    Okies,

    So this is a t.v series that is on NBC and one of the characters, Nikki Sanders, has an alter-ego that she does not really know about.

    Other than her dark demeanor, she also exhibits superstrength as she rips her victims in half, literally.

    They released a graphic novel about her when she peeled open a safe like as though as if she was peeling a banana.

    Here is the link…http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_006.shtml

    Oh, sorry but I cannot get the exact image of it, but just scroll through the comic book and you'll see it.

    Moreover, as we learned this past Monday, her violence-prone alt-personality is named Jessica . . . though I think it would have been too much of us to expect her (as a tip of the hat reference to the Savage She-Hulk, which is the obvious inspiration for the character) to have said Jennifer . . .  😉

    I can't believe I blanked on that…I'd been thinking of her split-persona as imitating Two-Face all this time (although the super-strength wasn't definitively shown until the last episode or two).  I suppose I might've caught on to the She-Hulk reference if she changed colors… :-

    Uh, there WASN'T a She-Hulk reference. AlexG was being wistful about the lost opportunity… – unless I misunderstood. To be honest, I don't really think that She-Hulk is the inspiration for this character… mainly because She-Hulk never REALLY had genuine dissociative identity disorder, the DC character Rose/Thorn is probably a much better analogy.

    You got me right on that score, PT – but you've got to admit, if only her eyes took on that electric green glow and they threw in a FMG scene (w/o a complexion change), even a fitness one on the level of Kim Lyons . . .  😉

    Oh what a wonderful world it would be . . .  ;D

    ". . . mainly because She-Hulk never REALLY had genuine dissociative identity disorder . . ."

    On that I agree with you – despite the earnest desires of certain members of the on-line fanboy base who might wish otherwise, she's never had her cousin's split personality problem.  In addition, before someone raises it, in the Search for the She-Hulk storyline, that was still Jennifer, if but in a mentally repressed mode rather then being a wholly separate personality as is the case with the Hulk.

    ". . . the DC character Rose/Thorn is probably a much better analogy."

    Could be – or even a composite of several TFing female characters as inspiration, but they'll never be too obvious about it, or they run the risk of Marvel, DC, etc going after them for copyright infringements.

    Even so, IMHO naming her Jessica was just too much of a **wink wink** – as they could just as easily given her some other name.
