“My powers of choice would be flying and X-ray vision.”

Mum Jenny said: “Lucy looks fab as a superhero, I’d love to get it framed and put on my living room wall.”

The cartoon was created to publicise the launch of the new video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, by artist Neil Edwards.

He said: “Drawing Lucy as a real-life superhero was brilliant. She would definitely give most supervillains a run for their money.”

Lucy is currently studying for an Open University English degree. Her 2010 calendar is now available at £7.99.
