After debuting 67 years ago, the home base older generations grew to love has fallen.

Fear not, as Power Girl #17 by Leah Williams and David Baldeón ensures that future generations of readers will not be without a Fortress of Solitude. Power Girl and her amazing friends - romantic partner Axel Gust - have refurbished a warehouse into a tall sanctuary reminiscent to the Fortress, serving the same purpose for Power Girl in Metropolis instead of the Arctic.

How Power Girl Created Her New, Fortress-Like Home Base

The previous issue saw Power Girl wrap up her feud and arc against she rebranded as Paige Stetler) to invest in this building, turning it into a pet project for her and her friends to reinvigorate into something new.

The Fortress of Solitude comparison comes from more than similar exteriors between the two bases.

In this issue, Power Girl and all her closest allies contribute to the remodeling of the building. Power Girl's Asgardian boyfriend brings the magic Mars Bell from the House of God-Thought, which can be best described as a premonition-based security alarm, one that warns the homeowners if someone enters the headquarters with murderous intent. Steel, Paige, and Omen use their powers to carry new pieces of steel s, building them onto the remains of the abandoned building. Paige's Daily Planet co-worker, Mariposa, also helps. The final result is, as Power Girl calls it, the Star.

The Star Puts a New Spin on the Fortress of Solitude

A Modern Twist on a Classic Superman Concept

The Fortress of Solitude comparison comes from more than similar exteriors between the two bases. The Star promises to be just as much of a solace for the heroes living in it as it has been for Superman over the course of six decades. What makes the Star feel fresh is its origins. The Star was originally a tattered, worn down battlefield of destruction where one of Power Girl's key ing players and the title character's best friend was seriously hurt. The heroes find a way to turn bad "omens" on their head, turning a place of tragedy into a safe space for hope.

Omen reclaims her agency by repurposing the environment that nearly killed her. In one of the s, Omen is seen planting seeds in the Star's forest courtyard, reiterating how she and her friends are literally planting seeds of a new life where she almost lost hers. It's all the more poetic knowing that this issue marks the beginning of a new storyline for Power Girl, as well as the return of the character's classic costume. What's old is new again, and Superman would be proud to see his alternate universe cousin, Power Girl, rebuild a refuge like this from the ground-up.

Power Girl #17 is available now from DC Comics.
