If it happens when she's asleep, it could allow her to escape from things without knowing how she escaped.
If it happens when she's afraid, we'd have to assume she isn't usually ever afraid.
If it happens when she's turned on wouldn't work, because she's meant to be pure-minded.

Another thought is that her breasts are a curse from a villain years ago that didn't start kicking in right away. Maybe she's as busty as all of the other girl sidekicks combined. She gets bigger whenever there's a new female sidekick. Maybe there's a bunch at once or something, although it wouldn't allow for a reason for her to turn back.

I think you're overthinking it. Remember, she's a late-Golden Age/early-Silver Age comic book character. There's a wealth of goofy plot devices you can draw from.

And again, you could always just have it happen in a dream, reflecting her anxieties about her chest.

Just thinking of possible triggers:

The Lush - she changes when she ingests alcohol.

The Nocturnal - she changes when in the dark (or blindfolded).

The Magui - she changes under light of a particular type or strength.

The Multiple Gal - she absorbs impacts by converting it to mass changes.

The Superstitious - she changes with encountering a superstition (breaks a mirror, spills milk or salt, walks under ladder, steps on crack, no. 13, etc).

Maybe it's too obvious, but some take on Kryptonite seems like it would be on theme.

The only down-side to a Kryptonite approach is that, like that fictitious rare mineral, any one thing that is the trigger, unless very common, would be rather easy to avoid.

That is why common triggers such as water, alcohol, chocolate, milk, etc. fit in to building up a believable story scenario. Make the trigger too rare and just having the thing around stretches credulity. Like every time Superman amazingly ran into his green, or red, or yellow Achilles heel.

Say she reacts to Nickle. Well, you can just avoid it... just like any metal allergy.


Well, you could just invent a mineral, say... like... Boobonium which just happens to be the combination of very common items.

Why not tie it into the comics code idea and have every time she does something she shouldn't- such as curse- she expands. The more extreme her danger, the more extreme her reaction, and therefore the more extreme her bust.
Think of it as if every time Robin actually said to Batman, "Holy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tions_by_Robin) Batman!" She would actually use a more creative and pure expletive and therefore be "punished" by the comics code with a bustline to rival Pinocchio's nose.

SaburoX drew one fairly recently where it's implied she's still growing: http://the-collection.booru.org/inde...=view&id=45194

That was a result of anons mentioning how he'd been drawing her noticeably larger unintentionally as time went on. I think it has everything to do with the size of which 47K/MDF draws her, but SaburoX mentioned otherwise, stating that he (SaburoX) isn't very consistent with staying on-model.

I, for one, welcome this recent Development.

So he did the opposite of Power Girls author, and it wasn't intentional? XD

Bill Keane who originated the comic Family Circus did the same expansion over time to the mom character Thelma. After feeling it was getting out of hand he dropped her back to her smallest. Now that his son is working the comic, she has expanded back up to largest ever.

She's back and slightly bigger from the looks of it!

Ended up doing a commission with Godalmite.

Recently did a joint effort with him where he did the line art and I coloured the pages.
