Power Girl Vs Mon-El

Thing is, unlike with certain other characters (WW, or on a "mortal" level, Batman), Karen never demonstrates any particular combat prowess/finesse; that is, she certainly has combat experience, without a doubt, but she really is more of a "duke-it-out/punch'em-up"-fighter than even many examples of SM. WW, in contrast, edges a number of physically comparable beings by having considerable combat skill/finesse; PG primarily "will-power's" her way through many of her "comparable" battles, duking it out and simply refusing to go down. And that is certainly nothing to sneeze at. But that is only going to go so far with someone who's power matches and possibly exceeds her's (even if, arguably, only marginally).

To put it another way: if it boiled down to "who's the bigger bytch?", then PG will break out the whoop-ass on Mon-El, and that is where she gets her wins; however, on the flip side of the coin, Mon-El isn't going to go down "like a bytch", either, so....

Current Mon isn't much of a fighter. Powergirl shows more skill now.

Yes...

*BUT*

She doesn't show any *marked* emphasis in skill that would make a definitive difference (hence, why I referred to WW as an example). Is she a nominally more skilled fighter than she was in previous decades? Sure. But not to any *major* degree. And while Mon-El isn't particularly skilled (again, speaking in relative terms/degrees), his (arguable) edge in physical power compensates for her (again, relative) edge in combat experience.

Again, not saying he wins by a stomp (as some have posted), but just that he likely takes a marginal majority... unless, of course, Karen really kicks into mega-bytch mode... but like I said: that's where her wins would likely come from.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, pretty much.

Karen hasn't demonstrated *such* a degree of relative combat skill to make *that* much of a difference. Now, if she had Diana's skills (or even Kory's), then that would make more of a difference. But otherwise, her relative experience is what helps mitigate his (again, re-stressing, *arguable*) edge in overall power.

I'm tired.

In any case there's little basis to support him having any noticeable advantage in power over her in the first place that I can see.

Well, again, we're getting to narrow margins here.

PG, SM, WW, Mon-EL, SG, MM, CM, and similar, are all in the same relative class of raw physical power; however, if you start refining things further, then of course each has their advantages/disadvantages. As it stands, from what I have read/seen, PG has the experience/bytch-factor advantage, but Mon-El, much like SM, is likely edging her in physical power, and as their powersets are identical (without the differences notable in such relative fights as PG vs. WW, both the one they had this past year, and back in '07), his physical edge is *just* above her relative experience edge, as while Karen is certainly as relatively determined/brave as WW or Starfire, she doesn't have their level of combat skill/finesse, which is what she'd need to really make consistant, majority wins in this case.

Mon el has over 1000 years of training and experience in the Phantom zone with his powers
Power girl is not more experienced then him. As far as strength goes back in the pre crisis series he was compared to superboy with superboy having the edge. Now in post crisis Legion hes supposed to be an equal to Supes.

If that happened it was probably early Post Crisis where I'd say Daxamites were superior to Kryptonians.

Yeah you are right RoO. I just checked the scans, most definitely pre crisis. Oh well 🙁
