Power Girl
from DC UniversePower Girl has always been a lot of fun - as Superman’s cousin, she has the same powers but lacks the baggage of being the world’s most iconic superhero. She’s just as capable a champion for truth and justice, serving as a mentor to young hero Terra while also maintaining a secret identity as software entrepreneur Karen Starr. But what I’ve found the most interesting about Power Girl is her struggles with her own identity and her relationship with Supergirl - her counterpart from another world.
Power Girl grew up on the alternate world known as Earth-Two. She was the cousin of that world’s Superman, and while she was known as Supergirl there at first she ultimately forged her own heroic identity as Power Girl. But then she found herself stranded in another world - and while she recognizes that world’s Superman as a younger version of her cousin, she didn’t grow up with him and it’s her own younger duplicate Supergirl who gets to be part of that family.
Power Girl has to deal with being an outsider to her own family and seeing her beloved cousin instead be close to a less-mature version of herself. Meanwhile, that teen-aged Supergirl is confronted with an intimidating vision of her own potential that she’s nowhere near reaching yet. It’s a complex dynamic that adds an emotional grounding and depth to each of their adventures.

Batgirl
from DC UniverseBatgirl is brilliant, driven, and resourceful, turning herself into a superhero without the tremendous resources that Bruce Wayne had access to. She’s prepared for anything and never gives up. Even spinal paralysis won’t stop her - she just becomes Oracle, still doing what she can but now acting as a hacker and advisor to other heroes.

Hippolyta
from DC UniverseHippolyta is queen of Themyscira and the mother of Diana. While Diana is the most famous Wonder Woman, Hippolyta also took up the mantle herself for a time.
As Wonder Woman, Hippolyta brought the same strength and drive for truth and justice as Diana - but with a more regal bearing. Thousands of years of experience as a warrior and as a queen made her a mature leader whose passion was tempered by wisdom. She was easily my favorite Wonder Woman.
