Mung Wun

Fly Girl from the Streets

Since the selling point of celebrity is fantasy, it's no surprise that Kaiju's resident starlet, Mung Wun the Thai Fly, scripted her press kit to read like the synopsis of a fairy tale. "An orphan who never knew her parents," the Thai Fly's melodramatic bio begins. "Mung Wun is a product of the streets, a living example of wish fulfillment, a true survivor who worked against the odds to accomplish her goals."

Sounds noble, right? Well, it's a bit glorified: the Thai Fly is sorta from the streets, and she's kind of a testament to survival, but Mung Wun's past isn't much like the Cinderella story depicted in her publicity sheet. The Thai Fly's conception is actually quite, uh, embarrassing.

Many years ago (no one knows exactly how many, because famous females always lie about their age), a common housefly laid 2000-plus eggs in the radioactive dung of Pole Cato. This hot, filthy environment was so hostile to the process of incubation, it destroyed all but one of the budding insects. The lone survivor? Mung Wun's larva.

This tragicomic conception has given Kaiju's gorgeous lady of wrestling an allegiance to the Darwinian notion of "survival of the fittest," obsessive love for the miracle of reproduction, and as one grammatically-challenged magazine printed, "a superiority complex rivaling that of Madonna's." Even though Mung Wun shies from such comparisons by dismissing questions about other lady wrestling figures, the Thai Fly is constantly likened to other female pop icons. "Mung Wun pulls a Madonna," the Kaiju Muckraker Tabloid proclaimed during Mung Wun's heavily publicized pregnancy. "More respected than Pamela Anderson," wrote Peeple. "Taking her cues from Meg Ryan," another rag announced when Mung Wun was romantically linked to both American Beetle and Uchu Chu the Space Bug.

But while being a talented female gets Mung Wun plenty of attention in the masculine environment of Kaiju Big Battel, she considers her gender a double-edged sword. Like when Peeple named the Thai Fly "Sectiest Fly in the Universe," Mung Wun refused to comment, fearing that if she showed support for such objectification, she might not be taken seriously as a competitor. And the most important thing for Mung Wun is her professional dignity.
