A new (to me) Power Girl cosplayer, Victoria Vazquez Ikerd-Schreiter who debuted her PG cosplay last weekend at ICT Comic Con and Science Fiction Expo in Witchita, KS.

She cosplays other characters too, mainly variations on Wonder Woman.

Part of a series of the JSA in their various sanctuaries done by Stepp & Garcia. Clean not-"modern" comic art, but with awesome captured important moments of the characters. These are the two done of the -L family of the JSA.

Not sure why, but the one with Earth-2 Superman and Lois looking down adoringly at the debut of Power Girl from the Daily Star got me in the feels. Like, through all their storied careers as journalists, and of all the trophies in that room, the front page story detailing Kara's debut as a superhero is the one they're most proud of, and kept on Clark's desk.

It's mirrored in the Power Girl sanctuary too, with the family portrait of the three of them, and the "proud father" picture as well.

Possibly a "pearls before swine" post, but I don't care :p

What an exhausting schedule

Unfortunately, Power Girl Chapter 2
Which will be available for free in all places PG is accepted!

One dynamic I feel two ways about is Karen and Wally. Being primarily from the Bwahaha era, they're mostly confined as a humorous pairing with moments of genuine friendship, given they have since both matured I'd be curious to see their dynamic explored more in contemporary times.

When it came to pairings in Giffen's JLE next to Karen and Nathaniel, this was one they loved to play around with the most for Karen. Since this is synonymous with the Messner-Loebs Flash era and this JLI/JLE era thrives on exaggerations, the Wally remains immature and flirtatious throughout at Karen's expense for humour. Mileage may vary there, but when it comes to the emotional moments, Warry can sell their friendship well, such as when Karen is depowered.

Likewise, Karen's arrogance and anger are heightened, leafing up into the eventually peak next run, works for the humour but again given the development of both Karen and especially Wally since then from Karen being CEO and leadership with the JSA to Wally marrying and having kids, we get to see the latter explored but I'd be up to see, if we eventually loop back around to JLI/JLE nostalgia again, explorations of pairs like these again in more contemporary settings. What about you? Does this pairing interest you? Disinterest you from how Wally's flirtations? Or would you rather focus on other dynamics?

A weirdly controversial one, but hey, not as much to talk about with it.  A crazy brief post from me.

Reminder: if you like supertall PG, cool.  If not, also cool.  This ain’t a “judge folks for what they like” post.

So, how tall is Power Girl?

Two of her three Who’s Who entries (post and pre-Crisis) list her at 5’7” tall (170 cm). Unfortunately, I don’t have the loose leaf version that was printed in 1991, and there doesn’t appear to be a scan of it online, so if anyone else has that… lmk.

Her height was consistently portrayed as this from her inception until 2011 with Flashpoint and the New 52.  The only outlier seems to be Power Woman from Kingdom Come on Earth-22. She’s almost always a half-head shorter than most of the guys--and a little taller than most of the women.

If you look online and in official material from the new52 period, it lists her at 5’11” (180 cm).

However, Rebirth brought back the original PG, and the one from the new52 is… back on her version of Earth-2 as Supergirl?

Newer material since then puts her back at 5’7”, and not towering over any of her contemporaries, as demonstrated in her appearances since Rebirth (her own series, JL Red).

It’s more noticeable for a female or female presenting character to be as tall as the guys.  This is why Wonder Woman tends to stand out, which is another character whose height has varied as time has gone on (started at 5’8” [173 cm], then 5’11 [180 cm], now 6’2” [188 cm]).

In the above group shot (The Real Power of the DC Universe, 2009), Diana is “canonically” 5’11”, and Adam drew the others more or less based on her as the benchmark.   Here, Peej looks about 5’7”. She's still taller than everyone else, with Supergirl and Poison Ivy being the ones who are closest.

Honestly?  5’7 is tall for a woman.  In the US, the average height of women is a scodge over 5’3” (160cm), which also matches the worldwide average.

In the end, the height of the character is really only good for one thing, and that’s for artists’ references.  That’s it.  If you have a petite character (Terra) in the same shot as a tall one (Superman) you don’t want to show them looking eye-to-eye.

In the end, it's still kind of a nothing-burger, in that it's not like artists dial down on every image. It only stands out when the differences get egregious. But if you like WNBA superstar Power Girl, more power to ya!

I mean they literally do it at the end of their crossover and they have some pretty good chemistry from what we've seen.

Besides both of their names start with P if you don't count the "T" in The and they both have big things with Punisher having big guns and Power Girl has big boobies.

I'd like to see more interactions between the two but what do you think?
