10 Most Awkward Moments In DC Comics History

10. Power Girl Tries To Kill Superman - Brave And The Bold #7 (2007)

When Power Girl and Wonder Woman teamed up to fight mummies (typical Tuesday for a superhero), Diana momentarily loses her Lasso of Truth. As Power Girl finds it, the Amazonian Princess asks her what she has planned for the rest of the day.

Since a person is compelled to tell the truth while holding the lasso, Power Girl says she's heading to Superman's fortress to kill him.

Although Power Girl has been a respected superheroine for years, Wonder Woman assumes this statement must be true, since a person cannot lie while holding the Lasso.

Power Girl promises that she bears no ill will to the Man of Steel, and doesn't understand why she said she was preparing to murder him. The heroes eventually learn that Power Girl was manipulated by Doctor Alchemy with a post-hypnotic suggestion to exterminate the Last Son of Krypton.

When the duo corner Alchemy, he possesses Power Girl and flies to the Fortress of Solitude to locate Superman. As Power Girl, Alchemy immobilises the Man of Steel with Red Kryptonite; a material that distorts a Kryptonian's DNA.

After the red rock turns Superman into a... weird... inside-out dragon-thing, Wonder Woman bursts in and frees Power Girl from Alchemy's control.
