I hated Disney Channel when it was around and I'm glad it's been buried by Disney+ but once again it is anime that trumps the tween channel, long before it was conceived as a horrid channel with nothing but cringy sitcoms, anime produced one of the most unique main characters, allow me to introduce Cleopatra Corns.
Cleopatra is the teenage CEO of the Corns group, a super rich conglomerate that owns pretty much everything and moonlights as a vigilante group for taking down international terrorists, Cleopatra is a party girl by nature who hates stuffy office environments and business dealings but can also call upon powerful friends, make calls to massive organisations such as OPEC, and actively join in combat, she's basically an 80s retro anime fashionable Kim Possible as her cornucopia of dresses and uniforms is anything to go by from the picture.
And to top it all off, she's African American, yeah the colour palette doesn't make it obvious but this was released in 1986, the idea of an African American woman even leading a franchise is a miracle in Japan in those days.
With all her accomplishments as a character and the fact that her good and bad traits are well balanced, she would be a dream adaption for Disney who are all about these kinds of female characters.
The impact she can bring is incredible to imagine.
Disney Wishes it had Cleopatra
