Power Girl & The Huntress

First Appearance:
Power Girl in Mr. Terrific #1 (2011)
Huntress in Huntress #1 (2011)

Base of Operations:
Earth

Powers:
Power Girl has almost the same powers as our Earth’s Supergirl, including flight invulnerability and super speed. Huntress has no super human powers but was trained by Batman of Earth 2 in combat skills and as a detective.

History:
Both originally from Earth 2, Kara Zor-El (AKA Supergirl, the cousin of Earth 2’s Superman) and Helena Wayne (AKA Robin, the daughter of Earth 2’s Batman and Catwoman) battled alongside that planet’s heroes against the massive armies of Darkseid. During the battle that drove Darkseid from Earth 2 but cost the lives of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, Kara and Helena traveled via Boom Tube to our Earth. Arriving on our world approximately five years ago, the duo is alive but left with no way home.

Taking on new identities as Power Girl and Huntress, the two continue to look for any way back to Earth 2 while fighting injustice on this planet. Kara’s early adventures on this Earth as Karen Starr led to her having a relationship with Mr. Terrific, who ironically is now stranded on Earth 2 himself. What will become of these heroes, and who else from Earth 2 may have followed them?
