Hugh Hefner (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_801268.html) is to star as a cartoon superhero fighting evil alongside a bevy of Bunnygirls.
The Playboy founder has teamed up with Spider-Man creator and Marvel Comics guru Stan Lee to develop the TV cartoon.
Septuagenarian Hefner will lead an elite crime-fighting team made up of various Playmates of the Month, in the show Hef's Superbunnies, according to Variety magazine.
The adult cartoon will take viewers inside the Playboy Mansion, the heart of his operation to fight injustice.
Lee recently helped to create an animated show called Stripperella, based on former Playboy model Pamela Anderson who has also voiced the character.
Hefner said today: "As a young man, comic books played an important role in my own life.
"I'm glad that a creative genius such as Stan Lee was around to take the appeal of the comic book superhero to the highest level."
Lee said: "As a fan who bought and cherished the very first copy of Playboy in 1953, it is an enormous thrill for me to be partnering with a man who has done so much to shape the culture of the times we live in.
"Hugh Hefner has long been one of the great communicators in our society, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather work with."
