When the character of Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) was first introduced in the comics, she was just named "Her" and was created as a counterpart to the character Adam Warlock, who was originally named "Him". She then took on the name "Kismet" and was renamed later as Ayesha. In the Fantastic Four comics, when the Four ask her for her name, she replies "I have had many, but the most appropriate is Ayesha - she who must be obeyed!" Both the name Ayesha and the sobriquet "she who must be obeyed" are references to the 1887 adventure novel "She: A History of Adventure" by H. Rider Haggard. In the novel, the main character is also a priestess named Ayesha and is referred to throughout as "she who must be obeyed". The elaborate Art Deco-style costume and production design for this film's Ayesha is also a nod to the most famous movie adaptation of Haggard's novel, La donna eterna (1935), an American film produced by RKO Radio Pictures.
