History:
Carol Brock was a hippie painter who supported herself by doing odd
jobs in Metropolis. She also had a minor metagene. Her body could absorb
energy
and use it to produce blinding flashes or temporary bursts of strength.
She
naively thought this was enough to make her a super hero.
On one of her first missions out, the villain Black Adam slammed her
into an abandoned building which promptly collapsed on her. Her injuries were
very severe. Her brain was damaged and she felt herself begin to die.
Enter Arion, master magician of ancient Atlantis. He fused her near
dead body with the spirit of his slain granddaughter, Power Girl. (His
motives for this may
have been less than altruistic and he may have devious reasons involving
`karmic responsibilities' for this.) He also gave her a belt buckle with PG's
Atlantian gemstone in it. He then disappeared.
PG is not quite the woman she was. Her memories are incredibly
fragmented and she remembers very little that happened to her after
Crisis. She has studied up in hopes of jogging her memory,but with little
luck.
She also seems to have a great deal of Carol Brock's memories too or at
least enough to keep up that identity. Still, PG is much more materialistic
than Carol was, and has found her near poverty very annoying. She has been
doing a lot of stock trading on the Internet and has been painting
retro-futuristic pictures of Krypton and Atlantis. Of the two, the later has
been more successful. These visions of
another time are enjoying a bit of a vogue at present. Between the two she
enjoys a fairly stable existence with occasional windfalls and the much more
frequent shortfalls that both jobs have.
Soon the blond bombshell will be a name to be reckoned with again!
Powers.
As long as she possesses the belt buckle with the Atlantian jewel in
it, Carol's body can absorb a nearly continuous flow of Atlantian Magical
energy. She can use this to make herself invulnerable to damage around that
of bullets, to fly, to give herself superspeed, and make herself super
strong. She can also fire energy beams from her eyes. In her super form, she
has no need to breathe in space.
Weakness/Limitations
There is a limit to how much of this energy she can absorb, and the
more she uses it the more she depletes her `battery'. (Particularly weakening
is her energy blast vision). If the fight last too long, her powers fade. If
she loses the belt buckle, her powers will fade.
PG's fighting style is very rough and flamboyant. She is likely to
attack first and with a full fledged punch than a more careful attack. She
energetically enjoys fighting, but is not psycho about it. She's perfectly
capable of controlling herself emotionally.
Kryptonite does not hurt her (although it does make her feel nauseous),
nor is she particularly vulnerable to magic. She is extra vulnerable to
attacks that drain her energy/power. Her mental state is fractured and she is
more susceptable to psionic attacks.
