Marvel to unveil mutant Di
Marvel Comics says Princess Diana will be reincarnated as a mutant comic book superhero this September.
The character will appear in a five-series storyline called Di Another Day in Marvel's X-Statix monthly comic, a spinoff from its popular X-Men.
Marvel spokesman Brian Reinert says the first of the comic books will go on sale on September 10.
He says Di appears as one of the team of super-powered mutants in a satirical look at fame and pop culture.
"They're more concerned about their bank accounts than saving people from injuries and saving the world," he said. X-Statix writer Peter Milligan said the late princess was "tailor-made" for the series because she is "someone famous for being famous".
"At a glance, Diana may not resemble the flying, teleporting, lethally oscillating characters that populate my comic, but the strange power she exerts from beyond the grave certainly makes her a valid subject to explore," Mr Milligan said in a statement issued by Marvel.
"And, of course, she looks great in Spandex!"
A Buckingham Palace spokesman has called the idea "utterly appalling" and a "cheap attempt to cash in on Diana's fame and the tragic circumstances surrounding her death". |
I find this very amusing. I haven't read this comic series, but from what people have said, it's supposedly very good and this idea would fit in well with it.

If I were the late, great LPrDi, I'd probably think it was pretty cool that I was getting immortalised in a comic book, and not be remembered as the cute blonde English girl with puppy fat who 'married' into 'royalty'.
I mean, what if they'd made her the T3? Oh look, a blond bombshell cyborg with big tits - I bet NOBODY saw that one coming!!!
