Our FINAL first round matchup is a strange one. Here in the Aliens Bracket of the DC/Indy Conference, we get two characters who are variations on the same personality. Superman's cousin coming to earth through two different reality timelines. I don't know how it works, because my thinking is narrow and my brain weak. They are one, but they are two. You must choose one.

How He Came to Be: Superman's cousin, she is also sent off from her dying planet in a ship, but her ship takes much longer to arrive at earth than Superman's. She arrive at the "right" Earth, though. I think that's how it goes. Base of Operations: Brooklyn, NY Base of Operations: Argo City, Krypton; Midvale Orphanage, Midvale, DE; San Francisco, CA; Florida; New York, NY; Chicago, IL Teams/Affiliations: Justice Society of America, Superman Family; formerly Justice League Europe, Infinity, Inc., Sovereign Seven, Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad, Justice League Task Force Teams/Affiliations: Surprisingly few, for a character who has been around 65 years: Teen Titans, Legion of Super-Heroes, Justice League, Red Lantern Corps, Supermen of America Signature Lines: "Well, unfortunately for you, you're not dealing with Superman... You're dealing with me! " Signature Lines: "Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... or I'll break every bone in your body." Arch-Enemy: Gray Man Arch-Enemy: Lesla-Lar Sidekick(s): None. Sidekick(s): None Paramour(s): Andrew Vinson Paramour(s): Richard "Dick" Malverne, Jerro the merboy, Braniac 5, Geoffrey Anderson, Zarl Vorne/Power Boy Has Been Played By: Adrianne Palicki (sort of) Once Played By: Helen Slater, Laura Vandervoort, Melissa Benoist Could Have Been Played By: Honor Blackman Could Have Been Played By: Jan Smithers Song I Think Of: "Another Girl, Another Planet" Song I Think Of: "That's Really Super, Supergirl" Supernatural Powers: The woman is a Kryptonian. And that means what you think it means. The earth's yellow sun gives her the same package of powers Superman has, which I shoulnd't have to review, but includes (but is not limited to) Heat Vision, Super-Hearing, Enhanced Vision (x-ray, telescopic, microscopic, electromagnetic), Flight, Invulnerability, Superhuman Stamina, (needs, however, to eat, drink, and sleep), Superhuman Strength (can lift mountains), Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Agility, Superhuman Reflexes, and Super-Breath (can knock you over or freeze you up). Supernatural Powers: Pretty much the same deal. Non-Super Abilities: Trained in boxing under Wildcat and karate under Mongo Krebs. She's got a genius-level intellect and is trained in business and software programming. Non-Super Abilities: Has worked as an actress, televison reporter, and student counselor. Stuff: Mcguff. Stuff: Not really. Weaknesses: Like any Kryptonian, she's weakened by exposure to the element kryptonite. Her physiology confers on her no special vulnerability to magical or psyionic attacks, so come at her with the hocus-pocus. Her power depletes when she is seperated from the environment of Earth's yellow sun, which is her power source. So try and lure her to another solar system before taking her on. Weaknesses: Also kryptonite, magic, and psionic vulnerability. While she has appeared at times to be more powerful than Superman, Kal will calmly explain that he has spent a lifetime trying to repress his abilities, while his younger cousin is irrepressible. Dangerous

The thigh gap challenge. Any super hero(ine) based in Brooklyn gets my vote. Later

I don't really know Power Girl, so I voted for Supergirl.

Mets – Willets Point Mar 03 2015 08:17 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

One vote for my childhood crush on Helen Slater.

Ceetar Mar 03 2015 08:21 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

That says Power Girl knows programming, so we'd have lots to talk about. Think she wants to collaborate on an Android App?

Actually, my crush was born from repeated viewings of Ruthless People. The movie Supergirl creeped me out, although Slater was cute in that too.

Edgy MD Mar 03 2015 09:18 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

Yeah, I just mean that her profile necessarily dimmed thanks to SuperG, keeping her from becoming an overexposed national thing. Your heart couldn't have taken that. I'm a big Legend o' Billy Jean fan. Helen Slater, young Lisa Simpson, that intense crazy guy from Christine, Helen's non-brother/brother Christian Slater dressing in drag, over-stylized rebellious clothes and hairstyles, and a populist youth uprising fueled by lo-tech social media. LoBJ is one heck of an eighties artifact. FAIR IS FAIR!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 03 2015 09:59 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

What are we, a bunch of kids who have to sit back and take it? Well, now we're doin' it our way. FAIR IS FAIR! (Love LoBJ irrationally.) Simply put, Power Girl is like Supergirl liberated/self-empowered. (Also-- blatant Fman pander alert-- makes excellent cosplay.) You take Supergirl. Like '90s one-hit-wonders Snap, I got the Power.

Vic Sage Mar 04 2015 08:00 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

i'd buy that for a dollar!

Edgy MD Mar 04 2015 08:01 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

The cleavage window appears and the vote changes direction.

Edgy MD Mar 09 2015 08:26 PM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

Last poll closes in half an hour. OMG!

Edgy MD Mar 09 2015 09:48 PM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

And Supergirl is our victoress. Bracket finished!

Mets – Willets Point Mar 10 2015 08:07 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

That was just the first round. This is going to continue through the entire baseball season.

Edgy MD Mar 10 2015 08:22 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

Things will pick up. Me promise.

MFS62 Mar 10 2015 08:31 AM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

I'd be glad to console the loser. Later

Mets – Willets Point May 26 2015 03:38 PM Re: CPF WotS, Rd. 1: Power Girl vs. Supergirl

Helen Slater will be in the cast of the new Supergirl series playing the adoptive mother of Supergirl.
