I could see Power Girl work as a character driven series (explore her early time on Earth, her start as a heroine and journey towards becoming a millionaire CEO and the JSA:s first chairwoman).
The same with Ultimate Spider-Woman. Start off with her escaping from the Jackal (I'm mixing together Ultimate and mainstream here), discovering that she's female and slowly adjusting to that and the fact that she's now attracted to boys (something that her having the memories of the heterosexual Peter Parker's memories, causes a conflict with), throughout the first 2-3 seasons. So, you'd have a coming of age story, from an original perspective. To add additional conflicts and problems, I would have the real Peter Parker be dead and a few other clones running around, some posing a threat to Peter's family and loved onces (who Jessica now has to protect, without making direct contact at first, as she's unsure if aunt May would accept her).
And then you've got Spider-Girl. Same premise: a coming of age story. And once again, I would have Peter be dead. Partly, because I wouldn't want him to overshadow the show's protagonist, but also to add conflict, problems and drama to the show. Okay, so May is 15 and starting to develop her powers. The thing for her would be to talk to someone, who's gone through the same thing, but she can't as the first candidate his dead and the second (Kaine) has little to no contact with the Parker family (as MJ would likely cut him out of their lives, once Peter's dead, as she'd find it to painfull to look at a man, who looks and sounds exactly like him) and MJ can't help her in that way (+ she's also very much against her daughter's new superhero career, having already lost Peter years ago and not wanting to bury another member of her family).
