[CylonDorado]

Whoa, she can make animals do what she wants just by yelling at them. That's pretty sweet.

@blackonyx2002 That would be so insulting to Rima the Jungle Girl, it's not even funny. xD

[blackonyx2002]

I wonder if Miss USA Rima Fakih was named after Rima the Jungle Girl.

Rima resembles an Amazonian Native American with white hair in the SF series. It seems that DC decided to stay with this ethnic group for her, according to her article in Wikipedia. Actually it makes her more interesting than a female version of Tarzan...

Rima yells like Tarzan so was obviously copied after him. for her name isn't Rima a city in Peru?
