I’ve always liked the character in its many iterations. (Although I’d have loved to have seen the silver age SG tell Clark to pound sand.)
I think she’s at here best in iterations where she is actually more powerful than Superman. Usually because she “metabolizes” yellow sun radiation more efficiently.
I also have liked the trend that was established in the late Bronze Age & JLU of putting her in the “juniors fashion” & hairstyles of the period. It seems so on point. Although, I must confess, I’m a sucker for any suit incarnation that includes a skirt. It’s a very simple way for her to separate herself from Superman.
If you haven’t read Crisis on Infinite Earths (COIE) I strongly recommend it. It really shows off how truly heroic and what a total badass the character can be. She’s the only “super” that is really capable of doing the anti-monitor damage. And Kara and Barry going out in back to back issues. What a gut punch combo.
My only gripe with DCSHG the series, is that they should have left her as Power Girl. Her personality in that series fits PG better than SG.

Thanks very much for your input.
We already covered Supergirl’s costumes so I decided to see how Linda Lee Danvers looked.
I found that
Mike Sekowsky
Didn’t use Linda
Very much in her
Adventure Comics run
A typical image is
While
Carmine Infantino
Made her as fashionable
As he made Iris West
I was amased that
Carmine was her artist
For a while
He was one of the top
Artists at the time
It was mainly
The stories
That let Kara Down
Until 1982
She shared page counts
With other characters
And there was no continuity even
After she finally got
Her own title
Both boyfriends
And female friends
Disappeared
After being introduced in one issue.
The only standout issues was the
Supergirl and Krypto
In space arc recently
It started out strong
But was ruined
When it had
To integrate
With the Bendis mess of
Crazy Jor el
And misused Jon Kent and Lois Lane.
Power Girl at least had her Amanda Conner issues.
The greatest Supergirl title was by Peter David
But that was not
Kara Zor el

I’d disagree on the greatest run being Peter David’s. I prefer the Daring New Adventures of Supergirl (Kupperberg & Infanto) which changed to just Supergirl after the first 12 issues.
It was near the end of the Bronze Age, which I find the best Age of comics to date. The blend of serious & grounded characters that still had a bit of absurdist flavor. Comics are slightly absurd to begin with. Just roll with it.
I’m in total agreement on the Conner PG run. As it used comedy, especially sardonic humor. At a time (2009) when female character design was under attack. They leaned into the idea rather than away from it.
Random character: You just saved me from falling off that skyscraper. How can I ever thank you!
Power Girl: How about looking me in the eyes when you talk to me. They’re up here.
So on point. It even touches on why her suit has the “boob window” and her explanation is quite an emotionally loaded answer. Karen Starr takes no $**t.
Supergirl never appeared on Earth-2. PG was the Supergirl of Earth-2. Even going so far as to start her off as thinking she was Superman’s cousin. Superman thought so as well.
