How is Power Girl different from Supergirl?
I’m not talking about their physical assets or their characters’ origins. I’m talking about their personalities.
I don’t think I’ve read a Supergirl comic since the 1970s, when I remember her as a more timid, emotionally vulnerable version of Superman. I missed the whole Matrix storyline and everything that came after.
With the movie being out, I’m surprised to see some people writing about her being a kind of angry, kick ass character. Maybe it’s the comics, maybe it’s the movie. (I haven’t seen the movie.)
My question is, if that’s true, what makes her personality any different from Power Girl’s? I mean, PG has always been one of the most badass women in the DC universe. If Supergirl is now the same or similar, what makes them different aside from the physical and origin details I mentioned?
