Lazarus Planet has bestowed power on all manner of people in the DC Universe. Shouldn't power Girl get a bump because it's in her name?

Rveryone seems to be getting powers in the DC Universe right now – even those who already have them. Last week, Superman got a big power boost courtesy of Warworld. Adding to super-strength, super-speed, flight, invulnerability, super sight, X-ray vision, super-hearing, heat vision, super-breath, and a solar explosion, being exposed to a white sun has given Superman… I suppose white power would be the wrong phrase? Because now he can open up wormholes, and more.

Sounding a little Doctor Manhattan on us. But he's not alone, Lazarus Planet has showered Lazarus juice on everyone… no, that sounds wrong as well. Either way, lots of people who had no powers, now have them. And those who had powers, some of them have more. Such as Power Girl, whose name suggests she should have plenty…

But as well as having a version of Supergirl's powers, which were a version of Superman's power, in this week's Lazarus Planet: Assault On Krypton, out from DC Comics on Tuesday, she gets to level up a bit.

She's psychic now. To be fair, hasn't everyone got a relation wbo claims that? Now so does Superman. Ish.
