Of course, she's intentionally trying to aggravate Kara at the time, but her comments after imply there's some truth.

** Classically, a notable ''lack'' of one, she has what is termed a "boob window." Because of her [[ContinuitySnarl long and complicated history]] there have been numerous explanations as to why, exactly, she has this window. The current story behind it is kind of sad - she could not think of a symbol, so she left it blank and never filled it and is actually undergoing a minor identity crisis as she tries to figure out where she fits in the world. Though not all reasons have been as poignant, they are all intentional and rational. Previously, one of her explanations was that the window gave a clear indication of who and what she was: Strong, feminine and yes, big-breasted. If people were overly preoccupied or distracted by the last part that was their problem, not hers, she would not be bound by what they thought of her.

Gag Boobs has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Changing to the proper trope where appropriate and cutting misuse.


* GagBoobs:
** She's never been depicted as being even "average" in size - or even average in comparison to her superheroine compatriots, having universally been shown as having breasts noticeably larger than her peers. Jokes, comments, whole issues, have been literally built around her breasts InUniverse. Interestingly, the author of Fanfic/OriginStory called the offices of DC Comics to get PG's cup size, and they ''actually'' replied, saying that ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9801437/21/Origin-Story her official bust size is 40-H]].''
** A popular UrbanLegend states that all of this was the result of an in-joke by her original artist, Wally Wood, who [[FanServicePack drew her breasts bigger every issue]] just to see how far he could get away with it. However, [[http://ragnell.blogspot.com/2006/05/power-girl-you-be-judge.html examination of her original issues shows a consistent portrayal]], and no source has been presented to give authenticity to this legend, so it has been effectively debunked.

* AmazonianBeauty: She is oftentimes drawn with muscular arms and the physique of a bodybuilder, and is almost always drawn larger (height-wise) than other female characters except the likes of Franchise/WonderWoman. She is depicted at her beefiest in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' where she grew even StrongerWithAge. Regardless, she is still considered quite the beauty in-universe, but that is mostly due to [[BuxomIsBetter her softer features]]. This also applies to Supergirl, since (even though they're the same person, a few dimensions removed) Karen is 10-15 years older than Kara.

A brilliant computer and nanotechnology expert, Nicco once used his talents to used his computer hacking skills to steal millions of dollars through identity theft, but reformed and spent several years working for the FBI in exchange for a clean criminal record. Karen Starr, his employer at Starrware Labs, uses his criminal past to blackmail him into accessing secret military databases to discover a weakness in the villain Crash. Cho later confronted her and forced her into admitting that she is Power Girl.

Although Cho resented being used as a tool by Power Girl, he accepted her apology and begins working as her support staff.

* ContinuitySnarl: Power Girl's origin is unusual in that it lampshades the utter failure of past writers to come up with a legitimate way of maintaining her character's existence in the face of endless rewrites of the DC universe's history. There is no way the character can exist in the currently "valid" history- and her character development directly involves her attempts to deal with that fact. She is the cousin of Earth-2 Superman, but it is explicitly the pre-Crisis Earth 2. The new similar Earth-2 created following the 52 event has its own Power Girl cementing our Power Girl's status as an orphan of the old Multiverse. Then we have two Power Girls in the ''Comicbook/New52'' and ''Comicbook/DCRebirth'', one being from that multiverse's Earth-2 (which ended being PutOnABus) and the other coming from the pre-''New 52'' multiverse which is the same one that survived the ''Crisis in Infinite Earths'' and lived in the main Earth before teaming up with ''New 52'' Harley Quinn with her later adopting the colors of the ''New 52'' Power Girl.

She is the cousin of Earth-2 Superman, but it is explicitly the pre-Crisis Earth 2. The new similar Earth-2 created following the 52 event has its own Power Girl Girl, cementing our Power Girl's status as an orphan of the old Multiverse. Then we have two Power Girls in the ''Comicbook/New52'' and ''Comicbook/DCRebirth'', one being from that multiverse's Earth-2 (which ended being PutOnABus) and the other coming from the pre-''New 52'' multiverse which is the same one that survived the ''Crisis in Infinite Earths'' and lived in the main Earth before teaming up with ''New 52'' Harley Quinn with her later adopting the colors of the ''New 52'' Power Girl.



* FireForgedFriends: She is more or less friends with ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'', although the first time they met she was (understandably) pissed that [[ItMakesSenseInContext Harley decieved her when she had amnesia, once she got her memory back.]] Much later they have to team up again against an EldritchAbomination that's way out of Harley's league, and it's clear Power Girl does care about Harley, as she even saves her life a couple times.

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: During the "Kingdom Come" arc of ''Justice Society'', Karen meets the Power Girl of the new Earth-2... who is a vicious paranoiac that thinks Karen's an impostor who murdered her Superman, attacks her, chases her, ''tortures'' her and never apologizes once matters are cleared up.



* PowerIncontinence: After hitting a temporal anomaly just before ''Infinite Crisis'', Kara's kryptonian physiology starts reasserting itself without warning. Karen finds her heat vision suddenly bursting out in the middle of a fight, leaving her blind.



* PutOnTheBus: Both characters, Karen and Tanya, are trapped in an interdimensional void between worlds. In ''Deathstroke Annual'' #1 (March 2018), Tanya tried to rescue Karen, who was already seemingly trapped since post-ComicBook/DCRebirth, but her plan ended in disaster.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Power Girl gets this often. People see her and think: "Blonde, buxom and muscled equal dumb". Ultrahumanite calls her brainless and quips that her brain is her less used body part... even though she always, always, ''always'' outsmarts him. It irks Power Girl, but she admits that it's good being underestimated.
