Personality of super athlete Lindsey Vonn

The episode of Bear Grylls and Lindsey Vonn adds some insight to the personality formed by high pressure physical training from an early age.    This is a few years old, but possibly similar to  women trained to be warrior/protectors superheros from an early age.   Its probably expected that the drives and personalities of those trainees might be somewhat different from the vast majority.

Lindsey is very interesting given she was raised to be extremely competitive and athletic and to never give ground to anyone, especially men. 

But my test re: SWM thinking, when it comes to real-life women, is always to answer one question:

If I had the ability to grant one woman Kryptonian-grade powers, who would have the skill and ability to use them for the most good, yet also be unlikely to allow the power to go to their heads?

Lindsey Vonn, for all her talents, would not make my short list.

Who would then? That's a lot of power to get and have fun with!

The people training these superwomen need to do some careful screening before letting loose a pretty powerful force in the universe.    Would they have a force of Internal Affairs agents to reel in a "loose cannon?"

That's a fair question... if we limit the possible answers to actors, models, athletes and other public figures (I've known a couple of women in my private life who could qualify), the key is someone who is trained to use their body in powerful ways (so they can master using superpowers, which I would assume is a very challenging process), and they have the kind of nurturing and compassionate nature that would make them a natural heroine, working only to improve the lives of others. Like stopping wars and criminality and saving us from natural disasters, etc. Classic DC Comics hero stuff. 

And yeah, it would be nice if she was gorgeous too. Beauty can be another superpower, and beautiful and compassionate and kind but with Kryptonion powers would be over the top. 

Lindsey obviously qualifies famously for meeting the physical requirements, but she's a loose cannon otherwise. 

Here's my rather unusual candidate. Her name is Daniela Pestova and she used to be a top model, but maybe not so well known today. She speaks many languages and is comfortable in different cultures, she is known to be a kind soul who is never arrogant or selfish, caring more for others. And she's in wicked shape for a supermodel, especially later in her career. And she's definitely got the looks. Czech by birth, back before the Wall fell, she lived and worked across Europe before settling into more domestic life in the USA. 

She also looks pretty good on a beach...

She is very cute and beautiful and looks like she could save the world in her own way. She's a mom too! So she has Superkids!!

If you know the superwoman could either vaporize you or swat you into a cloud of pink mist would highly prefer a good natured smiley personality.
