Hollywood is set to have its first-ever plus-sized comic book hero, breaking all the usual women-must-be-model-thin stereotypes.
Faith Herbert, AKA Zephyr, has the usual comic book back story - losing her parents at a young age she is raised by her grandmother, and finds happiness in comic books and science fiction.
In the comic series, Faith is approached by the 'Harbinger Foundation' - a team of sub-species humans with evolved psychic/mind-based powers - which is when her own powers are revealed.
She learns she can fly, and while fighting she can carry items telekinetically. More recently she has learnt how to fashion items for shielding and manipulate internal mechanisms such as unlocking doors.

Faith Herbert made her first appearance in the Valiant Comics as part of the Harbinger team in 1992, and was voted one of the best new comics in 2006 by Vox, Nerdist and Uproxx.
