She was a superhero's girlfriend in Krrish [Images], and now Priyanka Chopra [Images] is set to create her own!

The actress has teamed up with Virgin Comics to create a new superhero character for comic books, animation and games.

'I love cartoons and animation, so being able to create my own original superhero with Virgin's amazing group of artists and storytellers is a dream come true. I hope it will capture the imagination of a new generation of Indian youth,' an excited Priyanka said of the venture.

The superhero in question is an adopted girl who discovers she is the latest in a line of princesses with great mystical power and a sworn duty to take down evil wherever it lurks.

The currently untitled story is expected to be launched first as a comic book series in 2008 and later as animation games and theatrical live-action film.

Incidentally, Priyanka will be seen next in a film called Drona, where she plays bodyguard to Abhishek Bachchan [Images], reportedly a superhero.
