Dejah Thoris

The Marvel version of Dejah Thoris

Dejah Thoris is the beautiful princess of Helium, the great city-state of an empire on the planet Mars, as depicted in Edgar Rice Burroughs' series of classic sci-fi/fantasy novels (adapted into comic book form by Marvel). Dejah meets the adventurer John Carter, an Earthman who is mystically transported to Mars, and soon becomes his love interest and later his wife. Being a member of the Martian race she has great longevity and is capable of living for over 1000 years. She is an intelligent and capable fighter, well-trained in the combat arts, and frequently accompanies John Carter on his adventures.

As is the custom of the people of Mars, Dejah shuns the wearing of most clothing except for a few pieces of jewelry. Adapting the character to comics necessitated that those pieces of jewelry be strategically placed. Dejah's revealing fashion sense has made her a popular character for depiction by pinup artists.
