      Did DCAU get erased in the latest Crisis On Infinite Earths animated movie or was it a similar universe? The character designs were mismatched. Batman and Joker had their BTAS models, Green Lantern his Justice League one and Hawkgirl was unmasked just like in JLU. Are you going to make a video regarding the current state of the DCAU?

    My headcanon:
    Galatea *did* survive the battle with the JLU, and her mental condition stabilized somewhat after Supergirl departed for the world of the LSH. She underwent remedial therapy and a dying Prof Hamilton asked Superman to train her as a superhero (“you said you believed in second chances, right?”). A few years with TFX, combined with training from Supes, and there’s Tea Hamilton, the DCAU Power Girl.

      @@horadetodososlegos amanda waller, telling a child soldier that killing people is the quickest and easier way to solve a problem, for "the greater good", is very fitting. Galatea was a cursed existence, everyone hated her, had nowhere to run to, no-one to help her (as they are are "evil", or they would never forgive her for the killings she did under orders from a technically legal government authority). so she does the one way mission, hoping to go out in a blaze of glory. the easy way out.
      but she loses. cadmus is destroyed... and the justice league are willing to try to help her, to allow her a chance at redemption. it's not like supes would let the government get their hands on her again, he couldn't trust them not to hand her back over to Waller (who still operates after the cadmus arc, even if her actions are more subtle, more subdued, targeted in different directions).

    I'll posit another possible answer: considering Crisis on Two Earths is semi-canon (not the movie itself, but its events are basically), that means there's still Earth-3 for them to interact with, so what if Power Girl is Earth-3's Galatea? She could have hopped over to Earth-1 for some adventures we never saw, and the public may have latched onto her because of her "personality", remembering her even if she may not have had much time in the universe.

    No one would be mad if they were to say "listen, you're asking me questions about something I worked on 20-25 years ago, I don't think I can help" or even just ourtight avoiding it because they want to distance themselves from what they were doing when they were younger.

    My headcanon was a little convoluted but what I figured would happen was Galatea would accidentally absorb Supergirl's memories completely (when the headpiece broke) and think she was literally Supergirl when she woke up, reinforced by the fact Supergirl was now absent from this time. She'd try being Supergirl for a while, do some good, eventually someone figures it out and convinces her that she's Galatea. She would have to come to terms with her past and feel undeserving of being Supergirl but also not wanting to be linked to Cadmus anymore, thus becoming Power Girl.

And I couldn’t help but laugh at the “adjacent” bit at the end 😂 Considering they both require similar amounts of assumption, though, but one is based on two different tie-in-comic series while the other just an episode of the show itself, perhaps Occam’s Razor demands the public-nickname-for-Galatea theory-or maybe the DCAU’s Power Girl is just some generic superhero with no specific backstory… 🤔

      She was twitching last we saw of her. Meaning she’s still alive enough to be moving unless it’s a post-mortem spasm.
      As for her disappearance after her final appearance? We’ll have to assume that there were a lot more adventures happening during the gap between JLU S2 & S3 and the gaps between the episodes of S3 where she might have been involved. Same with Firestorm and other notable absent heroes.
      The Patriot Act does have Leaguers we never seen before or after the episode. It’s not outside of the realm of possibility to assume she not only survived but lived to become a member of the JLU roster. Perhaps apart of a version of the black ops JL Elite or simply doing her thing offscreen the entire time.
