  The (Power) Girl and her (Wild) Cat, part 2 Previously on JSApril, Power Girl was a jerk to everyone but especially Wild Cat... Yesterday Begins Today, All-Star Comics #64 (Februray 1977) So the new thing that's changed is Power Girls costume, though her symbol it seems is still pending as she rejects it with all the tact we've seen before.

After counting out the obvious candidates of Jay Garrick (Flash) , Alan Scott (Green Lantern), and Power Girl natch,  my favourite character might surprise you, being Ted Grant* (Wildcat)! Now this is from the 70s JSA, the first I really got to know, Yolanda Montez (Wildcat 3), Beth Chapel (Dr Mid-Nite) and Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl) are solid modern contenders and for the late 70s we obviously have Kara's bo Helena Waybe (Huntress).  I need to stop before this turns into what have DC ever done for us? Basically, I love all the JSA members! All-Star Super Squad, All-Star Comics #58 (February 1976) With Power Girl being a later ...
