remembered / trademarkable.
Besides, may be problems trying to sell little girl Power Girl Halloween costumes with a boob window.

Actually a few years back I saw a couple of little tiny girls dressed as PG---an entirely "G" version, with no window. They were adorable!

For Kent Nelson getting so much love, the character is quite disrespected by DC

Unfortunately, "all that love" is only from a small group of old geezers here.

Wow! That's an extremely difficult decision. I finally picked Power Girl -- since she's someone who was introduced when I was young. I considered Flash, but he never really got me excited -- even though I did love when he guest-starred in the Flash. I guess I feel exactly the same about Green Lantern. To me, Jay and Alan were the JSA's equivalent of Batman and Superman.

I love Dr. Fate --- especially Kent Nelson, but he's often absent from the team. Same with the Spectre. Wildcat and Mr. Terrific are good characters, but not favorites. I equate them with Dr. Mid-Nite and Hourman. I'd place Hawkman above all of those, and Starman above Hawkman. Actually, why wasn't Starman and option?

You didn't, perchance, read the very first post THAT EXPLAINED EVERYTHING?

From the last thread/poll:

We began with four threads/polls:

Justice Society Poll I: Who are your favorite Golden Age regular members?
Justice Society Poll II: Who are your favorite members (1961-1999)?
Justice Society Poll III: favorite members - JSA (1999-2006) additions
Justice Society Poll IV: favorite members, 2007-2008 additions (see poll)

And narrowed the results down into two threads/polls:

Justice Society of America favorite members: from Golden Age through 1998
JSA/Justice Society of America Poll: favorite members (from 1999-2008)

From there we had Justice Society of America / JSA favorite members: from 1940 through 2008 and have now taken the top six vote-getters, all of whom received at least 30 votes each:

* Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
* The Flash (Jay Garrick)
* Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
* Power Girl (Karen Starr / Kara Zor-L)
* Wildcat (Ted Grant)
* Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt)

But for this poll, you'll have to choose just one "favorite" from those six.

Oh, and by the way, also from the previous thread:

. . . And before people complain about "Why isn't fill-in-the-blank on this poll?!?", go back and read all the previous threads/polls (listed at the top) to see what may have happened before.

And never to return, imagine the uproar if they replaced Khalid with Kent! ... and replace country with comic.

Jay. I always felt he was the leader of the JSA even when someone else held it officially.

Thanks for the explanation.

Okay, then. Just give me a Dr. Fate period piece set at any time before DC (and Keith Giffen) started wrecking the characters of Kent and Inza.
