Mark's Epic Blog of Randomness

 By Mark Rodriguez The Supergirl and Robin from Earth 2 were blasted to the current Earth. After adapting for years, they renamed themselves as Power Girl and the Huntress. Last time Kara knocked Hakkou, who at this point has become a giant monster, into the rivers of Tokyo to keep him away from civilians. Now they wonder what to do next as they fly over there. Rebirth Conclusion starts with PG carrying Huntress as they fly towards the river, wondering why Hakkou’s radiation can hurt Karen and if he came from Apokolips. However, Hakkou is now messing with oil tankers that can seriously mess up Japanese waters. Karen drops Helena on a nearby ship so she can make the sailors go back and rescue all the survivors. Karen dives underwater and tries to lift up the oil tanker and take it away from the sea. However the ship breaks in half splattering Kara in oil, as well as making an even larger oil spill in the ocean. Kara decides to use her heat vision to burn all the oil away. We t...

 By Mark Rodriguez Where last we left our dynamic heroines, the Irradiated Man, Hakkou took Power Girl down and now it’s up to the quite vulnerable and very human Huntress to defend her unconscious friend. Let’s see what happens. 'Rebirth part 3' starts with Huntress firing arrows at Hakkou, trying to radioactive monster from getting closer. The monster burns down all of them and then starts throwing huge steel rods at her. Helena manages to dodge them but is caught against a corner. Power Girl grabs onto her leg with the last of her strength, despite the fact that his radiation hurts her. Huntress shoots at the pipes above Hakkou and wash him in coolant. The coolant was also full of radioactive waste, and Hakkou says he has fed enough and jumps out of the facility. Huntress helps Power Girl to her feet, and the blonde tells Helena that she shouldn’t be so close to radiation. Helena said her body is immune to most toxins. As the leave, they mention how Hakkou talked about the w...

 By Mark Rodriguez Formerly known as the Supergirl and Robin of Earth 2, both women founds themselves blasted into the main DC Earth. After years of adapting to their new world, they renamed themselves to Power Girl and The Huntress. Karen (Power Girl) bought a power plant in Tokyo, hoping to use its Quantum Tunneler to somehow send them back home…. When this villain named Hakkou the Irradiated Man blew it up. Now the women want payback. ‘Rebirth II’ starts with Hakkou attacking the women. He tosses a huge chunk of steel that Power Girl swats away like nothing. Since the Quantum Tunneler is damaged, Power Girl has no problem wrecking her lab further as long as it takes this guy down. However, once she finally lays a punch on the guy, the radiation is severely painful to the Kryptonian. Hakkou grabs Power Girl’s wrists and burns her alive. Huntress shoots an arrow into the man’s ear. Screaming in pain, he runs through a wall and gets away. Huntress makes sure her friend is alri...

 By Mark Rodriguez The New 52 served as a big reboot for most of the DC Universe, though in Batman's case it was more like condensing. In the new continuity, Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown were never Batgirl, and some characters like Power Girl and the Huntress flat out don't exist anymore. Of the 52 new titles, one was Mr. Terrific which featured a familiar looking blonde named Karen Star which fans speculated might have been the New 52 Power Girl. While Mr. Terrific's title was cancelled, Power Girl returned in the second wave of the New 52 and brought Huntress along for the ride. Let's check out the rebooted versions of these two. World’s Finest # 1 starts off the series with ‘Rebirth’ as Helena (Huntress) and Karen (Power Girl) have dinner at a fancy restaurant in Tokyo. As Helena burns down passports of her past identities, Karen holds a toast to their new lives. The women discuss how Karen bought a lab in Japan… when suddenly she gets an emergency call.    The...
