"Why does she need a boyfriend? "
She doesn't actually. What she does need is to have her social life, fleshed out somewhat. A few civilian friends, that are unaware of her dual identity, knowing her only as Karen Starr. However, it wouldn't be too far fetched, that one of them would eventually try and fix her up, with someone.
I'm also of the notion that Power Girl doesn't really need a boyfriend, or any particular kind of romantic relationship at all. Her inaccessibility is part of what makes her character interesting.
I never cared for her short affair with Hawkman.
I vote for Hal Jordan. He been de-aged to his mid twenties since coming back to life in Green Lantern: Rebirth. So he is age appropriate. Karen and Hal already have a past (sex in a force field waiting to get blasted by Sonar... yeah I know... read JLE #050 if you don't believe me). Plus Hal's a big gun so ego wont get into the way.
She doesn't need a boyfriend but having her in a romantic relationship does present some potentially interesting stories for the character.
Personally I'd rather see her enter into a relationship under her civilian persona as Karen Starr who has to try and conceal the fact she's also Power Girl from her significant other who would either be a regular everyday guy who isn't associated or involved in superhero activity. Or have her date an all new character who's also trying to hide the fact he's living a double life as a superhero as well trying to keep it a secret from her.
One thing I wouldn't do is have her enter a relationship with an established character.
Kyle Rayner. Now before you jump down my throat, let me list why he's a good choice:
1.) He's needs a girlfriend or a woman that can't easily be put down. Someone that can go toe to toe with Big Blue is great. Really everything Kyle has done for the Universe he deserves a good gal, a powerful good gal he doesn't have to worry about getting put down. Power Girl needs a man that can actually be with a powerful woman and not need to "handle it", and Kyle's history is chock full of them, from his mother to Jade to that new squeeze he's got, they're all powerhouses in their own way.
2.) Now this is just my interpretation of her, so I could be dead wrong, but I can't help but feel she's distant from everyone, even the Hawkman thing was awkward. He's literally gone most of the time anyway, it gives her and him space needed not to interfere with each other too much. The dynamic it lends to each other's story is that it gives Power Girl an actual reason to stay on Earth, again in my opinion, there's nothing keeping her here but the next disaster. It also gives Kyle a reason to comeback, I hate to say it, but he's up there with Spiderman and the Universe messing with his life badly.
3.) They're not in eachother's supergroup, Kyle is JLA/Green Lantern Corp and Power Girl is JSA/Superman dynasty. The baggage one of group doesn't carry over into the relationship, they're each other's safe haven. The dynamic it lends is that when they're together you get to see Karen Starr and Kyle Rayner not Power Girl and "The Torchbearer" Green Lantern. Karen can unload on Kyle without worrying about it going back to Supes or JSA and vice versa. A real rock in the psychotic world they live in.
4.) They both had these huge shadows to come out of, Power Girl has Superman and Supergirl, because lets face it whether it's us the reader or the people of the DCU, Power Girl and Supergirl really measured against each other. Kyle has the whole Hal Jordan and leading the GL corp through its darkest hour(I still contend that when he was the Last Lantern, it was still darker than it is now, all alone with a disaster possible with only a single ringslinger to deal with it). They're kind of left floating now, the GL corp is back and Hal Jordan is a huge focus now, and Power Girl is kind of forgotten. They're both on the wayside, PG more so than Kyle just because Kyle's in the middle of a war.
Superboy.
What? He's not an exact clone of Superman!? He's half Lex Luthor so if anything they're 3rd generation cousins...

Really, it needs to be some Daxamite, or leftover Kryptonian from WONK in order to...survive her attentions. That part's already been established, (thank you Matt Sturges).
I don't know any guy who would not go out with her... if you get what I'm saying.....
I don't know. Maybe it could be someone who doesn't have superpowers. It might make a good couple but reverse, kinda like Lois and Clark.
