Power Girl of Earth-2
- Real Name: Kara Zor-L
- Alter Ego: Karen Starr
- First Appearance: All-Star Comics No. 58, Jan/Feb 1976: "All-Star Super-Squad".
The daughter of Kryptonian scientist Zor-L and his wife Allura, Power Girl is also the cousin of the Superman of Earth-2. Her Earth-1 counterpart is Supergirl.
Aside being having the expected relative power level with her Earth-1 counterpart, the real difference with Power Girl is in her personality. Namely, she is far more aggressive and strong willed in her manner, which extends to being more prone to use more directly forceful methods in the face of challenges.
In 1983, a powerful god-like being named Maaldor is bored since he has no challenges and therefore seeks amusement. He deems and seeks out the two most powerful beings in the Multiverse: Superman and Power Girl. Maaldor tells them that if they don't entertain him, he'll order the deaths of trillions of beings. They agree and then find themselves in a combat arena. They battle him but are unable to defeat him in straight combat, until Superman tricks him into battling and destroying himself, creating a new dimension of madness that Superman and Power Girl seal before returning back to Earth-1 and Earth-2 respectfully (DCCP No. 56, Apr 1983: "Death in a Dark Dimension!").
Kara is a member of the Justice Society of America and has been an honorary member of Infinity Inc.
