Power Girl's Secret Identity Is Now Doctor Paige Stetler
This week sees the publication of a new Power Girl comic book series from DC Comics, by Leah Williams, Eduardo Pansica and Julio Ferreira.
This week sees the publication of a new Power Girl comic book series from DC Comics, by Leah Williams, Eduardo Pansica and Julio Ferreira. It returns with a couple of new things.
First, it has a recap page/panel, the thing that DC Comics eschewed because Marvel Comics did it, and what Brian Bendis did his best to try and get around when writing Superman comic books. And indeed, she took the name Paige back in the Power Girl Special earlier in the year. With a cut-and-paste zoom-in panel. Apparently Karen Starr from years past would only make her a Super Karen these days.
Well, every" Christian name" – or should that be Raoist name? – needs a surname. And in this week's Power Girl #1 from DC Comics, we get that full nomenclature.
Doctor Paige Stetler. A doctorate as well. And an identity that both Superman and Superboy had a hand in. Someone clearly suggested spectacles to disguise herself, but she never seemed to have an issue drawing the eye away from her facial features. And her dress of choice for this occasion mirrors that aspect of her costume.
And has something to say with it, as well. Welcome to the DC Universe, Doctor Paige Stetler, I hope you survive the experience. Power Girl #1 is published this Tuesday, the 26th of September. Maybe cut down on the lemon juices…
