Power Girl first appeared in Nov. 1958 Superman #125, as an “imaginary story” during which a red-haired Lois Lane gains the powers of Superman through a blood transfusion. The character was later re-introduced nearly 20 years later, as Superman’s cousin, in All-Star Comics #58 in 1976, and was featured as part of various DC Comics teams and wider universe books (such as Infinity Inc., Birds of Prey and Justice League) both before and after DC Comics’ continuity-altering Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event. The character did not receive her own self-titled series until the Power Girl miniseries of 1988. Power Girl continued to feature in JLA, Superman family titles, and later Justice Society of America; a second mini-series of sorts came in the JSA Classified story arc “Power Trip” in 2005 (issues #1-4 of the series), which was collected into the trade paperback Power Girl.
