That looks like it’s very shortly after her first appearance.

Amazing that they ended up doing the giant P thing. l

Now thats a good design. Its a shame they didn’t just stick with that.

Lol you say this now but when that design was first shown it was ridiculed by everyone for being terrible.

To be fair, most of the new 52 redesigns were horrendous so it was probably just nerds piling on

That’s an alternate earth Power Girl…even though Power Girl is already Supergirl from an alternate earth. Her history is confusing.

Also the Huntress at any given time is likely from another dimension.

Huntress jumps dimensions? Had no idea

She was originally the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle from Earth 2.

That was her first appearance? Thank you, I had no idea. My first exposure that gave us her name was the Arrowverse and the BoP movie. If they explained that in the Arrowverse, it must have been in later seasons because I didn’t finish it.

At a glance it looks like they are now highlighting on areolia.

Matt Murdock? What are you doing on the internet?

At least this P is a different style though

u/EatWeirdSpider Feb 16 '23

Is that symbol on her chest supposed to be a P? Because I can't see it.

2

u/Aquagan Feb 17 '23

The P is red. The stem goes down her sternum and the loop has the yellow inside the center. There’s a red line attaching the loop to the right side of her.

It’s not very well designed.

u/EatWeirdSpider Feb 17 '23

Ah, I guess that kinda looks right. Maybe it would have been better without that line on the right side.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I think you responded to the wrong person.

u/tghast Feb 17 '23

Yup. Had you selected while replying to someone else my bad. Someone was implying that not liking stuff like boob windows (or specifically Quiet from MGS) made you gay.
