Power Girl Appreciation 2023

[Robanker]

Jimmy punching so far above his weight that I have to admire him for it .

This... and I'm into it?

What is this world.

Lol, right! I used to think my wife was out of my league but this is other level.

Likely late, but congratulations.

funny thing is that Cheetah seemed to genuinely find him to be useful in fights, and not just fun to "hang out" with.

True! I always see teleportation as a nice counter to a speedster AND a compliment to boot. But then, she seemed to feel there were a number of assets held by Carr.

Was that Hawkman romance thing random or was there something in PreCrisis to which it paid homage?

Karen and Jimmy's blind date in DC's Harley Quinn Romances #1

Yawn, generic virgin nerd x generic loose stacy couple dynamic. I do not need a Peter Parker/ Tails kinda boyfriend status as a as its always going to focus and project the reader into the guy and make the girl the narrative plot device than the character. Karen I though would be more into fun guys, but shes so ambigously inconsistent i dont know her true beats.

Poor Jimmy. Apparently she ditched him just to protect her secret identity.

There's more to the segment than that, though I am impressed that Jimmy garnered a "next night" after their blind date.

PG a "loose Stacy"? That's kind of stretching it, I think.

The Karen/Jimmy segment was nice but very undercooked. I definitely could've spent a lot more time with them in their dates to develop their characters and dynamic than the barely-appetizer that we got.

From an upcoming JSA cover. Nice art but looks a little off without the cape.

I dont mind the sleeveless and long pants look, but it does need some red to break it up some without a cape (or jacket). Maybe if her belt were red as well.

Between capeless PG and Jesse’s McDonald’s look, it’s not a great time for new costume design for the JSA’s ladies lol.

I'm sure Edna Mode approves.

Kara and Karen!

Ick. WHY are they not both Kara?!? I thought only their last names differed and even that was in SPELLING. It is so jarring to me having called her Kara for like EVER

They're not both Kara because it would be annoying to have to explain which Kara you are referring to when they are in the same place. It's the same reason Cable and Nate Grey go by different names.

I think SG and PG could exist within the same 'verse as cousins with the same name, "the two Karas", but sometimes an adjustment or nickname is used to avoid mistakes; like having Francis and Frances together in a room and one gets called Frannie or Francois. Similar to Superman being called Clark or Kal, I feel that Karen is as much a proper name for Power Girl as Kara.
