Jessica Alba has her Sue Storm, Jennifer Garner her Elecktra. Kirsten Dunst, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, – heck, even Ellen Page – have all had their moment in the comic book spotlight.

Maybe the best one of all, insisted “Notebook” star Rachel McAdams.
“I just read this book ‘Black Orchid’ and it’s a really interesting character,” the actress said. “She’s a superhero that’s a flower. I don’t know if that would work or the audiences would be interested in that, but she was kind of cool.”
Not just a flower, but a plant/human hybrid able to alter her appearance and voice, regenerate — even fly. And one that, although relatively unheard of, comes with a pretty recognizable comic pedigree, McAdams reminded.
“I like all the Neil Gaiman stuff. It’s great,” McAdams said of the comics god who reinvented the character with a limited series run in 1988. “I think it’s really visually so dynamic and would work really well.”
