We wanted to be like our favorite Science Fiction Models and pretended to be the strong, courageous heroines in our lives at the time. Read on to find out information about Science fiction and Comic Book Models of the past and present.
The Bionic Woman was one of the most popular Science Fiction models in the 70’s. Jaime Sommers (Lindsey Wagner) was a professional tennis player who was almost killed in a skydiving accident. She was re-built using bionic technology by Dr. Rudy Wells and Oscar Goldman, who also re-built the Six Million Dollar Man, Steve Austin. Resulting from her surgical bionic implementation she had amplified hearing, enormous right arm strength and her legs where enhanced with strength and speed. She could out run a speeding car. This was one of the great TV shows, especially for younger girls.

The Fembots where villainess Science Fiction models whom the Bionic Woman battled. Fembots were powerful life-like androids. They had sophisticated programming that helped them pass for humans in most cases. Many times their face mask would become dislodged to reveal their circuitry and facial mechanism, showing the classic image of the inhuman menace. When in battle against the Bionic Woman their operators could increase their strength to make them more foes that are formidable.

Wonder Woman is one of the classic Comic Books models. She is a fictional DC Comics super heroine co-created by William Moulton Marston and his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston. Wonder Woman was among the first and one of the most famous Comic Book models. She is Princess Diana of an Amazon tribe of warriors. She was Amazon Ambassador to the larger world. The Gods of Olympus gave her many gifts that included The Lasso of Truth, Silver Bracelets that shield from bullets or projectiles, super strength and increased stamina. Her stamina affords her incredible resistance to blunt force trauma, but her skin is not indestructible, it can be punctured or injured by sharp projectiles such as arrows or bullets. Wonder Woman does have the gift of constantly renewing herself, which allows her to heal quickly from her injuries or illnesses.

One of Marvel Comics Science Fiction models, associated with the X-men is the beautiful and mysterious Mystique. She is a mutant shape-shifter whose natural appearance includes yellow eyes and blue skin. She is nearly a century old. Mystique is the biological Mother to Nightcrawler and the foster mother to Rogue. She abandoned Nightcrawler but raised Rogue for a number of years, now they have a strained and confusing relationship. Mystique has been a villain throughout most of her history. She leads the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The film version Rebecca Romijn plays mystique perfectly and beautifully.

Rogue of the X-men is another one of the popular Science Fiction models from the X-men series. She was a runaway from the rural town of Caldecott County, Mississippi. She lived alone in a wooded area and trusted no one that is where Mystique found her. Rogue considers her powers more of a curse than a gift. Involuntarily, she absorbs the strengths, memories and in Mutant cases, their abilities and powers just by physical contact. Therefore, she cannot have any physical contact with any one. Her Mutant powers include super human-strength, invulnerability (to most forms of physical harm), flight, resistance to telepathy and a pre-cognitive sixth sense. Anna Paquin played her marvelously in the X-Men movies and we found out her first name was Marie.
