Not only is she the first pro bowler to be featured in a Marvel Comic book, but she can add to her resume being the first woman to win a PBA title, having won the Tournament of Champions yesterday in Vegas. The result is a big honkin’ trophy, a two year exemption on the PBA tour meaning she’s back on the tour next year, and a $40,000 payday.
And all I could think was, Oy, she’s got $40,000 and she’s in Vegas. This could end badly.
Seriously, this happened in Vegas, but it’s not staying there. It’s a new world and she’s the first citizen in it. So for those of you whose first exposure to her was in the pages of “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” see what can happen? (Actually, now that I think about it, Stephen Colbert showed up in FNSM before he turned up in any other Marvel Comic. I sure can pick ’em.)
