Hell, it could be argued that the Ur-Magical Girl is Mary Marvel, circa 1949ish. Yeah, they're allies because the source materials all share common roots, and if they hadn't started their own faction from the start, they would have been a major power bloc -- maybe the dominant one -- within the Supers. The Supers recognize this, too, and especially since both had their first toeholds in space on the Moon they more or less automatically offered the hand of friendship -- without even the obligatory "beat-each-other-up-over-a-misunderstanding" first!
Well, actually the hardcases on both sides insisted on the traditional "befriending-each-other-into-the-ground", so they held one after formalizing the alliance. It was a for-fun head-to-head featuring the best fighter each side had at the time -- a fistfight with padded gloves, preceded by a scripted sketch that "justified" the "misunderstanding" leading to the battle in such an extremely overwritten, over-the-top manner that it left the entire arena roaring with laughter.
The actual fight was to first blood, and took all of five minutes. The rest of the night was a party celebrating the alliance.
