Day 6 - Forgotten #JusticeLeague
Power Girl
Forgotten Justice League members:
The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 6 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about.
Power Girl also known as Kara and Karen Starr made her first appearance in All Star Comics #58, January 1976. Power Girl is the cousin of Superman, but from Earth-2, first envisioned as the home of DC's wartime heroes as published in 1940s comic books. Power Girl becomes stranded on the main universe where DC stories are set, and becomes acquainted with that world's Superman and her own counterpart, Supergirl. In common with Supergirl's origin story, she is the daughter of Superman's aunt and uncle and a native of the planet Krypton. The infant Power Girl's parents enabled her to escape the destruction of her home planet by placing her in a rocket ship. Although she left the planet at the same time that Superman did, her ship took much longer to reach Earth-2.
The character's origins are changed multiple times over the years especially after the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline when Earth-2 no longer existed. However, under the current storylines, Power Girl is once again showed as having come from Earth-2 that was destroyed and fled to the mainstream Earth before relocating to a newly recreated Earth-2 home for those heroes.
