How Power Girl could work in DC Rebirth

Easy. DC Rebirth is about re-establishing character history? Well then let Power Girl remember that the Superman of Earth-2 (either pre-Flashpoint or New 52 version is fine) was basically a father to her, not just a cousin, as well as that Lois Lane being basically a mother to her. That alone gives her some separation from Supergirl for new readers.

Have her meet up with the Kent family. Have it be a bit awkward between them, like maybe Rebirth Superman remembers meeting the Earth-2 version during Infinite Crisis (they've confirmed that did happen in Rebirth, right? I mean he does still remember Superboy Prime, as shown in an issue of Nightwing). Obviously he can't fill the same role as his counterpart and both he and PG know that, but he still wants to help her and she still misses having a family (this can help lead into the revival of the JSA, which DC has been hinting at).

Let her bond with Jon Kent way better than with Clark and Lois, because she's never met a version of him. Let her be like a big sister to him. Someone he can turn to for advice, like the kind he can't get from his parents or Damian.

Boom. Power Girl has been re-established back into the DC universe. She has connections with Superman and his family but they are shaky because of coming from two different worlds (not an uncommon thing in the Superman line of books) and let the writer go off from there.

But, and this is most important, DO NOT make Power Girl just an older Supergirl or a sidekick. Make her more like Nightwing. Someone who used to live under their mentor's wing but is now a hero of their own making. Someone who is proud of who their mentor/father figure was but not just a copy of them.

I dig it

This is actually rather interesting.

Also, spoiler alert. ^_^

From (Rebirth) Superman #14, it is hinted that the REAL Earth - 2 Superman is actually ALIVE ???? Even his costume looks very similar to the way it was shown in Earth 2 comics.

OMG! Why did they do that to Captain Carrot! NO!

He was the best "Superman" of them all. :D

R.I.P Captain Carrot, you will be missed.

P.S. Don't worry he is alive and well.

@lord_spectrum: Oh wait, I read the next issue, phew...I was scared there for a second. He's like my fav DC character.

Ohhh...that is understandable. ^_^

Cartoon Physics for the win. :D

@lord_spectrum: Exactly! Doesn't really explain how he comes back...but whatever, he's kicking butt again! He was so cute tho when he was a caped little rabbit however!

Edit: Oh wait, re-read it again, it is explained.

Beause it's cartoon physics, it ain't gotta explain sh**. XD

@lord_spectrum: True, though it was explained I think..but yay Carrot! It's amusing how one of the most powerful supermen in the multiverse is a cartoon rabbit. :P Not that I'm complaining, yaaay cartoon physics!

@lord_spectrum: is that from the superman reborn story line.

Just bring her from Earth-2 to the Prime Earth

Any dumb reason would work just fine, especially since Earth-2 is gone now

Or, even better, go Pre-Crisis and make an Earth-2 for the classic Justice Society as well as the other related Earth-2 characters. I always felt so bad that world was lost after Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Justice Society being on Earth-Prime just never clicked with me

Hehehehe. :)

True dat. ^_^

Who doesn't like rabbits, especially cartoon ones? Captain Carrot is what would happen if Bugs Bunny was a superhero IMO. :)

No, just before that.

@lord_spectrum: But...Bugs Bunny is also a superhero. He's Superrabbit and Batrabbit(in the newer show). I want another CC & Zoo Crew series also.

@wolfrazer:

Didn't know that one, since i didn't watch it, hehehehe. :D

Though i would like to see the Batrabbit, sounds interesting.

I kinda want another CC & Zoo Crew series also.

I can dig that honestly, but sadly it has low chance of getting profit, since DC loves money too much, thus only comics that can bring profit. :(

@lord_spectrum: True and as for Batrabbit.

@wolfrazer:

LMAO, that voice though. XD

Now that was one hella interesting stuff. :D

@lord_spectrum: Yeah and Daffy lol, was only for that one scene though.

Yeah.

But Bugs Bunny's voice as Batrabbit is cracking me up. XD

Reminds me of Nolanverse's version of Batman's voice. :D

I like your idea. I just wish DC didn't hate Power Girl like they do now.

@aros001 I'd be fine with it. I just want Power Girl back in the main continuity, preferably in a solo series.

And preferably forgetting everything that happened to her and Earth 2 in the nu52. Just go back to the pre-Flashpoint version of both. Or retcon PG to be from the main Krypton. But no nu52 stuff.

Agreed. Seems to be what they did in her Harley Quinn cameo, I'd be fine with a "never mind that" attitude to her recent "World's Finest" era.
