Bangalore, Nov 2: Former Miss World and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is teaming up with Virgin Comics to create a new superhero character for comic books, animations and games.

The new content relationship makes Priyanka the first Miss World winner to create a superhero property, Virgin Comics said in a statement here.

The partnership also teams Priyanka with media company Virgin Comics, founded by Sir Richard Branson, author Deepak Chopra, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and entrepreneurs Sharad Devarajan, Gotham Chopra and Suresh Seetharaman.

"The new story, which is still being developed and currently untitled, deals with an adopted girl who discovers she has a far greater role to play as 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 statement said.

The story is expected to launch first as a comic book series in 2008.

Virgin plans to work with Priyanka to develop the story across numerous platforms including animation games and theatrical live-action film, it was stated.
