* AdaptationalVillainy: The Symbioship is sentient, and it ''hates'' Power Girl.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Issue #5 focuses on Streaky, as he defeats a gang of petnappers without PG even noticing he was gone.
* MeaningfulRename: Following on from Jon Kent suggesting the name "Paige" in her ''Action Comics'' back-up strip (since she no longer identifies with the name "Kara", associating it with the ''other'' Kara Zor-El, and always saw "Karen Starr" as a disguise more than an identity) Power Girl now has the new identity of Dr. Paige Stetler, ''Daily Planet'' tech writer.
* MythologyGag: Power Girl affectionately refers to Streaky as "Stinky", the name she eventually gave her cat in pre-''Flashpoint'' continuity.
