Supergirl

DC’sPower Girlhas had plenty of costumes over her chronicle as a crimefighter , but one of her substantially - suited for   contend evil supervillains was also one of her most detest by her many fans . Costume changes happen ofttimes in comedian , but fan get rather attached to live designs - or rather , designs made rather notorious by Power Girl ’s first major creative person Wally Wood . Out of Kara Zor - L ’s many costumes , her look from DC ’s infamousNew 52is by far the most controversial .

In 2011 , DC Comicsended theirFlashpointcrossover storywith a universe - change relaunch of the entire line of books . Dubbed the New 52 , this fresh initiative vamp every major superhero . Long chronicle of characters were retconned out of being , while others merely received raw costume and looks ( Superman lose the violent trunk and gained a collar on his suit , for case ) .

Power Girl ’s new costume was certainly a major departure from the white leotard with blue accent ( rap , glove , boot , etc ) . While the majority of the suit is still blank , a stylized yellow " atomic number 15 " logotype commands attention on the left side of the costume ; it notably does not partake in thesame intent as Superman ’s renowned S - shield . The logo was surrounded by a declamatory red border , which   circulate to Power Girl ’s shoulders and extended downwards as a ness . The gloomy glove were integrate into the body of the suit of clothes . This was also one of Power Girl ’s first major outfits in years that close off the infamous " chest of drawers window " , track her completely .

This getup was far and away one of the good superhero costume Power Girl has ever worn , from a practical standpoint . Crimefighting in leotards and exposed hide is n’t necessarily tactically advantageous , even for a Kryptonian , and . However , fan react negatively towards Kara ’s new costume and strongly desired the homecoming of the former suit . Perhaps they thought the P was a bittoostylized , and the off - centered logo did n’t help matters at all .

It ’s worth observe that an actual grounds for Power Girl wearing her Graeco-Roman uniform has yet to be saint . Writer Geoff Johns compose a monologue for Kara during his run in which Power Girl admitted she hope a symbol - like Superman ’s - but shecouldn’t think of anything that would"exit the kettle of fish " . Regardless of any account , Power Girl’sclassic costume is back after the New 52 ’s end , and it wo n’t change anytime shortly .
