Versions of Power Girl have appeared in the television series Smallville (portrayed by actress Lindsay Harrison) and the Justice League Unlimited cartoon (voiced by actress Nicholle Tom). Actresses Nicole Sullivan and Allison Mack have each voiced Power Girl in other animated projects.
The heroine first appeared in the pages of All-Star Comics #58 (1976).
