When Asylum USA asked adult film actress Sasha Grey to pose as Wonder Woman, they had a hunch she was into comics. After all, her MySpace page TV interests list includes "almost anything on Adult Swim" and "South Park." They just didn't realise how much. Grey is planning a graphic novel (insert your "graphic" joke here) and lists "Watchmen," "Sandman," "Ghost World" and "American Splendor" as her favorites.
Long before she was known for her on-screen bongo abilities, Grey was dreaming about the rock-'em, sock-'em action of Spawn, Hellblazer, Batman and the X-Men.
"I guess they're a bit fitting for my generation, and I easily gravitated toward them," she explains. "And they are all badasses!"

Fans of her star turn in "Star Trek XXX" are surely wondering why this hero of hardcore hasn't already brought ink to the adult world. Asked if she could portray any superhero, she suggests "Rorschach" -- the Watchmen's man with a morphing inkblot face who's unwavering in moral certitude.
Preferred special power? "Most likely mind control. Second choice would be invisibility."
Of course, those dream powers connect nicely to Wonder Woman, who uses her lasso of truth to get villains to fess up and her invisible plane to jet set without any chance of being tracked.
It's times like this we want to sulk, and not speak to Asylum USA for a bit. But we can't stay mad at them!
