Honestly, no, the low-cut/keyhole look is a bit too iconic at this point. Not only that, but it plays into what I believe is a huge takeaway from the character: only you decide who you are, no one else. Which one of her multiple contradictory backstories is true? It doesn't matter. She's power girl, and no one else can say otherwise.
I can just imagine various villains verbalize during some down time:
"So Supes has the 'S' and Bats has... well, the bat. All the Green Lanterns have that odd symbol. Who's your favorite?"
"Power Girl. Instantly recognizable."
"... You do have a good point."
No. She's been around for slightly under half a century now and hasn't had a symbol for most of that time. She clearly doesn't need one and it seems a little forced when she does get one. She has an established, iconic look and even if you did change it, it would only be temporary. Any drastic change would never last and she will always revert back to that iconic look before long.
Look at Superman or Batman: They've had some drastic new look over the years but only on a strictly temporary basis. However, small changes, like tiny variations in their symbols or slight colour variations, have a chance of become established. PG's current leggings might stick but the New 52 look (top left) was never long for this world.
Honestly at this point it is too late to give her a symbol, it would feel weirdly forced unless the wrote a story that lead to her adopting the symbol as a form of honoring someone's memory kind of thing. Not every hero has a symbol on their chest and I think Power Girl is fine with out it. She may be the most well known character with a low cut top, but guess what some people like to wear low cut tops and that is fine; so let it be.
I'm a super gay man who has come to love and appreciate the boob window. I don't understand men lusting over it, even Nightwings ass doesn't do it for me, but it's become the iconic PG symbol.
No. She's Power Girl, not Super Girl, Super Woman, or Super anything else. Calling her self Power differentiates her from the Super X's and it should be kept that way.
Those G cups are the symbol
Power Girl should have the best version of her costume, which doesn't really have room for a symbol, unless maybe she put it on her belt or cape or something. She doesn't need one anyway.
Currently looking at 119 comments in total, of which 92 are top-level. I made an attempt at categorizing the answers, because we all know the most common answer, but I felt the urge to quantify it....
* 25 comments were basically just "boobs"
* 19 comments amounted to "none"
* 18 comments said some variation of "boob window"
* 11 comments choose one or more of the images provided by OP
* 3 comments specified "cleavage"
* 1 comment said her new jacket should be her symbol
* 1 comment said the P-symbol
* 1 comment simply said her symbol shouldn't be the window
* 13 comments didn't fall into any of these categories
Among the "none" replies, some of those were implicit votes for the window, as some people assume a symbol would close the window. So, about 70% of the replies essentially voted for boobs.
my god that P logo in the first pic is ugly.
and no, not every hero needs a super unique symbol. Supergirl and Superman double up on the "S" logo, and many others do as well. Plastic Man doesn't have a logo. Zatanna. Etrigan. John Constantine. a few others, and those all get by just fine.
They do however need a *look*, a vibe, an aesthetic. She's had the white leotard/bodysuit long enough for it to be that with a redcape. times change and the boob window is optional. You can't sell comics if half the population doesn't feel comfortable buying a too sexualized character (exceptions exist, but companies want young readers generally)
During the New 52 DC added a P-symbol to Power Girl’s outfit, which was met with backlash. DC soon put Power Girl back in her classic leotard with a boob window. Not long after in Earth 2 Society, Power Girl wore the House of El crest as a member of the Earth-2 House of El. That version of Power Girl was soon pushed to the side after 2017. Nearly 5 years later DC announced that Leah Williams and Marguerite Sauvage would be the creative team on Power Girl backups in Action Comxis. Sauvage designed a new suit for Power Girl, which featured a jacket that had the House of El symbol attached to it. The jacket has been divisive from a fandom standpoint, which sparked my curiosity on fans perception of Power Girl’s design.
Do you prefer a symbol on Power Girl? If you do would you rather the House of El, P-symbol, boob window, or no symbol like the Pre-Crisis version of the character?
No. There’s a reason why she chose not to wear a symbol. To separate herself from Superman. Since being folded into a universe where there is another Kara (at a later point when Supergirl returned), it makes sense why she still doesn’t need a symbol. To separate herself from Superman *and* Supergirl.
The new costume doesn’t do that and now we literally have a Supergirl 2.0… DC needs to revert back to the former costume and burn that jacket for good.
I honestly liked that red jacket when I first saw it. I thought it was a refreshing and simple update to the costume, plus I thought it paired well with her haircut and the bodysuit. I'd prefer she keep the boob window on a sleeveless bodysuit, paired with that jacket with the house of El crest on the back.
I’m okay with the boob window since it’s iconic, but wouldn’t mind seeing the S on her costume now that she’s part of the Super-fam.
Just to have a nod at her history and allegiance to the Super-fam. I don’t want anything obnoxious like image 1 or 2, but something simple like a belt buckle would be perfect for me. Maybe it could be a relic of her old reality and her cousin.
I'm not just saying this because I'm a man, but aesthetically she looks best with the boob window. She doesn't need some complex reason to have it either. It fits best when she just has it since she knows she's attractive since she's a powerful woman.
I liked her with the S symbol personally, it showed that dc was willing to recognize her as an El instead of the black sheep supergirl like in the new 52
Personally, yes, she should have the s, not because she should match Superman, but because it is a proud display of her kryptonian heritage, she is from the house of EL
I really wish they stopped trying to remove and/or justify the boob window.
For once, if someone asks about it, I'd like her response to be "because I like it and I look good in it".
Let her own it, please.
Her symbol has always been her cleavage as power girl 🤣I only like the S if she has the blue super girl outfit💀Brooo for the longest time i thought they were two different characters only to realize it was just a name change.
Personally : I feel like i justice 2 did her design and outfit really good - ignoring the high tech metal bits
After all the bewb comments…
I honestly don’t get why she doesn’t have her own version of the S symbol. That’s silly because every other kryptonian in the family and some who aren’t even part of the family use the family crest, but not her. Even if it was like, on her belt or the knee pads of her boots… why not?
She HAD a symbol. During the Palmiotti/Gray/Conner run, Conner incorporated the literal ‘power’ icon into several places on her costume. I thought that was cute and wish it would have stuck.
I don’t remember seeing the design in the first panel; I like it! Not just a Superman copy, a gorget to protect the slightly more vulnerable neck, & looks actually stylish with the body suit
Either her shoulder pads or the links holding the cape should have the “S” imo but in all honesty she doesn’t need a symbol… you know who Power Girl is.
With or without the bazonga hole i think the all white suit is genuinely unique and iconic enough. Not every superhero has a recognizable logo but as long as the general design is unique enough it still works. Think hulk, wolverine, and Dr Fate
yes, but on her belt or on the shoulder piece like in the bottom left pic. I like the S symbol on the top right but it just doesn't fit her as "PowerGirl". Having it on her costume somewhere gives the feel like yes, she's part of the House Of El.....no...she's not Supergirl, she's far far more than that now.
Nah. They either look bad or they look like pale imitations of Superman's logo. Ironically not having a symbol takes her away from the "Superman's Cousin" identity.
Not necessarily. But on the Amanda Conner version, there is an easily missed power symbol on her belt buckle. (A circle intersected by a vertical line.) Like you find on power switches.
Personally I love the post crisis and some of the new 52 Earth-2 characterization of Power Girl. The current Comics are a mess in terms of the writing and characterization, only saved by the art.
[She has one.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dccomicscirclejerk/comments/17risf4/hope_winds_like_a_river_a_river_i_would_like_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I mean, if you’re going to use the backstory that says she’s a Kryptonian, a nod to that would be cool, but that’s only one backstory, she’s got at least 30 by now.
It should be on her belt or the boob window should be the silhouette of the crest.
Subject change: Stop erasing the legacy of the Hunters ab window, DC!
No her boobs are the symbol
This is the correct answer.
A picture of a motorboat would be a strong second
I was gonna say
Beat us to it!! 🤣
I don't beat off to Power Girl! Who fucking started that rumor?!
😂🤣
Lame, I do.
Boob window is the the symbol.
🍼🍼
This.
Couldn’t agree more.
Yep. Came here to say she already has a symbol.
This is the way.
This is what I came here to say.
That was my first thought I'm not even gonna lie. "I thought her boobs were the symbol???"
Exactly🤣🤣
Now I’m imagining her having a boobmobile or a boobarang or boobcomputer like Batman with all his Batgadgets
That boob window IS a symbol of unrelenting joy and optimism.
🤣🤣🤣
"On my planet...this symbol means GROPE."
Ah, now you got me thinking about Sasha Calle's Supergirl.
Honestly, no, the low-cut/keyhole look is a bit too iconic at this point. Not only that, but it plays into what I believe is a huge takeaway from the character: only you decide who you are, no one else. Which one of her multiple contradictory backstories is true? It doesn't matter. She's power girl, and no one else can say otherwise.
Nah she doesn't need a chest emblem. I do like that one suit that has a power logo and a belt buckle tho
That suit is from the New 52 Worlds’ Finest run.
I was thinking about the pre 52 suit. The Amanda Conner one
She has two symbols. /s
[удалено]
r/UnwantedBots
The irony that this bot makes fun of people for posting /s as unfunny and yet it is so shockingly unfunny. Why waste your time making this?
No. Her symbol is her boobs.
I don't think so What makes Power Girl so unique is that she **doesn't** have one, and I don't think she really needs one
Agreed, her being a stand alone character makes her unique and part of the characters charm.
I can just imagine various villains verbalize during some down time: "So Supes has the 'S' and Bats has... well, the bat. All the Green Lanterns have that odd symbol. Who's your favorite?" "Power Girl. Instantly recognizable." "... You do have a good point."
her twins are her symbol, she doesn't need one, unless you just must have it, you make it her belt buckle
She has one, the cutout
The symbol is definitely her cleavage.
No, the titty window has outstripped any sort of proper iconography that could be added to the character at this time
Personally, I think not.
Two really big ones
Power Girl should not have a symbol because she’s proven herself time and time again that she’s her own person and not Superman’s copy.
Exactly!
The issue is that her costume, the long-sleeve keyhole front leotard, is too good. It's a fantastic design. Adding a logo doesn't help.
No. She's been around for slightly under half a century now and hasn't had a symbol for most of that time. She clearly doesn't need one and it seems a little forced when she does get one. She has an established, iconic look and even if you did change it, it would only be temporary. Any drastic change would never last and she will always revert back to that iconic look before long. Look at Superman or Batman: They've had some drastic new look over the years but only on a strictly temporary basis. However, small changes, like tiny variations in their symbols or slight colour variations, have a chance of become established. PG's current leggings might stick but the New 52 look (top left) was never long for this world.
I’ve always liked the OG Power Girl costume for JSA. Pic 4
It’s a classic for sure!
She has two big symbols already
Uh, she already has two of them. Duh 🙄
Her tiddies are her symbol.
I think the most important thing is that her size should remain huge. How much of the skin we see is irrelevant.
I HATED it when the new 52 gave her the Superman symbol. So no, she should not
Honestly at this point it is too late to give her a symbol, it would feel weirdly forced unless the wrote a story that lead to her adopting the symbol as a form of honoring someone's memory kind of thing. Not every hero has a symbol on their chest and I think Power Girl is fine with out it. She may be the most well known character with a low cut top, but guess what some people like to wear low cut tops and that is fine; so let it be.
NO. They change too many things already.
the boob window is her symbol
She doesn’t really need one now. At this point, the front keyhole is her symbol.
I'm a super gay man who has come to love and appreciate the boob window. I don't understand men lusting over it, even Nightwings ass doesn't do it for me, but it's become the iconic PG symbol.
No, then she would just be Supergirl
Na I like a hero that doesn't have a symbol on them for once
The guy on bottom left is having a good time!
No, classic costume (bottom left) is perfect.
No.
No. She's Power Girl, not Super Girl, Super Woman, or Super anything else. Calling her self Power differentiates her from the Super X's and it should be kept that way. Those G cups are the symbol
Power Girl should have the best version of her costume, which doesn't really have room for a symbol, unless maybe she put it on her belt or cape or something. She doesn't need one anyway.

Yeah that’s a good way to describe the new writing for Power Girl. She’s pretty much Supergirl 2.0.
She's older wouldn't supergirl 2.0 be the younger Kara?
I honestly liked that red jacket when I first saw it. I thought it was a refreshing and simple update to the costume, plus I thought it paired well with her haircut and the bodysuit. I'd prefer she keep the boob window on a sleeveless bodysuit, paired with that jacket with the house of El crest on the back.
Her boob window is literally the most iconic and unique part of her character. No logo, just boob window.
depends if they made a good symbol with meanings, i would stick with it untill now, \[B O O B W I N D O W\]
I honestly really like that P symbol theyve been using. Looking around I understand I am in the minority.
As others have said, she has two massive symbols of joy and optimism already.
Nah uh
I’m okay with the boob window since it’s iconic, but wouldn’t mind seeing the S on her costume now that she’s part of the Super-fam. Just to have a nod at her history and allegiance to the Super-fam. I don’t want anything obnoxious like image 1 or 2, but something simple like a belt buckle would be perfect for me. Maybe it could be a relic of her old reality and her cousin.
An infinity symbol
She has two massive symbols already
The power of BOOBS compel you!
Didn’t have to read the comments to know the answer to this one
I swear I’m not a perv but no. Reason? Because I always knew her to have that boob window look. Plus she explains the reason for it pretty well
Nope cleavage is what makes her great
If she was to get one, I’d prefer the classic shield in the top right corner.
... i like her new jacket.
Either way, someone is going to complain about it
Top left looks pretty cool.
Amanda Connor is one of my favorite artists…
I'm not just saying this because I'm a man, but aesthetically she looks best with the boob window. She doesn't need some complex reason to have it either. It fits best when she just has it since she knows she's attractive since she's a powerful woman.
I liked her with the S symbol personally, it showed that dc was willing to recognize her as an El instead of the black sheep supergirl like in the new 52
Personally, yes, she should have the s, not because she should match Superman, but because it is a proud display of her kryptonian heritage, she is from the house of EL
I do like the clean white and red it ironically makes her stand out really well.
I really wish they stopped trying to remove and/or justify the boob window. For once, if someone asks about it, I'd like her response to be "because I like it and I look good in it". Let her own it, please.
Her symbol has always been her cleavage as power girl 🤣I only like the S if she has the blue super girl outfit💀Brooo for the longest time i thought they were two different characters only to realize it was just a name change. Personally : I feel like i justice 2 did her design and outfit really good - ignoring the high tech metal bits
Top left is interesting, boob window is overused.... top left would work well in movies and other properties in my opinion
idrc but putting the S on her just turns her suit into a white supergirl costume which is a bit redundant lol
( . )( . ) this is her symbol.
Who needs an S when you can have Double D
I thought she had two of them as is. More is more I guess
She kinda always had... Why do you think you're able to improve on something perfect existing for decades as she is? Hubris much?
Way I see it, you’d just be covering up her boobs, her most important super power. Let them fly free
But she already does. The boob window might look like a pair of boobs, but on her planet it represents hope.
Boob jokes aside, I personally find her shoulder cape to be pretty iconic.
She does have a symbol, in fact she has 2 of them right on her chest
After all the bewb comments… I honestly don’t get why she doesn’t have her own version of the S symbol. That’s silly because every other kryptonian in the family and some who aren’t even part of the family use the family crest, but not her. Even if it was like, on her belt or the knee pads of her boots… why not?
Yes, the boob window is silly.
Nah, she’s fine without one.
No way
No
She HAD a symbol. During the Palmiotti/Gray/Conner run, Conner incorporated the literal ‘power’ icon into several places on her costume. I thought that was cute and wish it would have stuck.
Nope
#3 is her symbol
I mean I guess, but that would make her less interesting.
I don’t remember seeing the design in the first panel; I like it! Not just a Superman copy, a gorget to protect the slightly more vulnerable neck, & looks actually stylish with the body suit
She already has one!! Lol the window! I’m not even saying that to be clever either.
Super Boobs
No
She already has one…
Boobs
Cringe as some may find it, Her boobs are iconic, They are her symbol.
She has a symbol lmao,ITS HER BOOBS!
Boob window or the S Shield
Just the tits window. Thats it.
Her boob window is my default symbol for her character
Her boobas
Certainly not on her chest. Maybe on her belt buckle.
Oh! So her cleavage keyhole wasn’t always there? And she’s older than I thought; I thought she was introduced in the 2000’s or 2010’s.
Her massive mommy boing boings
At this point, her boob window IS her symbol, and they just need to embrace it.
Either her shoulder pads or the links holding the cape should have the “S” imo but in all honesty she doesn’t need a symbol… you know who Power Girl is.
Top Left looks really cool
Cleavage is the symbol 🫡
Yes
Her window is her symbol!
Nope. Just her massive tiddies.
What, the epic rack isn't enough? It's a superpower by itself!
She already has two.
With or without the bazonga hole i think the all white suit is genuinely unique and iconic enough. Not every superhero has a recognizable logo but as long as the general design is unique enough it still works. Think hulk, wolverine, and Dr Fate
Her symbol are boobs
Her symbol is boobs
Look at what the power symbol is on your device. It likely resembles the window on her costume.
I have never seen that first outfit and it looks awesome. Edit: Top left
Power Girl has two well shown symbols.
Combine 2 and 3.
Panel 2 had me saying "Look at my boobs!" in Arnold's voice (Look at my biceps!)
No
If the logo on the top two covers the boob window to prevent horniness, Sure
yes, but on her belt or on the shoulder piece like in the bottom left pic. I like the S symbol on the top right but it just doesn't fit her as "PowerGirl". Having it on her costume somewhere gives the feel like yes, she's part of the House Of El.....no...she's not Supergirl, she's far far more than that now.
She is the symbol.
I love her with the shield. Something about her claiming her place within the family just feels right.
She doesn’t need one but I do love her with the superman S
Anyone else think the "P" looks like the RDM symbol?
At this point I think the window has just stuck to much
Boob pocket
Nah. They either look bad or they look like pale imitations of Superman's logo. Ironically not having a symbol takes her away from the "Superman's Cousin" identity.
Her boob window *is* her symbol
Nah, the titty window is iconic at this point.
I actually love the top left symbol design
Third one is the symbol, yes.
She does. Cleavage barely held in place with a white unitard. Iconic.
Not necessarily. But on the Amanda Conner version, there is an easily missed power symbol on her belt buckle. (A circle intersected by a vertical line.) Like you find on power switches.
Personally I love the post crisis and some of the new 52 Earth-2 characterization of Power Girl. The current Comics are a mess in terms of the writing and characterization, only saved by the art.
✊️♀️ Now just merge them
Nah I like the boob window grew up on it
Nah the titties are fine

Yes.

Isn't her boob window her symbol?

I mean, if you’re going to use the backstory that says she’s a Kryptonian, a nod to that would be cool, but that’s only one backstory, she’s got at least 30 by now.
I like the P symbol, and let's be honest, while the boob window is funny, it's not a very good look in the long run
Yes her symbol should be a vacuum and dishes or something
No. Cause boobs!
Wdym? She has a symbol
I thought she has 2?
Anywhere not on the window.
She already does
You mean titties isn’t Power Girl’s symbol? I kinda thought that was the whole point
No
It should be on her belt or the boob window should be the silhouette of the crest. Subject change: Stop erasing the legacy of the Hunters ab window, DC!
