*Marvel Comics and espnW are giving Serena Williams, Simone Biles and Misty Copeland a superhero makeover with reimagining them as comic book characters.
The transformation is part of an effort to honor the top 25 sport influencers who have made the biggest impact for women in the last year, Essence reports, citing an announcement made by ESPN.
Despite not achieving a calendar grand slam year, Williams’ season on the tennis court was a stellar one, with ESPN noting that, “”she is the only player to rank in the WTA top 10 in wins on clay, grass, and hard courts.”
History also marks Copeland’s career this year, in light of her being named principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. The honor marks Copeland as the first African American ballerina in the Theatre’s history to achieve such an accomplishment.
