Wonder Man (3rd Series)

(Marvel, 2007)
™ and © 2007 Marvel Characters, Inc.

Simon Williams, movie star and super-hero, takes on a somewhat different role in this miniseries from Peter David and Andrew Currie subtitled “My Fair Superhero.” Taking the classic Pygmalion setup that’s been used in movies like My Fair Lady, Pretty Woman, and She’s All That, this series casts Wonder Man in the Henry Higgins role and new super villain Ladykiller as his Eliza Doolittle.

Joined by his buddies Hank McCoy and Carol Danvers, Simon tries to rehabilitate this dangerous assassin so that she can be a productive member of society. In a characteristic Peter David touch, a documentary crew tracks the redemption process.
