Power Girl is a superheroine in the DC Universe and a denizen of a destroyed alternate dimension. She was born Kara Zor-L, the cousin of an alternate version of Superman, effectively making her the counterpart of Supergirl. The infant Power Girl's parents enabled her to escape the destruction of Krypton. Although she left the planet at the same time that Superman did, her ship took much longer to reach Earth. There, she became a superhero alongside her cousin, and the two became prominent members of the Justice Society of America.
