Puerto Rican superhero La Borinqueña is shown during a mystical encounter with the powerful deity Yucahu, who appears as a mountain-sized version of a cemi, a type of ritual object.  In the comic, she encounters other Native deities originally described in the 1498 chronicle An Account of the Antiquities of the Indians.
