I never thought much about her boob window being a problem. I did appreciate it a few times in private, but never really thought it degraded her or made her stories less powerful or important. Only that she happened to be a character who deserved respect -and- was the pinnacle of physical attractiveness.

@@aarqon That's a specious argument. Biological sexual attraction is largely based on one's genetic fitness to create successful offspring. For men, that generally means a woman who can safely bear children (large pelvic girdle) and feed them (large breasts suggest this, although breast size does not have anything to do with lactation production). For women, powerful forms and physical fitness are the thing. So, yes, while over-muscled hero design does play into power fantasies, those power fantasies are, in part, based on a perception of the biological reality of being attractive to the opposite sex. (Mind you, this is the purely biological aspect. Psychology plays a huge role in the whole picture.)

I think Power Girl should be kept the way she is, as a kind of tribute to Wally Wood; as well as all the other writers, and artists- in all genres, whose work often goes under-appreciated by the people at the top. Wally Wood sounds like a really interesting person; it’s such a tragedy that he felt compelled to commit suicide, thinking he had wasted his life; that nothing he had done in his career even mattered, with him actually seeming to regret his decision to work in the comic book industry, saying: “If I had it all to do over again, I’d cut off my hands.” It’s so sad that he felt that way, despite his work still receiving recognition, and acclaim, many decades after his death; which is why I think all his contributions to comics, even petty ones like the size of Power Girl’s breasts, should be kept, as a kind of monument (and what a mon- no, I won’t go there haha) to all those who feel their life’s work has been meaningless. It shows that, even if you see no point in your own work- for whatever reason; it doesn’t mean there was actually no point to what you did. But that’s just my opinion; others are available...they’re wrong, obviously, but they’re available nonetheless 😉 haha.

The breast window started because of sexism, but what we are left with is a design that highlights the very sexism that caused it. Like, second wave feminism says "close the window, you are not an object for men's desires and dressing this way empowers them to view you as less than a person", third wave says "dress how you want, the reactions to your dress are proof of progress versus chauvinism." Both are right, both are wrong, and so you are left with Power Girl in the middle, she has the strength to dress however the fuck she wants, and should not be shamed out of it, but for as long as she dresses that way she will in part be putting her objectification at the literal core of her character. To me I think that this is kinda the perfect inherent contradiction for a character arc. That "I don't have a symbol of my own" line strikes home, even if it was just a scape goat of the time. Power girl closing the boob window HAS to be a character driven moment for her, SHE has to choose to close it or choose to not close it, and live with the consequences of her decision. The artist doesn't get the right to take that choice away from her, they just have to find a version of her that would close the boob window or find a believable version that would not. I like the boob window, but see it more as an opportunity to develop a complex character than as a unquestionable "must have" of her character design.

@@mitchryan257 I mean, there's a weird dichotomy with anything sexual that women wear. If we dress sexy for ourselves, that's all fine and good, but who defines what looks sexy? The men who set fashion trends behind the scenes? The male gaze? What does "sexy" look like through the feminine gaze? Can we ever separate our male-centric idea of sexiness to figure out what a wholly female-centric idea would be? Is sexiness even about pleasing ourselves, or is there always some part of it that will be construed as pleasing others?

You know well, I'm 57 grew up with Power Girl and never thought about it. Look at what they did with Sue Richards in the alternate costume book which was right before Jonny's Supernova event. Both those books sold multiple prints. All the boy's including my son were all over the F4 costume. Hey always been Pro Window. It's like with Wonder Woman, Bigger and Bigger until, how in gods name do those things stay in? She use sticky Tape, Gorilla Tape? Seriously. Look at Supergirl now, just a Girl. Not saying that's bad just wholsome. Women have always been worshipped in Comic Books. It's just the way it is now and sadly with prices as horrible as they are kids today can't even buy more than a book or two these days. It's people like me who barely keep the books going. Everything is on the Big Screen now. Kids see it all there. Not like I did in the age of 10 cent books. Kinda miss that stuff. Being 57 sucks sometimes.

That's actually one of the things she ends up saying to Superman at one point. I think he's reminding her she's has every right to the S symbol that she does. I wish they would constantly keep that her on even if they don't ever cover up the window. I always liked the conversation she has with Superman regarding this and how she's willing to show her vulnerability in front of him. I've never had a problem with the hole or that her breast were large. That said some could draw them way to big to the point it's even even remotely funny or interesting. What's bothered me in the past is her not having the symbol or being recognized as Kryptonian. I was really happy when that got fixed and they fully recognized her as an alternate Supergirl that she is.

Power Girl or Power Woman? I would see her having a problem with flying. The chest window isn't very aerodynamic. One could imagine it acting like the intake manifold of a jumbo jet. When she flies it must get airflow through her cleavage where the faster she flies, might cause a high-pitched whistling or a violent flapping vibration. How about the things that might get caught in her cleavage like flying debris, bugs, and birds. She's (bullet) proof like Superman right? The ricochet patterns would be very unpredictable or is it going to be like a shooting range where the bullets hit her chest, flatten out into discs, and slide into her cleavage window? I think I remembered Wonder Woman saying that she didn't have enough Golden Lasso to wrap around Power Woman to get her to tell the truth about where she came from. A lot of male villains forgot she has heat vision because they never looked up past a certain point.

As an artist of some skill myself, if people criticize my work simply because they don't like its theme, mood, style, etc. I will just do more of the same! Perhaps it will cause them to have a brain aneurysm! If so, it is because they chose to worry too much over something trivial! Triviality, is what drives them, rather than reality! The truth is, no one has the right to tell a free minded artist what he or she can and cannot do. I work from my own imagination to create pieces that are unique. I don't do cookie cutter art! To me the best tool of a true artist is imagination. That has never went hand in hand with conformity, and so I will not do so either!

@sos sos When you draw a person for a comic, you can't use completely realistic dimensions. It doesn't look right on the page. They tend to look short and fat if you do. So you have to adjust the dimensions to compensate. You have to make them taller and more slender than normal to make them look right in the drawing. This is also fantasy vs real life. Which pushes things even more in that direction. If you want realism, put down the comic and go outside. There are plenty of realistic looking people walking around. But that's not what people read comics or watch movies for.

The second explanation for why there’s a boob window is so laughably bad when the first one isn’t really bad. I have a friend who’s pretty busty and has always been super self conscious about it, which is why she loves Power Girl so much as she can see herself reflected in her, just like how other people can see parts of their physicality in other characters (I confess that Nightwing means a lot to me mostly because I’m a guy who’s always been self conscious about his big ass, lol). Ultimately, I think redesigning Power Girl so that she’s no longer busty results in more being taken away than there is to be gained.

I personally believe there's good sexualization and bad sexualization, it all depends on the character and the context of the story. Power Girl's boob window does play a role on her character and appeal, she knows she's busty and that makes her feel confident. It also contributes to the whole narrative of the JSA and the generational gap between superheroes, as the original members were all white men while their new sucessors had a lot of diversity, most of them were female and there were different races and sexualities. Power Girl choosing to be sexually appealing despite being the sucessor of the boy scout Superman, primary superhero in the old conservative world, shows how much she's willing to differentiate herself from her predecessor and how society has changed and it's more accepting and liberal.

Personally, I think Power Girl's costume is boring. It's just a plain white swimsuit with a red cape. So a revamp could be nice. There are women who got big boobs (although that quote wrong, big boobs don't necessarily mean healthy 'cause there can be back probs, etc.). I'm not a fan of how they present her boobs as if they're more important than her face (which is often masterfully drawn with great expression!) I think I'd be cooler with the boob window if more comic guys got the logically ridiculous costume too but as it stands most are covered up from neck to toe in armor. Double standards are stupid and insulting. Like a friend once said to me, it'd be more equal if everyone got the sexy costume makeover!
