My fellow female/non-male PG fans—why do you like her so much?
For me, PG has always represented a multitude of things. It was her very name that drew me in at the start—Power Girl! Just a name like that had this draw to it.
As I began to read her multitude of appearances, from her 2009 run to JSA to that World’s Finest run, I found myself drawn to her headstrong attitude. In contrast to other female heroines around her, Karen really doesn’t take things from anybody. Her attitude towards life, others, and herself was a really refreshing take.
While I do love Diana, shes always empathetic and kind. It’s something to strive for, but hard to be. Karen on the other hand, while not mean, definitely isn’t afraid to make her opinion known without sugar coating it. She’s very unapologetic about who she is! When people flirt with her she isn’t oblivious and she doesn’t play nice if she’s not interested. And she can punch them really hard, which is also cool. She’s not framed as unreasonable or immature for this, or really put down for it either. I think even her costuming reflects that, “it’s a you problem, not a me problem” and “I do what I want” mentality.
Atlee worked as a really good Robin stand-in for younger me, where I imagined myself being in her place next to PG, which helped build my affinity.
Also, boobs! I’d be lying if I said those two big design aspects weren’t a draw LMAO. Anyways, I’m just curious on what others think.
