Mark's Epic Blog of Randomness

 By Mark Rodriguez Ultra Humanite has suspended the island of Manhattan above the sky and has also captured Power Girl. He wants to place his brain in the body of Power Girl or he threatens to drop the island, threatening countless lives. With Power Girl strapped down and the surgery about to begin, what will she do???   "Gorilla Warfare" opens with Power Girl strapped down to Ultra-Humanite's machinery. As Power Girl ponders how Humanite assumes she's just all body and no brains, the tubes attached her start to freeze up. Humanite asks how she is doing that and Power Girl breaks free of her restraints, sending a piece of machinery into his shoulder. Humanite asks how she did that and Power Girl says she used her freezing breath. She admits it's one of the most glamorous super power in her move set but the point is Humanite isn't as smart as he thinks he is. She socks the albino gorilla into the machinery.

Power Girl feels the pain of him prodding through her mind which she compares it to icy razorblades.  Power Girl asks him when he developed telepathy. Ultra Humanite says he doesn't read m...

It took me a while, but I first started collecting it near the end of its run before the New 52 started. after finding back issues at Bent Wookee, Comic World, and Stories, and then filling in the gaps with Hipcomic, I finally have the full set of Power Girl's 2009 run. This was all before the New 52 came in and reset her story with the World Finest Huntress and Power Girl series. Let's check out how this series got started.

That isn't exactly how the story played out as we see an adult Kara awaken in her space pod. "A New Beginning" opens in New York City as Power Girl soars through the skies, wanting a fresh new start. She was born on a Krypton from an alternate Earth and was a former member of the Justic...
