Synopsis:

Power Girl has an admirer, Da'Bomb, a reasonably powerful metahuman who has just broken out of jail in order to catch up to her and begin the relationship he knows they are destined for - so destined that he even wears Power Girl underwear. She isn't having any of it, and defeats him after a drawn out battle. Later she tells her female team-mates about how she believes her reputation for being brash would not exist if she was male (men are expected to be brash and headstrong), but she refuses to sit back, she'll just do what she does and let people take it as they will.
