The origin

Suzy Sherman was a California teenager with a modelling career in mind when, over a few days, her body changed: stronger, faster, and then airborne. The explanation, when it came, was that she was not human at all. She was Kree, born Tsu-Zana, a warrior of the alien empire that runs through Marvel's cosmic stories, and the new abilities were her inheritance: flight, superhuman strength, vision across the spectrum and a body that heals itself.

In print

Barbara Kesel wrote and Leonard Kirk drew her own series, Ultragirl #1 to #3, cover-dated November 1996 to March 1997. A decade on she was back in Civil War #5 (November 2006) with Captain America's Secret Avengers, then in Avengers: The Initiative from issue #6 (November 2007), the training programme for registered heroes, where she and Thor Girl were posted to Georgia. Carol Danvers, impressed, handed her the old Ms. Marvel costume; the Avengers' ownership of the design meant she had to give it back. After saving Justice from Ragnarok she left the Initiative for his New Warriors.
