Line 29:
* Storm of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' spent part of her childhood and adolescence as a Jungle Princess; when her weather powers activated, she was also worshipped as a [[A God Am I|literal goddess]].
** The [[Marvel Universe]] also has Shanna the She-Devil. The similarity between her name and Sheena's is entirely coincidental, of course.
* An [[Author Appeal|extremely blatant fetish]] of comics artist [[Frank Cho]], who has worked on such diverse series as the above-mentioned ''[[Shanna the She-Devil]]'', ''[[Cavewoman]]'', and... ''[[Jungle Girl]]''.
* Subverted in the French comic ''[[Sillage]]'' (aka ''Wake'' in English). In the first volume the heroine Nävis (Navee) encounters a group of alien slaves who have been ordered to change the environment of her jungle planet for their masters' purposes, and ends up winning them over not because they view her as a goddess but because she possesses superior logic. {{spoiler|Unfortunately that still doesn't prevent the jungle being destroyed, and she's adopted and "civilized" by the advanced culture of the title.}}
* In the comic ''[[The Maxx]]'', Julie Winters manifests in the Outback as the Jungle Queen, the embodiment of this trope. Later, it's revealed that {{spoiler|the Outback is her subconscious, and she created the Jungle Queen in order to have control as an all-powerful goddess after having been brutally raped and beaten years ago.}}
