What is power girl?

Power Girl

Power Girl, also known as Kara Zor-L, is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is the Earth-Two counterpart of Supergirl and the first cousin of Superman.

  • Origin: She originates from the Krypton of the parallel universe Earth-Two. Like Superman, she was sent away from her dying planet as a child. Her rocket took longer to reach Earth-Two than Superman's did to reach Earth-One, so she arrived on Earth-Two as an adult despite being the same age as Superman when they left Krypton. Check out the concept of Origin for more information.
