[[File:powergirlpunch.jpg|frame|[[Shmuck Bait|That's right]], [[Distracted by the Sexy|look at her]] [[Cleavage Window|chest...]] [[Megaton Punch|*Punch!* ]]]]

 

 

Quite possibly [[Most Common Superpower]] incarnate.

* [[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.

* [[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]]:

** 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.

** In Power Girl's [[Crossover]] with ''Justice League: Generation Lost'' Power Girl has been [[Brainwashed]] into believing that the members of the Justice League International are other heroes planning to conquer and rule humanity. The members of JLI, dreading the destruction and loss of life that would come from fighting Power Girl in earnest (Assuming they could ''survive'' such a fight), try to get through the brainwashing and have her recognize them.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: They are ''not'' "monsters," they are ''G.E.L.F.s.'' It is not that hard to remember.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Ultra-Humanite and Satanna are already well past the [[Moral Event Horizon]], they were murderers and psychopaths long before this series started, but when they put Atlee's brain inside the burned gorilla body it is just '''wrong'''.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Atlee seems to derive nourishment from all the lamps she keeps pointing out:

"[[Status Quo Is God|Well, it seems a lot of things up here follow a formula...a series of events that happen over and over, isn't that true?]] Take supervillains...you guys catch them committing crimes, they go to jail, they ''break out'' and you guys put them back again." }}

* [[Large Ham]]: Vartox is either the single greatest event to happen to comic-books since an artist thought "Wait a second, ''I can make them [[Most Common Superpower|as big as I want]]''," or he has come to murder all Power Girl fans with overexposure to the "sexy superstud from planet Valeron."

* [[Leotard of Power]]

* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]:

* [[Lingerie Scene]]: Vartox decides to dress appropriately for his dinner with Power Girl. The results are...[[Nightmare Fuel|not quite right for a formal dinner]], but Power Girl can not help but peek through her fingers just a little.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: For your convenience, models come both with and without "[[Evil Laugh|Moo-Ha-Ha!]]"

* [[Medium Awareness]]: The narrator is quite aware of how things work in comic-book land:

Vernon O'Valeron A.K.A. '''Vartox'''...'''Life Expectancy''': Waiting to hear back from the editors }}

* [[Mirror Match]]: She's fought her double from the recreated Earth-2, and her evil clone, "Divine".

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: She is every bit as tall as [[Wonder Woman]].

* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: When [[Zatanna]] is in the presence of a man who can copy her powers, she realizes that just beating him in a [[Wizard Duel]] will not solve the problem, she needs to physically leave his presence to keep him from getting her powers permanently.

'''Power Girl:''' "We need to get Zatanna the heck away from that idiot!" }}

* [[Straw Feminist]]: Has come across as one in the past, but has mellowed out since then. Her past behavior was retconned as a ''diet soda allergy.''

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Despite the notoriety of her costume, it is actually rather tame by modern standards (it more or less looks like a swimsuit), and the lack of protection is somewhat justified considering she is bulletproof.

* [[This Is Wrong on So Many Levels]]:

** After Power Girl, Superman and Zatanna are [[Baleful Polymorph|turned in rock-people]] she looks down at her new rock-body and comments that "this is wrong on many, '''''many''''' levels."

* [[Tsundere]]: Power Girl herself during the ''Justice League Europe'' arcs. Considering the one who got her ''dere'' side was the only one who didn't spend all his time ogling her, probably justified.
