Painkiller Jane Coming to Small Screen
The femme fatale with self-healing powers will be on the Sci Fi Channel.
Painkiller Jane, an Event Comic character created by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, will be the Sci Fi Channel's first original super-hero film based on a comic book character.
A two-hour pilot will be made in conjunction with NBC Universal TV Studios and MGM TV, Variety says. The trade adds that the story is "about a young Marine officer who is exposed to a biochemical weapon that endows her with self-healing powers.
"Jane is forced to work covertly, fighting crime while running from military and medical officials who would exploit her gifts. Along the way she will meet up with a disparate group of outsiders who become her surrogate family," Variety said.
Look for it this upcoming summer.
