DC and CW Network are putting into development a pulp comics created hero from 1939 that nobody even remembers called The Avenger. I suppose if we can't have Wonder Woman we can have...uh... this one??
"in the wake of her parents’ murder, discovers she possesses a superpower as a result of genetic bio-hacking which allows her to transform her appearance at will. [Its] an updated Biopunk version of The Avenger [1939]"

Upon reading the backstory of the character I have discovered that the ORIGINAL character was a man named Richard Benson who is avenging the death of his wife and daughter.
The CW series would be a bit of a reversal in that it's the daughter, Alice, who's the hero instead. Also, that superheromovienews article says the character was created by Jack Kirby. He wasn't...the only involvement he was in was being a penciler for a couple issues of the 1975 revival...
