I love Power Girl
These two pictures basically explain it all (might have to cut and paste the url): Pic 1 and Pic 2.
Granted she isn't the most indepth character ever created. She's basically the "other unspoken cousin" of Superman and let's face it, it's her breasticles that we're interested in. They are so prominent and defining, the absence of them would be like...the absence of Superman's "S" or Batman's pointy ears. Power Girl could have a dozen different designs, from costume changes, to having 80's hair, a buzzcut, shoulder length to even male corporate hairstyle; her body size could change from buff, to she-hulkish, to thick and even to moderately thin, but the thing that stays the same....is her boobs. You could never really do that to any other characters period without having people screaming bloody murder. Hell you couldn't even change a hair style without people going nuts.
Now I'm not going to claim that I'm an expert on her. Hell This article is way cooler and more indepth than I could ever enter. But there is just something about how she's handled in the comic industry that appeals to me. She essentially the playboy bunny, the piece of meat of mainstream comics. Vampirella takes the "[i]piece of meat[/i]" crown, but there's something subtle almost deceiving about Power Girl, enough so that she is Comic book Authority approved piece of meat.
I mean aside from her "Magical Cleavage Window" (as it's so aptly named coined in the article) there really isn't a whole lot that raised the slut alert. Perhaps it's because she was most well known in the funnier days of the JLA where tongue in cheek comedy took precedent over extreme sexiness. But even though the truth is that I'm probably liking her more for her bosoms a plenty, there is still something semi-serious that I like about her. How she's Supes cousin and yet not in a Superman outfit like the more prominent cousin of SuperGirl. How she's very similiar to Superman and yet because of her costume you never really associate her with him. There's something very classic and simple about her costume design. It's not entirely complex but yet it's simple enough to not distract most people. It's by no means goofy, and yet somehow her wearing it doesn't exactly bring up to extremly classic costume status.
She's a great facination not only for her mammaries, but because her convuluted history basically makes her as interesting as any comib book character, if only to see how her life has been retconned to death.
