Diane Whiteside The Northern Devil

is a fictional jungle adventuress in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by writers Carole Seuling and Steve Gerber and penciler George Tuska, she made her first appearance in . This initial series ran five issues (Dec. 1972 - Aug. 1973). After starring in several solo features and backup stories, a blond, alternate-universe version of the character starred in the seven-issue miniseries (April-Oct. 2005), written and drawn by Frank Cho. This Shanna is the result of a genetic experiment and she also has superhuman strength and agility. One member of a scientific expedition that encountered her named her Shanna after the "comic book character." The series was originally scheduled for release under Marvel's "mature readers" MAX imprint, but was reworked, with Cho eliminating the nudity before publication. It ran with a "PSR+" rating through issue #4, and a "Parental Advisory" rating afterward. Thereafter a four-issue sequel miniseries, (Oct. 2007 - Jan. 2008) by writers Justin Gray and James Palmiotti and penciler Khari Evans, featured this same alternate version of Shanna. These latter two alternate-universe versions comprise this post.
