Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel) is a character appearing in DC Comics & Warner Brothers (DC Comics) Movies. She was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for Batman: The Animated Series as a henchwoman for the Joker, and debuted in its 22nd episode, "Joker's Favor", on September 11, 1992. Harley Quinn was depicted as strictly the sidekick and lover of the Joker as well as the criminal associate and best friend of Poison Ivy (Poison Ivy is shown kissing Harley Quinn multiple times throughout the 2nd ongoing series, and a sexual relationship between them was alluded to and later confirmed by the writing team of Conner & Palmiotti). Because of her popularity in the Batman: the Animated Series, Harley Quinn was adapted into DC's comic books (Batman: The Animated Series #12) in September 1993. This being one year following Harley Quinn's first appearance in Batman: The Animated Series. Later being ushered into the mainstream DC Universe with the 1999 one-shot graphic novel Batman: Harley Quinn, written by Dini and illustrated by Yvel Guichet. DC Comics' made a company-wide reboot launching The New 52 reintroducing Quinn in the rebooted Suicide Squad title. In doing so, DC tweaked the character's personality, design, and origin, replacing her original jester costume with a much more revealing ensemble and depicting her to be darker and quite a bit crazier than her initial persona. Her abilities include expert gymnastic skills, proficiency in weapons and hand-to-hand combat, complete unpredictability (she's CRAZY), immunity to toxins, and enhanced strength, agility, and durability. Quinn often wields clown-themed gag weapons, with an oversized mallet being her signature weapon. Additionally, she has a pair of pet hyenas, Bud and Lou (from the comedy duo of Abbot & Costello), who sometimes serve as her attack dogs.
Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti took a lighthearted and humorous direction when taking her on a second ongoing series in 2013; featuring the character moving to her hometown of Brooklyn and starting her own life in Coney Island. The character has since been depicted as more of an antihero than a villian teaming up with the likes of Power Girl.
Power Girl (Kara Zor-L aka Karen Starr) is a superheroine 1st appearing in DC Comics' All Star Comics #58 (January/February 1976); the cousin of the Earth-2 Superman. Earth-2 is an alternate universe in the fictional DC Comics multiverse. This universe (Earth-2) was first envisioned as the home of DC's wartime heroes as published in 1940s comic books; Power Girl becomes stranded in the main DC universe of Earth-1 and becomes acquainted with that world's Superman and her own counterpart, Supergirl. She (Power Girl) and Supergirl are biologically the same person; however, there are VAST differences between the two. Power Girl is much older and as such has a more curvaceous and voluptuous figure, with her most notable feature among fans being her large breasts. Wally Wood's original artwork (1976) showed her as relatively busty but otherwise she conformed in appearance in figure and build to other contemporary comic book women. Dinah Lance (Black Canary) describes her assets as a "national treasure" (Wonder Woman (vol. 3) #34 (2009)) written by Gail Simone. Her most common outfit is a red cape and belt, blue gloves and boots a leg-baring, figure-hugging, long-sleeved white leotard sporting a circular cleavage-exposing cut-out on her chest (its variable size and shape determined by the artist depicting her) her classic costume design from All-Star Comics #58 (be aware, however, Power Girl's costume design has varied greatly over the years). Artists Bart Sears portrayed her as having a highly athletic but slender physique (Justice League Europe series), it was Alex Ross (Kingdom Come mini-series) who restored Power Girl's well-endowed shape also rendering her as a heavily muscled Power Woman (ie an ardent bodybuilder). The character is consistently depicted as a large breasted young woman, and her physique is one of her most recognizable attributes – to the extent that various writers have acknowledged it in both serious and humorous ways. According to character writer Jimmy Palmiotti
"Okay. When the character was created, Wally Wood was the artist that drew Power Girl, and he was convinced that the editors were not paying attention to anything he did. So, his inker said "Every issue, I'm going to draw the tits bigger until they notice it. It took about seven or eight issues before anyone was like, "Hey, what's with the tits?" And that's where they stopped. True story."
Compared to Supergirl she is more level-headed due to her maturity, and her fighting style is more aggressive. She also adopts a different secret identity from her counterpart. These changes are reflected in their differing costumes and superhero names as well reflecting that she chooses not to be seen as a derivative of Superman, but rather her own hero! This choice is reflected in the strong independent attitude of the character.
