I was reading through some of the Wikipedia superhero entries when I stumbled upon Ultra Girl’s:

Suzy Sherman is raised by her father Toby Sherman, and her mother. In her teen years, Suzy is an aspiring model in Southern California. Attempting to make it as the industry-standard slim, “elfin beauty,” she is shocked to find that, in a few days’ time, she has grown inches taller, rapidly acquired the muscle mass and physique of the average female bodybuilder, and even more shockingly discovers via a violent encounter that this physical transformation comes with accompanying superpowers.

Ultra Girl is superhumanly strong, capable of lifting multiple tons, and is highly resistant to physical injury. She is also superhumanly fast, and can move at velocities approaching the speed of sound, and she heals at an accelerated rate. Ultra Girl can also fly at great speeds. Ultra Girl can alter her vision to see in other wavelengths of energy (besides visible light), such as infrared and ultraviolet. Her powers have vaguely activated in relation to what’s been required for the situation, but it is unknown if this is a case of reactive evolution, or simply a process of discovery.

Geez, that’s hot! Of course the best part of the comic was when she encountered her sometimes-boyfriend – a skinny nerd boy type – and her arms are drawn thick and powerful while his are but puny pipestems. Hot, hot, hot!
