Maidens of Might vs Darkseid: Rounds 1 and 2

Perhaps no single evil entity was as great a threat as was Darkseid. Both in the 20th century and a thousand years in the future, during periods when this vile villian attempted to conquer both his universe of Earth-One and that of Earth-Two, Darkseid met twin Karas.

Darkseid sought to move his planet Apokolips to  the physical space where Earth-Two resided. Now restored on his home planet of Apokolips, Darkseid and his various minions faced the combined might of the Justice League and Justice Society. This included the trio of Orion, Firestorm of the League, and Kara Zor-L aka Power Girl of the Society.  However, it was Firestorm who overpowered Darkseid, reflecting his own Omega Force back at him.

Thought destroyed when bathed in the energy of his recreation machine, Darkseid returned a thousand years later. Defeating numerous beings with greater power than he possessed, Darkseid eventually battled the Legion of Super-Heroes and their various allies. Among these was Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl, who physically matched Darkseid as to raw power, until the villian used his boom tube and pain enducing devices to stun her. But she provided the time necessary for her comrades to arrive, causing Darkseid to retreat.

Power Girl eventually had the opportunity to prove her own durability, although this was against Darkseid’s counterpart in her universe, Sulthur of Ragnarok. Although it was thanks to the entire Justice Society that this beast was defeated, her contribution was essential. Regardless of the inconclusive nature of their one-on-one confrontations, each Kara demonstrated not only her superhuman qualities as on par with the Lord of Apokolips, but more importantly the tremendous courage  of they had in the face of danger.
