Line 22:
== Let's get these out of the way, shall we? ==
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]] - Type III, with Type I and Type IV popping up depending on what situation she is being forced into.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]
* [[Buxom Is Better]]
Line 50:
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: "'Rue the day'? Nobody talks like that anymore. It just sounds stupid." "It's a classic villain line."
* [[Character Development]]: From her "victim to raw materials" days in the 90s, she was brought into the [[Justice Society of America]] and eventually became its Superman equivalent (until Earth-22 Superman arrived) and, later, the team's first chairwoman.
* [[Chest Insignia]]: A notable ''lack'' of one, she has what is termed a "boob window." Because of her [[Continuity Snarl|long and complicated history]] there have been numerous explanations as to why, exactly, she has this window. The current story behind it is kind of sad - she could not think of a symbol, so she left it blank and never filled it and is actually undergoing a minor identity crisis as she tries to figure out where she fits in the world. Though not all reasons have been as poignant, they are all intentional and rational. Previously, one of her explanations was that the window gave a clear indication of who and what she was: Strong, feminine and yes, big-breasted. If people were overly preoccupied or distracted by the last part that was their problem, not hers, [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|she would not be bound by what they thought of her.]]
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: After the author/artist switch to Judd Winick and Sami Basri, Terra, who had been Power Girl's sidekick/partner/sister throughout the early issues, is neither seen nor mentioned.
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Her disguise as Karen Starr for most of her existence has been tying her hair back. That is it. She herself explains that her large breasts actually help keep her identity secret, especially considering the [[Cleavage Window]], [[Distracted By the Sexy|since they draw attention away from her face.]] In issue #22, Superman himself advises her to make Karen Starr a real person, not just a costume. She gets a makeover to make Karen appear more different from Power Girl, involving a business suit, red hair, and, of course, glasses. [[Lampshade Hanging|The reveal alternates panels between her and Clark Kent to highlight their similar disguises]].
Line 86:
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]]: Well, they do not have green skin, but other than that...
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Heck, even the [[Even the Girls Want Her|superheroines]] probably want her.
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Apparently, Max Lord gave Professor Ivo very strict instructions ''not'' to clone Krypto, Superman's dog.
{{quote| '''Max Lord:''' "We talked about this! ''Don't clone the dog!'' Dogs are ''weird''! [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|The whole loyalty thing just seems to be branded right in on a genetic level]], for Pete's sake!"}}
* [[Homage Shot]]: At one point when Atlee and Power Girl are at the movies, the main cast of [[The Big Bang Theory]] are seen, most notably Howard, who then proceeds to hit on her. And strike out. HARD.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Power Girl actually discusses this trope when fighting her evil clone. She reasons that, even if "Divine" has all the same powers as her that does not mean she knows how to ''use'' those powers, since she has only been "alive" for ten minutes and has never worked with thse abilities before.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight|"I Know You're In There Somewhere" Fight]]:
** When Terra was {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me|taken over by the Ultra-Humanite]]}} and fighting Power Girl she kept taunting PG with regards to this trope.
Line 131:
* [[The Seventies]]: The planet Valeron might actually be an alien world perpetually stuck in the era of disco.
* [[Shopping Montage]]: With Atlee to get furniture for her new apartment. Also Cinnamon Buns.
* [[Shout
** When Power Girl knocks out Siphon and reverses his spell to "Unleash Hell," the demon malestrom vanishes and she says "so long [[HP Lovecraft]]."
** [[Real Genius (Film)|"Rue the day?" Who talks like that?]]
Line 164:
