Sure, there's a new Supergirl movie coming out soon, and Milly Alcock is a talented actress - but I think a lot of comic fans are wondering when Power Girl is going to make her live action debut. I mean, Sydney Sweeney is sitting right there, perfect for the role!
You knew he just wouldn't stay down! Mr. Universe is back to vex the heroes of Earth-STF! Will this group be enough to put him away for good - or will he be back? Power Girl and She-Hulk were last seen fighting the Psycho Pirate in STF #3743, and they first met in STF #1482...
Cap is used to working with the next generation of heroes, so it would only be a matter of time before he crossed paths with the Infinitors. He's met Solomon Grundy a couple of times on the blog - first a solo match up in STF #1430, and then an adventure with The Invaders in STF #3623...
It will be interesting to see whether Kang is written out or recast for Avengers 5 (no longer sub-titled The Kang Dynasty). Either way, I don't expect him to have a huge role, and the film will give way to some other big bad for the MCU. Between creative strikes and disappointing reactions to Phase Four, I'm sure Marvel is being extra cautious about their next step with their premiere team.
When Barak Blackburn, a Patron of this Blog, Suggested I pair Kitty Pryde and Power Girl together, along with their pets, the cat lover in me could not resist. My cat Ace is quite a handful all on his own, I can only imaging the mischief he would get into if he had super powers. Thanks for the idea, Barak!
I'm not sure why the DC movies keep trying to give us new badass, no-nonsense Supergirl variants when there's already a perfectly good one to use - Power Girl. She gets no love outside of the comics for some reason. Sure, we've seen Rogue on the big screen before, but she wasn't exactly the sassy Southern fireball we know from the comics - let's hope her next onscreen iteration gets her personality correct.
Of all of the failures of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the depiction of M.O.D.O.K. was the biggest offence for me. His appearance, his identity, his origin and personality were so far off from the comics character that I wondered why they even bothered to include him. I refuse to believe that his look was the best that Marvel could have come up with - I understand he has a somewhat goofy look, but there had to be a better way to realize the character on screen.
Ben Grimm and Karen Starr first appeared together back in a MTIO cover from 2011...
As we reach the mid-point of this Five-Part Epic, We see that The Enchantress is not done with her heartbreaking ways, and that makes for an unlucky thirteenth appearance of The Power Couple on this blog. We finally have a hint of a motive, however - what's this about her true love? Make sure to come back tomorrow for the next chapter in this saga...
I'm looking forward to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law on Disney+. There were some complaints about dodgy CGI in the trailer, but I've seen updated footage that allays those fears, I think it will look fine. Still, I do wonder why they couldn't just paint Tatiana Maslany green and give her a wig and some small props at least for the close up shots. It seems that would be cheaper and simpler, but perhaps it would be too hard to match it up to the CGI shots they do use if they went that way.

One of the big rumors for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness is that we will be seeing cameos by established MCU heroes as played by other actors, either from previous movie franchises or castings that didn't quite work out. I am trying to avoid to many spoilers to see if this is true and if so, who exactly will show up. Still, one I'd love to see is Edward Norton's Bruce Banner/Hulk. I don't know what the relationship is between Norton and Marvel following his replacement with Mark Ruffalo a decade or so back, but it would be a pretty cool moment to see him show up.
It was mentioned in an earlier comment section that Spider-Man and Power-Girl had not yet crossed paths on this blog, and I felt that it was indeed time for them to meet. I can't wait to see what's in store for Spider-Man: No Way Home. There's been all kinds of rampant speculation, but I just hope that all the big surprises have not been spoiled yet. We should be getting a second trailer soon that may confirm some persistent rumors.
There's a new 6-issue mini-series from DC coming out called One Star Squadron. It will be written by Mark Russell with art by Steve Lieber and will feature Power Girl and a handful of other DC B and C-listers in a Heroes for Hire type situation. I can only imagine what Luke Cage would think of Karen Starr's new gig. If it gets good reviews, I'll check it out once collected.
This marks the 12th appearance of The Power Couple on this blog.
As cool as it will be to see what looks to be a variant Supergirl that may be Superman's daughter in The Flash, it does seem like another missed opportunity to at long last bring Power Girl to live action. They've avoided using her on the WB TV Supergirl show, and she is nowhere to be seen in the DCEU. When will Karen Starr finally get her shot?

Sweet Christmas indeed! It will be a mellow one for me this year, with the office Christmas party cancelled and no big family gathering for the first time ever in my life. I will see at least one brother and maybe have a fleeting outdoor visit with my Mom, so I won't be completely alone. I am glad I gave myself a year's subscription to HBO Max as a present, so I'll spend tomorrow with Wonder Woman even if Santa Claus isn't coming!
