The Long Con

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle

Sawyer calls Kate Sheena in The Long Con:


Quote:

SAWYER: You couldn't get away. You versus Sun -- hot oil death match -- my money's on you, Sheena.

More than likely a reference to Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.


Sawyer  also calls Alex 'Sheena' in Not in Portland

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle is a jungle-dwelling comic book chararacter, published originally by Fiction House. Lithe, athletic, and clad in skimpy leopard skin, and barefoot, she possessed the ability to communicate with the wild animals she had grown up with since being orphaned in the jungle. Her diet was based on bananas and various fruits and nuts, giving her the needed figure and strength to fight battles. She was fiercely proficient in fighting with knives, spears, bow-slinging, or improvising with makeshift weapons. Her primary ability was to surprise her opponents, either human or animal. She could also withstand a surprise attack of any kind.

She was the first female comic-book character with her own title, with her Spring 1942 premiere beating Wonder Woman #1 (Summer 1942) by three months.
