Synopsis for "Power Crush"
At Blackgate Penitentiary, Da Bomb works out in his cell. He thinks to himself how he has to stay sharp. He is preparing to reunite with Power Girl, who he has photos and newspaper clippings of plastered around his prison cell.
Da Bomb meets with his prison psychiatrist. He's asked how he can be in love with Power Girl when he hasn't even met her. He reveals he has loosened the inhibitors that have suppressed his powers and explodes. He emerges from the wreckage and leaves on a quest to find the love of his life.
Meanwhile at Central Park, Power Girl arrives at a ceremony to discuss her foundation and the charity work it is performing. Force arrives and prepares to attack Power Girl. However, Da Bomb flies in and takes out the Force. He offers his love and devotion to Power Girl and reminds her of a moment the two had where they had locked eyes at a charity ball game. Power Girl informs him they didn't share a moment. When Da Bomb pushes forward for a kiss, Power Girl punches him across the park. The two engage in a playful fight where Da Bomb continually fights for her affection while Power Girl flippantly rejects him. Eventually Power Girl subdues Da Bomb.
Later, Power Girl tells Hawkgirl and Stargirl about the events. She tells them she may be brash and forward, but she refuses to play second fiddle to any man.
At Blackgate, Da Bomb continues to workout with plans to woo Power Girl upon his next release.
