Past Storylines

JSA: Classified #8

Lizard-man-like cult leader The Dragon King somehow has gotten his hands on the Spear of Destiny and is using it to raise an army of super-powered teens. He uses the Spear to try to control The Flash (Jay Garrick), but Jay is able to shake off the effects due to the cult leader's inexperience with the spear. The Flash recruits Wildcat to help and the two of them go to get help from Zatanna, but at Zatanna's house they find her cat-sitter Sheri instead. When Sheri is possesed by the Spear, Wildcat knocks her out and Jay races her to the hospital; but when Jay returns he is fully possessed by the Spear and attacks Wildcat!

JSA: Classified #4

"Power Trip" part 4 of 4. The Psycho Pirate reveals Power Girl's true origin to her: that she is from someplace called Earth-2 where she is that world's Superman's cousin. Later, Psycho Pirate reveals that he's working under the orders of Lex Luthor, and Clayface shows up at Kara's apartment, looking for a fight. Continued in Infinite Crisis #2.

JSA: Classified #3

"Power Trip Part III of IV" - Power Girl seeks out Huntress to have a girl to girl chat with someone she feels is closer to her own attitude. In the meantime, the Psycho-Pirate assaults Bones (of the DEO), and Flash and Mr Terrific (of the JSA) and sets them against each other. Kara, while chatting with Huntress, is accosted by the Crime Syndicate. But Huntress can't see the CSA attacking, although she feels their attack. As Kara is even more confused by the CSA's claims, various other heroes and villains appear, all claiming to know her real origin. As she finally passes out from the stress, the Psycho-Pirate arrives. When she awakens, he tells her that she'll be happy, as she's survived when worlds died.

JSA: Classified #2

Power Girl, moping on the roof of the Daily Planet building, is visited by Jimmy Olsen, and the by the Legion of Super-Heroes, who claim that she is really a Legionnaire from the future named Andromeda.

Power Girl revels that she has a peek-a-boo hole in her costume because she cannot figure out what symbol to put there. At the end, the Psycho-Pirate is revealed to most likely be behind Power Girl's recent troubles and halucinations about her origin.

Power Trip
